[MOPO] Please cut it out!
I don't like what I am seeing. First you all divide into two camps over whether the buyers premium should be included in the price, and then one side calls those who disagree morons, and then you all again divide into two camps over whether that is an appropriate insult! I understand you all have the right to do and say whatever you want, but is this not very counter-productive? No one is changing sides, and no one is convincing anyone of anything, and people are getting more heated. Remember J.R., that prolific poster who got in a big fight on these boards and then was never seen again (and of course the person who got into it with him almost never posts either)? Is this going to be an instant replay? Does MoPo have so many regular posters that it can afford to lose one or two of the best ones? I think not. Imagine the shape our world would be in if entire countries acted the way MoPo members did in this silly affair. Oh wait, they *DO* act that way, so look at what bad shape the world is in, and decide if you want a microcosm of that here. If you want to split the list down the middle discussing something that no one will ever change their minds on, why not discuss gun control or abortion, or gay marriage? I like MoPo, and I can't help noticing the number of people drops little by little every week, and I can't help wondering if topics like these don't contribute to that. If you need something to unify behind, why don't we discuss how awful eBay is?

Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!
Bruce, I agree that no minds appear to have been changed which is why I tried, feebly, to change the subject. However, I couldn't agree with you more. Gay Married folks with guns can do whatever they want... Patrick ps: methinks that's # 2 for me. So any further thoughts shall be post-poned until tomorrow.

Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!
If you need something to unify behind, why don't we discuss how awful eBay is? The other day, my son (who is 11) discovered the joys of reading Dave Barry. So we logged onto eBay found a lot of 10 books closing in a couple of hours. We put in a bid and won (10 books for $11 + $7 shipping) !! I clicked on the the paypal button and about 30 seconds later money transferred from the bank account (yes, my bank account) to someone, somewhere out in the ether. Yesterday, a box arrived with my books arrived and I left positive feedback for the seller. That was awful!!! eBay and paypal totally suck.

Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!
You poor baby. I can't believe that happened to your son... and so young... Did I ever tell you about my kid brother, Captain Atheist? He was on the news, too. I think I'll get him the '10 Commandments' for Hanukah... (the poster). He'll go nuts! LOL!!! Hey, if he's an atheist, I'm not really discussing religion, right? Then, of course, it would mean Independents aren't really political... How many atheists and Independents are on Ebay? And, most importantly, how do these 'fringe' people feel about BP? Do they even subscribe to the PayPal mentality? Do they honor their restorers and leave sacrificial pots of touch-up paint? I don't trust them.

Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!
Bravo Evan.while there are definitely some issues Ebay could deal with better, I have had some wonderful experiences. My daughter, turning 12 tomorrow, and I collect Disney pins and Beatles memorabilia. We log on all the time together and have a blast finding just the right pin or some Beatles item that we have never seen before. As a seller, I deal daily with the downside of Ebay. However, I remember that Ebay has opened avenues of customers for me that I would otherwise not have. Not only have I developed a huge customer base, but have made some very nice collector friends along the way. So, for me, the good outweighs the annoying. I haven't found anything in life yet that is perfect!

Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!
Hi Folks, I have gotta tell you.there are some great personalities on this site and enjoy mysemi-lurking considerably. These two post simply and emphatically got me laughing out loud. But to the point. Evan, this is really important to me. Do you feel the books (10) now have a value of $10.00 or $18.00?.Jus kidding folks; a little levity never hurts...Honest, don't want to start it again, right Sue..haha, Vaughn At 05:03 PM 7/15/2008 -0400, Freedom Lover wrote: You poor baby.
