I have a lot to say about this, hopefully I wont 
get into trouble, even though I can feel it 
coming.  This took two parts to say it all.

Hello Eric, and everyone here tonight,
I just read some of the things above, and well, 
what can I say?  It's this reason that I myself 
am forced to lurk on this message board.  I know 
exactly who, and what to expect from here, and 
how and when and where to say what things.  I am 
actually a well known member of this board, not a 
very popular one, who has now had to make this 
identity to hide under, as well as change my 
posting manners totally around, just to be able 
to stay in this 'community'.  I dont mind though, 
as long as I can stay around for the joy of the 
hobby.  I dont like to see fighting, especially 
when it's over someone with a valid, or not 
valid, complaint and/or question.  YES, we were 
ALL new at this at one time.
Eric, sorry for the misunderstandings on this 
board that you have encountered.  If you would 
listen to my advice, you must be very mindful 
about what you post here.  Posts full of emotion 
are not a good thing.  Anger and frustration are 
not well accepted here.  It's sad, but, it's 
true.  I used to do the same thing, and I have 
all but been shunned because of it.  So, here I 
am, wearing my mask, and hoping I can talk 
respectfully with people from now on.  I 
understand your strife with Celga, and sniping is 
a well known tactic in the cel bizz.  I got 
sniped on a dream cel a few months ago, and it 
really killed me for a few days.  But, if you 
cant beat em, all I can say is join em.  It isnt 
a nice thing to do, but, it's the only thing you 
CAN do in this now very aggressive hobby.  It's 
become a matter of money, and not love for the 
cels. 
I was really taken with one of your comments 
about friends and enemies around here, and it hit 
pretty deep with me.  No one here EVER intends to 
make enemies.  It just happens....I dont even 
know why--over pieces of plastic we act hateful 
to eachother.  I have been outcast simply for 
posting that I was upset about matters very 
similar to yours.  This place is very dangerous 
sometimes.  No one can say a single thing here 
without it having repricussions later.  If you 
make someone mad, chances are they have 
BigCollector friends...and they'll make sure you 
cant find a single thing ever again.  It's not a 
good thing, but it's unavoidable here.  I KNOW no 
one was trying to attack you intentionally.  I 
think there's a lot of folks here who could stand 
to get out and take a walk once in a while 
without breaking someone's head over a question 
that others deem 'stupid'.
