:lol I as well as a few others here would say the same things if not worse face to face TRUST me! :lol
@StevenRogers84 I am not sure what to write. Though you seem to have a penchant for sticking your nose in other peoples business (the Krull Glaive FS thread) without knowing the full facts. This is the reason that new members REALLY should hang out for about a year and not post but just watch and learn. Learn not only how to build props but learn what has gone on in the past before you go off on us. You (and others) may have "thin skin" because you haven't been here all that long and you don't know the "secret handshake" that we older members know.
I always felt that to truly contribute to this forum one should understand the personalities that are here since you ARE dealing with people. I deal with several different types of people each and everyday. I don't judge them but I learn how to converse with them. It's called rapport building. But I also have a very small tolerance for time or space-suckers. Meaning people that have nothing to contribute but just feel the need to type or talk to hear themselves speak/write.
So you might feel more at home somewhere else. Maybe over on another prop forum that is sweet and pretty and everyone talks of puppy dogs and icecream. If so, then it's been fun.

I received your pm about mr I take peoples money, but totally don't care about there feelings of getting ripped off. And I haven't said anything else about it. I feel that ignoring people getting scammed out of hundreds of dollars is wrong and other members taking up for the guy who is still buying and interested pending price when he owes people money who have asked for refunds seeing how months and months go by without the item they paid for even more wrong. I am sorry about what his family has had to endure so I haven't said anymore about him scamming people or not caring. Why bring that up?

You think we should give him a link to TFBB?
I hear he, "who shall not be named" is looking for more cannon fodd er Members.

My point of bringing this up is that you feel compelled to rush to defend those who DON'T need defending. That thread inparticular was none of your or my business.
This again falls under the same scenario as this thread. Members that feel the need to post a thread that is "news to them but not to the rest of us" but has been talked about in other forums should hang out and watch ALL the forums and get educated before making fools of themselves. Especially members that tend to post MOSTLY in the OT or EM forum.

Thanks, I really appreciate that!
Yes, I agree but he was being a real jerk IMO and I didn't feel that I had done anything to him personally to deserve his comment....
My thoughts exactly....
Thanks! I don't really share the hobby per say. I enjoy crafting things but no where near to the extent that my husband does. Though, I really enjoy his talent, especially when he creates something for me. I, also, enjoy some Science fiction based tv shows and movies but that's pretty much the extent of it unfortunately...
I have to say that I probably won't be posting ever again in this forum....
I like Mellem thanks! :lol Oh and thanks for the compliment on my looks as well :$
Yes, I just occasionally like to post something cool that I see over the internet that I feel that some people would enjoy as well but needless to say, I won't be posting anything here ever again....
I don't blame your wife, I'm not coming here anymore either....

I wasn't defending the people that are losing money I just hoped that by helping them by not ignoring there pleas for the item or money. The guy might want to make it right with them. Simply because I know how they feel.
And I don't think this thread was as foolish as a lot of them are.
Simply a girl who wanted to share something that she thought was cool and wanted to share it. I took at her wanting to fit in with this community. It was cool as I would have never found it by searching because I didn't know it happened, but now I do.
And I never turn my back on anything that I feel is wrong such as that glaive thread.
I understand that this is how most 'new' members took it.
Again, (I guess I am just not being clear) the information IS neat BUT it has been discussed AT LENGTH on other forums (General Modeling, Junkyard, Prop). Since this member is new and doesn't really post on any other forum on this board, this thread comes across (to most of us that have been here for more than a year) as a "bonehead" thread. We don't need new members trying to fit in. We need members that want and CAN contribute to the greater good of the board. If she or anyone else wants to fit in...hang back, watch ALL of the forums and understand who you are dealing with.
Is that a little more clear?
Au contraire, I know of plenty of women as well as men who need a controlling influence in their lives
Now which Kubrick film are you going to watch?

Man, humor left this thread a long time ago, Nwerke.
Nah, I don't feel browbeaten at all. I'm a big boy and I can take ribbing and I do understand how people feel the need to be Internet 'heroes'. It's all good.
I will let the people who feel insulted by my posts determine in their own minds whether my apology was sincere, sarcastic, bullyish or just down right rude.... Hint, it's one of those.
I for one love reading your post's don't ever change, by the way your still condemned to the sin bin and seriously did Bruce Willis die ????

Alright, now that I acknowledged all those who were kind to me and one that wasn't unfortunately, I'm going to make a post here that most likely will be my last post ever....
(Sigh) First, I want to say that I never had any intention or need to join this forum until my husband suggested that I join because at the time he was entering a contest on here and wanted me to be a part of it. He also felt that I would enjoy some of the Off Topic discussions on here, as well as some of the Smallville and Doctor Who post, since I am fans of those shows. So, I agreed to create an account. No, I'm not into model building, though, I do enjoy certain crafts. However, I think my husband is a very talented man and I find so much of what he crafts and builds very fascinating and creative. I wanted to support him and share in his interest to some extent, which is another thing that spurred me to create an account on here.
That being said, I am appalled at the insensitivity, as well as the lack of human decency and respect for your fellow man, that I see going on here. Ok, so you're annoyed because there are so called "newbies" making post that are to some members considered "old news" but why do you feel the need to attack and comment on these post in such a negative way, or even at all? What's the point, other than being a BIG jerk and a bully, that is? It's just showing how petty and mean spirited these individuals are and of course, that they have no life whatsoever....I felt attacked and hurt because I was innocently just trying to share some things that I found to be cool and I wanted to discuss these things with others who may have felt the same way. I did not expect to be attacked by bullies who have nothing better to do with their time than to attack others. To me, being a bully is just a cover up for all sorts of insecurities. People feel the need to show they're better than others when deep down inside they really know that they are anything but.....
That being said, I will no longer be posting anything else in this forum. I would rather share things in forums where individuals will be treated with respect and at least some semblance of decency, when making a post. I don't want to be put down for trying to be friendly and share a little something of interest with my fellow human beings because I thought that's what we all were, human beings??? I find it disgusting that people are making statements such as "She would never last...." and "She needs a thicker skin...." in regards to being a member of this forum. It's that mentality that makes this world the unloving and uncaring place that it is. It only takes one act of kindness, one ounce of human decency to make things a little less stressful on others and a little more tolerable. Do we have to continue in a pattern of bullying and disrespect in order to fit in? If so, I would rather remain the outsider, thank you very much! The intention of my post was never to upset or annoy anyone but just to share something of interest and perhaps discuss it with others who also find it interesting but I see now that this is not the place to do it. This is not a place that any decent human being should be because apparently, they will be eaten alive. So, I'm taking my leave of this forum. It's a shame people have to be so mean and petty but I'll leave that to a higher power because in the end, we'll all have to be held accountable for our actions and lack of love for our fellow man....

Bell curve. Occasional posts like yours are as inevitable as the rising of the sun. Individually they are meaningless; we'll know there's a real problem if we get dozens at once.
But I think the balance of evidence tonight suggests the bulk of the problem was your humourlessness. The level of over-reaction here was fairly epic.
That said, I wish you luck in finding a forum where the camaraderie is more to your liking. Beware, as some forums appear to offer a ton of gushy love, but it often turns out to be phony and shallow. At least here you don't get BSd that way!

There's having a sense of humor and then, there's being rude and obnoxious. I have a sense of humor when the joke is not at another's expense and when it's ACTUALLY funny and doesn't put an individual or their innocent actions down. I find that when someone has a laugh at someone else's expense they're usually highly insecure and trying to very hard to hide their insecurities...
