Afrika Corps wrote:I just wanted to give my 2 cents worth on this subject: there does seem to be a number of people who apparently have some mediocre D&D items they are trying to get rid of but know nothing about it, and have done a google search and apparently come across this site and get all excited about it and post their auctions here with maybe some impelishment hoping to peak the interest of the few diehard collectors. I believe this because I have looked at the classified section at all the posts and mostly you never hear from these people again, they never particapate in any of the discussions or forums but only to use this site as an intermediatory Pimp to peddle and advertise their crap. Too bad they never stick around to actually read and maybe learn something so yes I can understand some of your members anger and disgust because I have felt it too.

Kingofpain89 wrote:I don't know how most people feel but when complete strangers post without introducing themselves first it isnt too much different than a complete stranger walking up to you in a store or on the street and then starts talking to you without introducing themselves first. There are unwritten rules to the way you present yourself in public and by not following those rules you run the risk of offending someone. It's not a whole lot different in cyberspace. Just my two cents anyway.

Boreas wrote:As I mentioned when I recently posted with my first full interaction with the group, I have lurked for a long time but posted rarely. Having read posts for years, I do think there is an unnecessary abrasive overtone to some of the postings that make it intimidating to interact here. There also appears to be a gang mentality approach toward a few posters whereby their posts are routinely pummeled despite there being some value (to me at least) in them. Having said that, if you can make your way past a zealous vocal minority, inside the 'inner sanctum' the nonvocal majority have been extremely cordial, helpful and encouraging. Unfortunately people may see the 'front line' as the 'bottom line'.With the recent purchase of these old war games, I recently joined a couple war game collecting groups and have been reading old posts one after the other in order to better understand that hobby from the collecting standpoint. I can report to you that neither of these extremely active boards exhibit this initiation process. To the contrary the moderators and users alike have welcomed my rediculous and silly questions (to them), allowing me to assume a certain level of confidence when I post. Flame the comparison if you wish, but the difference is real.I will stick my neck out further and say that the OP here may be all that you claim him to be (a troll, a false advertiser, a person for which English is both his first and second language), but so far no one knows for sure. I would argue that the end does not justify the means.Andy

The latest bullshit:I have these display samples in my possession because I managed this company for several years and personally knew/know the management of TSR. I am currenty looking for any TSR Invoice or letterhed I may have in my possession to send along also , I am in the process of moving and this the reason I am selling this stuff. I will see if I can locate an actual invoice, right now I have everything boxed. Should be easy enough for one of you sleuths to prove/disprove.
