Ah, the life of a second hand gaming items dealer... How the money rolls in...

And remember, he didn't have to post anything at all: Foul made it very clear that Titan's updates in the classifieds threads were acceptable and could continue forever.And how do some of the High Priests of the Acaeum community respond? With name-calling, embarrasing self-righteous indignation, and a general "hey! open season on Sardul!" attitude. C'mon, guys, time to to grow up. This isn't Max or JonB we're dealing with; we should be able to have a debate or a disagreement without resorting to grade-school shit.There is a lot of anger lately at this site. Take any given thread from the last two months and scan through the posts: the level of sarcasm, backbiting, and outright anger you'll find is simply stunning (I wonder when talking about a tiny niche of a niche hobby became so hazardous, but I'll save that thought for another day).In the case of Titan, though, this anger is being misdirected. Don't like high shipping charges or someone posting a too-long list? Fine. But don't blast a guy who is trying to be reasonable and who didn't even have to respond in the first place. Exercise the one power you have as a consumer: vote with your wallet.+++++So as to end on a more constructive note, I have a thought for any Titan folks who might read this. For purposes of this particular forum (which barely recognizes the existence of 2e, let alone 3e), take your "full" list, do a save-as, and just keep anything printed in 1990 or before as a new list for posting here. Also, as Deimos said, feel free to join in on other threads here from time to time. This will help us get to know you better.
