If you knew me, you'd know I don't lie. [/b]
OK, I could not resist this one. I wasn't coming back, but damn, Phil is such a tease.
You are
not a liar Phil, but you must admit you do enjoy dramatizing simple things. Well, maybe you don't enjoy it, but you do it.
A
phone call became
wrath, just in this thread for instance. You paint quite a picture of the Blade Runner collectors. A paranoid and judgemental group who are lurking in the shadows, hating us, fearing we will somehow diminish the mystique of thier collections.
:rolleyes
And I just don't agree that you are treated
so horribly on these boards. You defend yourself just fine when you need to, quite well in fact, and you never whelch on a deal, this is not in question at all. And niether is your history that keeps getting brought up. Everyone knows that despite your feelings, you will take money from anyone and deliver the best product to them you can, despite any outside stuff.
You've said you don't have any financial stake in the gun, I believe you. Your reputation though, I think you see that as being at stake here. Again, I know it's a fine line you're walking right now between us and them. I can respect what you are trying to do.
I don't know if it's your nature to be as dramatic as you come across on the boards, probably not. But people read into that in different ways, myself included, and some folks see through it. Not me so much.
Speaking of, the other thing that really bothered me about the last few pages is Richard side stepping a staff members simple question by saying
"No, I did not ask Karl to post his pictures."
This
wasn't the question at all. You know the question. I'm not asking you to address it Rich, I'm just wanting to point out that you are side stepping the question, and it bugs me. Lots.
The whole notion that you think you have any RIGHTS to the blade runner gun beyond your own work is really what gets under my skin. You don't. The fact that someone who owns one of the three hero guns thinks he can ask someone to remove pictures, and that you told them you would, when they
are not your pictures, well that just pisses me off. I mean, there are balls, and there are
balls.
And until we hear from the owner directly, or the owner contacts someone other than the person admitting he wants to hide the pictures from competitors with more time, who might make it to the market first, I think we should assume you are less than honorable in your CURRENT intentions. Your past, like Phil's, is not in question.
You have all but admitted that you are trying to control the market, and I have to call BS on that. It sucks Rich.

PS- On a related note, Phil's ID does not share the details of the Jacobson ID. He's not lying about that at all, and I do believe his ID accurately represents what's in the film - to the best of his knowledge, and ours.
Has Phil been wrong before? :love

Speaking as someone who's been cleaned out before, this is one of the best reasons I've read in this whole thread. [/b]
Yeah, I've been cleaned out too, but no one here is asking for a street address. This has nothing to do with the issue at hand IMHO. I don't think anybody is asking for a list.
But if the owner is using it as a reason not to come forward, who can argue that? I mean obvious they are not going to come forward with anything, or make themselves known in any fashion. That would damage THIER Mystique.. :rolleyes
Karl brought up something interesting. Mods, Staff, correct me if I'm wrong, but is the fastest growning thread in RPF history?? :confused
