I have bought and sold a few things here and only got burned once. I guess it was just a misunderstanding between me and the other guy- It was my understanding that he was going to send payment for an intake that I built and he understood that if I let him leave with it, it must be free. See, just a misunderstanding I stopped waiting for my check over 2 years ago but I'm not bitter or anything

Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason than that of blindfolded fear."

Don't turn this into a religion thread, conn. He has his right to express his beliefs just as you do yours. But apparently your beliefs center around the idea that anyone who doesn't think like you is a moron.

It's not like PFF hacked into your computer and stole your precious sticker files.

Looks to me like you are the one that needs to grow up. You screwed yourself out of that one my friend.


That's a bit harsh.

One thing I have noticed on this forum is that SOME folks are so abrupt and aggressive, I doubt that they'd be so if face to face!

no thats the thing - starting with my generation people are much more blunt and lacking tact - mostly due to indifference - they just don't care
I'm used to it so it doesn't bother me - but the older crowd tends to get offended by it.

Indifference must be replacing respect, civility and common courtesy then, which is something sadly quite a few on here seem to lack.

I'm sorry I can't listen to anything you Formula or Dennis says, because you belong to cults where its OK to demean people that don't belong to your cult. Carry on passing out the kool aid.

I guess according to some of you guys my best friend from Israel is a dishonest thief because he doesn't believe Jesus is the messiah.

Maybe you need to re-read my posts.

[EDIT] Perhaps this needs to be spelled out more clearly...

connecticutFIERO, I hope you realize how dense you’ve made yourself look. In my first post, which was addressing Formula88, I was mildly chastising him because you weren't the first person to bring up religion in this thread, and for your information, I had agreed with what you posted. Yes, I had agreed with you! My second post, which was addressing Johnny, was simply a silly remark in response to his equally silly remark.

Geez, talk about taking something the wrong way!

It seemed as if you were strongly in the I hate non christians camp for a minute there because of your comment to Johnny.

What do you expect when you insult someone, and then it seems you insulted Johnny too. So I thought. I was under the impression that you disagreed with me calling Dennis to task for saying non christians were dishonest theives.

But if it's not that way, then I apologize.

I'm more then happy to see you not thinking like them, I have no problem saying I'm sorry if you meant it another way.

See the little smiley face winking in the top left hand corner of my post to Johnny? That’s to reinforce the notion that I was just kidding around with him. If Johnny comes by this thread again, maybe he can report how mortally wounded he was by my rebuttal to his comment. He was probably flattered by it!

I quoted Formula88 at the start of my original post. Does that not indicate to you that I was therefore addressing him? I didn’t agree with him singling out you for bringing religion into this thread, when in fact it was actually Dennis who brought it up in the first place. I have no idea how you could’ve totally misconstrued what I had to say.

If you knew my history at PFF at all, you'd know that lumping me in with the “Christians” was a low blow. (Please note the smiley face winking again.)

Well, I had a snide reply to this... even corrected your spelling, but remembered that good christians like yourself are always right so I best mind myself. Besides, doesn't do to argue with a pig, just get mud slung on you and make the pig angry.

In the over four years I've been here, only a small handful have been dishonest.

I would say that the majority are more than willing to help and are honest.

The reason I addressed my comment to conn and not Dennis is that Dennis made one passing religious comment. But conn's comment was inflammatory, calling Dennis moronic, and is beliefs assinine. While Dennis' religious comment may have brought some kindling to the flamewar, it was conn standing there with the blowtorch to set it all on fire.

It's ironic that conn blasts you, Dennis and me for being members of a cult that says it's ok to demean people, then goes off trashing Dennis. I guess that makes him a member of the same cult.

And while Dennis' one comment went unanswered for several posts, once conn brought in his flamethrower, it quickly ended up in the trash can. I addressed my comments to the right person.

Not true. He referred to Dennis’s statement as “moronic”.

Also not true. The very next post after Dennis’s by Custom2M4 called him on it.

You addressed your comments to someone who opposed your views. Yes, in your mind it was the right person.
