Um, I already know Im going to get a lot of 
negative responses from people about this post, 
but I had to do it.  Yes, Yann, I know you're 
sick of me, and you too JP, and other countless 
names, but oh well...cant win em all. 

 Im really shocked at all the madness going on at 
fellow collectors here.  I came to this place 
cause it was a public forum, to talk about cels, 
and all matters related to them.  I didnt know 
there was some sort of Rules List, or hierarchy 
to abide by.  It's like a wolf pack....there are 
the top wolves, and wolves who are forced to 
scroung on the outsides, picking up scraps.  
That's not very nice.  Alot of you seem to think 
this hobby is some kind of competition.   GOD, 
had I known sharing the Taro announcement was 
going to instantaneously make me the scapegoat 
for an international server crash, I would have 
never said a word.  I felt that it was public 
knowledge, I thought it would make others happy 
to know about it.  This is a hobby, you are 
supposed to like, and help others who share in 
it.  Not hide things, or cheat others, or bash 
them, or attack them just because they may have 
gotten something you wanted.  Or said something 
about a "secret site", and it lowers your chances 
of getting something from it.  Or hate them for 
some kind of personal disagreement, and not sell 
to them again, or buy from them again, and tell 
others to never sell to them.  What's so bad 
about the mentality that seems to be so 
effervescent on here, is that it affects us all!  
We all miss out on things we want due to others 
holding personal issues over us.  Tell me, is 
that how you want it?  I dont like it.  

There seem to be a select few of us on here that 
get the boot most of the time.  You know who you 
are. The ones that, no matter what they do or 
say, get SOMEone to tell them off for it.  I am 
one of them, but I take it.  God knows there are 
lots of people on here who will never sell 
something to me because I *annoy* them....Lord, 
how sad.  Then, there are the truly nice people, 
the people that dont make pre-judgements on you 
based on this place, and still help out, and 
share the wealth.  I truly thank all my friends 
out there, you guys are wonderful. 

Anyways, I just saw all the posts to Avery, and I 
felt bad. She was upset, her prized cel was 
ruined, and she wanted comfort, and got flamed 
instead.  Then, there's that other person who 
made the web site for me and called me slow 
because I didnt want to accept the blame for the 
Taro incident.  And then there's Yann telling me 
to quit posting.  THAT is a first for me.  Never 
before has the owner of a forum asked me to quit 
posting.  I mean, really.  This makes one feel 
quit bad.  I think you all should think a bit 
more before you personally attack people.  Myself 
included.  Im no angel, but I plan on working on 
that.  Sorry for this post, it'll probably get 
deleted by Yann because it's me "whining" again, 
and taking up precious space on the forum where 
another "Show me your blank" post could have 
been.   I hope it has at least some kind of good 
effect though, it was meant to.
