MoPo'ers: There has been an interesting thread over on the always stimulating discussion site "Not Suitable For General Exhibition" with the topic title "Why are some at MoPo A-Holes?"
In light of the current uproar over Rick's less-than-complete description of his Star Wars poster, I can now see why this group is perceived in this light by some people. That's not a good reputation to have. Gee, I wonder how we got it? :) I agree that many eBay sellers (and in this case Rick) aren't completely forthcoming in their eBay item titles. Whether deliberate or because of space restraints it *IS* frustrating. We're all time-starved these days, so when an item is in the wrong category or not completely described in that title it can be a pain and a waste of time. JR does have a valid concern. But this frustration shouldn't deteriorate into insult, and JR (no matter how ticked off) shouldn't have implied that Rick is "behaving like a jerk." I wouldn't think it wise to alienate potential customers. We're supposed to be somewhat of a community here. If you really dislike some of your fellow participants please make better use of your mail program and BLOCK that person so you won't have to put up with their posts, or make better use of your delete key. (Haven't I said all of this many times before??) Bad feelings run deep in this hobby--some "feuds" have been going on for a very long time. I've never really understood most of them, nor have they affected me personally. But the nastiness that crops up in this group from time to time is really disturbing. How about keeping some of that stuff private? I have to hand it to Bruce, though. Talk about taking lemons and making lemonade. He's the only guy I know who can turn a controversy into a sales pitch. Smooth, Bruce, smooth!
