Re: [MOPO] Please cut it out!

[Vaughn K.Mann]

One more time,

I'm with you on this SueI keep my E-bay auctions down to a 
number I can personally handle. Thus, I communicate with the buyers and 
have met many wonderful people from all over the world, that I now call 
friends.  I have a new friend in Brazil that wanted to talk Politics 
(Brazilian); a woman in Oklahoma, whose great Grand Dad, did the Okla. land 
rush. P. who resides in the UK whose daughter works about 50 miles from me. 
He is coming over to the USA in about a month and wants to meet and, of 
course, have tea. I could go on and on and yes.it has been a great 
experience for me. Yep...E-Bay sure has it down side; I just finished 
trying to communicate with Ebay Support.agh! but, there are 
definitely some plus's..Vaughn

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!

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.

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

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.

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?

Yes, for the sake of my poor delete key (which is currently only a DE  TE key 
due to overuse) please spare the group the overlaying bickers and battles.   I 
am sure there is some good info being passed along in some of those messages 
but at this point I don't have the time or patience to read or skim through the 
30 MOPO messages I am finding when I get off work.  Everyone on this list is 
like a fingerprint - unique, with each having similar interests but varying 
beliefs on matters being talked about.  I love to have my head out in the open 
but with all the tomatos being thrown I have been keeping back and just 
watching the melee.   Is it safe to come out yet?  Hope so.

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.
