Next time I suggest you try offering up an original British 1SH produced
for the foreign market for the 1949 film, The Third Man - good chance it
will slip by unnoticed...

When I was brand new to the poster world I contact Sue of Hollywood
Poster Frames. I told her I had Grand Hotel and she said I could go on
a place called MOPO, but be prepared to get slammed. She said I would
find out who wanted the poster. I thought it couldn't be that bad. By
the end the story was I stole it from a farmer or some strange deal
and other totally false stories. Others said what an ugly poster it
was and on and on. Not too much in the positive except fromBruce H and
Doug. I don't post or follow as much as I used to, but really enjoy
the interaction and getting to know many of you. Even though it is
mainly just through the internet.
Cheers,

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.

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!

Yes, all this is true, but as a member since the 1990s, things have a
way of working themselves out, with Scott having to jump in only a
handful of times. 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.

not a good thing. However, surely we can have some basic rules where
by if you make posts personally attacking others using the 'F' and any
other words like it then they should not be used. On the topic of
private messages being published then that I think is a point in time
where an administrator should step in and say a rule of the forum has
been broken. Otherwise the word'private' has no meaning and the forum
becomes like the wild west and anybody can abuse anyone without
consequence. Belonging to a forum that has that potential is scary.

Ben, while I don't disagree with your sentiment, I'm also not in favor
of censorship in connection with this board. I'm also not in favor of
people who troll the board with never a nice thing to say about
anything, looking to start an argument. That's my opinion. Franc

degenerate over the past few days. I am not sure what others think
but, personally I would appreciate it if those that feel it necessary
to carry on with a slanging match and start using inappropriate
language that all of us have to read , stop doing so. I belong to
other forums in other industries and we have a ruling were we
professionally respect each other and are forbidden to publically
abuse one another regardless if we agree or disagree with a comment.
If we do not keep to this ruling then the administrator of the forum
boots us off. There are simply better ways of getting your point of
view across. If you feel you must get down to this level then do it
privately to the person intended. Scott, what about stepping in here ?
If not, then I feel Mopo has lost its way and will lose its members if
this is the standard that is allowed to keep going forward. Regards
