Scary...I'm imagining Rat's apartment furnished with, well...Consider those pics of all the FedEx furniture, only the same exact items constructed entirely of feminine hygiene pads...

I appreciate the sympathy, but I love abuse. That's why I got married.
Like I said, I don't think you honestly believe STD's yearly-wage handling fee is legitimate.

What did the message finally get through?  

And please spare me the rant about how I am angry or whatever, because please do not kid yourself and actually think that you are somehow important enough in my life for me to care enough to get angry about you or anything that you say.

So I'm being hazed (sp?) is what you're saying?  That's too funny.  I somehow think that "a certain someone" (see, I didn't mention your name) would find something wrong with anything I might have to say, even in "1st edition modules I loved" (all of them, incidentally).  I don't really want an ST1, so I'll have to go with the OB3 option, I suppose.  I'll start saving my pennies.  Actually, if I quit smoking today, I might almost have enough by the next time one comes up (yeah, I smoke ALOT).

'move along please - nothing to see here'

Radovarl - you previously stated thet you were unaware of what a 'troll' is. Now I'm no expert on exact definitions but I believe it could be said that somone who deliberately tries to make divisive and contentious points could be described as a forum troll.

In my opinion I would say that your posts make you into a troll on this particular forum. While I might not possibly put it as strongly as BC I really would suggest that you try to 'get along', in what is generally a forum peopled by mainly decent individuals.

Forgive me if you feel I am speaking out of turn but I do feel strongly that threads like this belittle what 'we' are trying to do here.

Remember if you do love D&D and the like this is the place for you, if not, then you are wasting your time posting, and by continuing in the vein you are in you are unlikely to make many friends here.

Sorry if this is a bit rambling but to quote Woody out of Toy Story '....play nice.'

Or perhaps gyg, just put a little more PC than me.  My post was meant to caustic, because I wanted to get my point across.   Here is my issue, I do not care if you stay or if you go, I really don't.  My issue(which has been comapounded by STS' insistant posts here) is that if you are going to be here don't do two things:

1) Criticize people here for their collection size, because this is after all a "D&D Collectors forum".

2)  Most importantly, Don't bitch that this place sucks and then continue to post here.  Its perhaps my biggest Pet Peeve(or Pet Hate if you are from he UK   ), both on this forum and to be honest in real life as well.  

To underline my second point, as I think the first point pretty much speaks for itself, is long ago I used to work as a manager in a restaurant.  In this restaurant every once in awhile, we would have a customer complaint where a customer would complain and then say, "Every time I come here there is a problem!". Now obviously I couldn't say it, but one of the first things that used to pop into my head was, "If everytime you come here there is a problem in your mind, then why the f**k are you still coming here?".  I mean, its seems obvious to me that if everytime you go someplace you hate it and it sucks, then its probably best if you find someplace else to go and yet these people just could not seem to get it.

Same thing applies here, if you like this place, then great hang out and post away (assuming that you do not take the route of STS who goes out of his way to say things that are nothing more than bait tactics meant to do nothing more than to piss people off), but if for some reason you find that this place is not to your liking per se, do yourself and everyone else a favor and find someplace that you do find more to your liking. Everyone (yourself included) will be happier for it.

hey talking about shite, about 20 of my posts have been useful

but hey how cant you like me

Rad. just enjoy the forum chummer. its a fun place to be. you will get used to the nooks and crannys of the place if you just take a little time to step back and watch whats going on.

in general, this lot are a great bunch. ppl come n go, but they are a-ok, despite some heavy-handed comments at times, which come with very good reason.

my earlier post did not insult anybody. what i did was call the comments stupid.

but hey its a new day, so enjoy it!

** expired/removed eBay auction **


Here is an auction from the genius (I noticed you used my term above, Badmike...thanks) who sells copies of tournament modules.

(I am thinking of bidding just to get a photocopy.   )

What should be noted is his terms for "combined shipping."

His shipping price and "combined shipping" terms are a nice example of what I mentioned above in this strand....

Mark  

I don't always give you credit Mark but you know you invented the term so I don't bother...  Isn't appropriation the finest form of flattery?



And speaking of the genius....



So if I get four of his items, shipping is $18?  Geez.
