Maybe you could go post on that other thread where your stories of glory are applauded and celebrated instead of inviting ridicule here where most members who have posted have advised you otherwise.

lol show me where ONE person told me that in a constructive manner. right there isnt one. i simply defended my position while condemning the way in which i was spoken to by the community here, which you are trying desperately to defend by somehow calling their verbal lashings "injecting humor" and yet have the gall after all ive said about why i started the thread to again MOCK me openly by suggesting i take my "stories of glory" elsewhere where i can be "applauded" after, again, ive stated very clearly it is not my intention to brag, nor do i need approval from you to feel special in some way.

and what is your definition of useful dialogue? casual conversation hurts no one and the simplest answer to all of this would be for the members who dont find it interesting to simply NOT VIEW THE THREAD OR PARTICIPATE IN THE CONVERSATION. instead you, and they, have chosen to arrogantly dismiss me as some sort of outcast and then defend it because a few of you are in agreement. its supposedly humorous when you condescend, but rude when i defend...your logic is severely flawed and i simply deserved none of it. pushing a long time member away for simply starting a non-offensive conversation is simply mind boggling to say the least. ive probably been here longer than most the ones who tell me i should go someplace else.

I don't see anyone here being rude to you. All of these are conversational and informative.

Your post however;

yes because MOTL is the law apparently and your point still sucks because i didnt say i was ignorant of the law i said i was ignorant that my old account still existed. ill be surprised if i can still remember the password even.

you can call my post whatever you want. believe me i wont try again. why would i want to converse with a bunch of people like you anyways? heck ive tried to explain myself the best i could and still just get attacked, not ONE person could say something without being a rude, condescending jerk about it.

i love how im somehow satan for trying to have a discussion...utterly ridiculous. you act like i asked how many babies you've punched in the face and gotten away with it. brag post...god we have discussions like this on the video game forums all the time! theres a group of us who hunt the flea market every week and meet up later in the day to chat and show each other the loot we scored and maybe do some trading! it wasnt supposed to be like "hAY guyz i totz ripped deez ppl off come looooke!" it was simply telling some stories about those best of times when things work out for us. idk about you but sharing stories about the 5 packs of BOTG i just opened and got nothing of interest in just doesnt seem to be as fun to talk about.

and just for the example heres a thread from another forum ive been a part of where we collect old ninja turtles toys....its called recent steals and notice how no one is being a complete jerk about it....

i never wanted to insult anyone and i never wanted to be insulted either. nor do i see where i ever asked anyone to post stories about ripping another person off.

once on THIS VERY SITE i made a trade with another very nice fellow that included some of my best cards at the time...was trading them for his playset of masticores which were worth about 16 dollars a piece at the time we exchanged addresses. literally while the cards were in the mail the masticore sunk to about 4 dollars each, making the trade go unbelievably in his favor. surely it was an amazing deal for him, not so much for me but i wasnt mad or anything in the least. how could i be? did he take advantage of me? of course not thats ridiculous. did he get a great deal? of course he did.

neither did i take advantage of a card shop for picking up a card for 50 cents that skyrocketed in price 12 years later. nor did i screw someone who wanted an awesome dave mustaine signiture series guitar and traded me a decent blue deck that had the FOWs in it.

i can add "please" to a lot of sentences that can still be rude.
