So well done. Not only are you a grumpy old cunt, but a sad little man with it too. Keep your bullshit negativity to yourself next time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,873 Posted March 24, 2019 Let’s not jump down everyone every time, we have a good Mod team and they actively spend all their free time weeding out scammers and socks behind the scenes. We don’t need to be a bunch of pocket rocket mall cops. Op was new didn’t know the etiquette, one post informing him is enough. Nothing Op had done got my spidey senses going it seemed a genuine mistake. OP we are a bunch of cunts, but we’re a good bunch of cunts. There is a lot of dry Witt and banter, but we have a good community heart. I hope you stick around and hopefully enjoy it here in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mystery Shopper 5,887 Posted March 25, 2019 Pretty good Luthier impression by Ben earlier. Not in a good way either. For the newbies, Luthier was an acidic newb basher that had to be told to pull his head in from time to time and play nice with new members. Thats one of the reasons we celebrate a board thats over 10 years old and has had 100,000 members over the years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mentioned a future sale? Ok, so that's not allowed, so he should be warned off - not fecking crucified! He's been here years so is allowed to sell in that respect, the posts he's sticking up are imo quality - nice pics of his collection - why can't he sell? If the mods want to reset his post count because they're concerned about him, they will! But I think abusing the guy is just a tad too far. Not until we know him better at least....

deju 1,873 Posted March 25, 2019 The good old days, blah blah. I could see @pickledbeetroot Baldrick and the Banjo monkey poking and prodding you and trying to make you dig your own banning Alas I think you missed the mark here and mirroring Onionbag’s bitter descent, may signal the beginning of the end.

Please for the love of god @BenjaminButton Good old days, you're right. Bollocks to that. New world order has arrived and the good old days of banter are over. Silly old me, I didnt get the memo that all we needed these days was some yard and a blunt pair of knitting needles. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The OP hasn't been posting trivial shite like some do to up their post count, so he has no worries in getting his post count reset. Yes, he did mention about selling watches, and was gently advised by @Glaude and all was good, before being jumped upon and butt fucked! Banter is all well and good, but not taken to the next level and hauled over the coals for a trivial misunderstanding. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
