I still find it difficult to sit down, after the blistering I got from my first post that had about 20 poster images of my want list.
Ouch. Doug Taylor From: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 13, 2015 1:53 AM To: MOPO Yes, we've had some grand flame wars during the history of MOPO! This was a mere skirmish in comparison. I 've only threatened one poster person with bodily harm, and that was over the phone. This guy wanted to buy a poster from me but kept dragging his heels, wouldn't send a deposit, and was generally not somebody I wished to deal with anymore. Someone else offered me a ton of dough for the same poster and I sold it. This guy called me and became incredibly unpleasant, insulting me and basically calling me a crook, a scumbag,....the usual dickhead repertoire of lame insults. I calmly reminded him that he had every chance to purchase the poster but did not come through with anything resembling a payment. I also calmly reminded him that i had his physical address and would be happy to show up at his doorstep in a couple of hours with another linen backed one sheet which i would then insert in his back passage without the use of lubricating liquids. Free of charge. I'm a generous fellow. (It is very, very hard to piss me off, by the way, but....THIS guy was a piece of work.) I never heard from him again. Sometimes, the written word just doesn't convey a message as well as the warm, soothing sound of the human voice, does it? Carry on, my fellow poster dorks!

People kind of police themselves and/or things usually die out on their own. And in my view, there have been way more horrific fights over genuine scams that have been battled out than this. I confess that watching the occasional "verbal" fracas break out sometimes reveals character and temperamental thresholds that were not meant to be seen. As a news vulture, we love this; this is why "disgruntled employees" and "disgruntled customers" are the source of most stories. So long as no one gets physically hurt - nor is threatened with physical harm in public or private - (the latter which HAS occurred in the past) - I'm indifferent. -d. > > Date: Sun, 12 Jul 2015 16:48:42 +1000 > From: [email protected] > Subject: Re: current conversation on shipping at Heritage > To: [email protected] > > Hi Franc > > thanks for your comment.
