Insulting messages

[bluebird]

I have had some insulting messages from a fellow memeber on here, whose name I wont mention at the moment.

I have actually done a deal with this member. I also ENQUIRED about some other items but as things stand at the moment funds are a bit low so I told them that. I had a quite insulting message back from that member and have now recieved another stating I wasted their time? how can a enquiry be wasting someones time. Also been told that people on welfare shouldnt be collecting Mego as they are for only serious collectors and people with money. I am not on welfare I work full time but have a family to support so cannot afford to spend 100s of pounds all the time.
I have had some great contacts and made some good friends on here but really feel like not bothering with this site anymore.

THIS IS PART OF THE LAST MESSAGE THEY SENT ME TODAY

There simply must be a price to be paid for messing around your betters. This is the worlds best ape customs, these are ONLY for the serious mego ape fanatic [not the casual interest follower or people So poor they have to "sell" things to be able to purchase this beautiful work].
I'm no different from anyone else, poor people make me sick. Idle, smelly and desperate. You also are a poor person that has a serious "problem" with decent people that do indeed have money

What a jerk. Whoever it was should apologize.

I've been here just over four years, and it's well worth sticking around if you love MEGO. This place is full of wonderful, kind and thoughtful folks.

Don't let that one get to you.

Nick,

So sorry to hear that happened to you. That is a bunch of crap man! Don't leave this awesome site because of one bad apple in the bunch. I definitely enjoyed trading/dealing with you. I think you are a great person no matter what your financial situation may be.

I really don't know who on this site that would ever write such a horrible message to a fellow member. I find this very distasteful and disrespectful. Whoever wrote this to you for sure owes you an apologie and needs to grow up.

Lol, I can see that person really thinks highly of their fellow collectors here.

Idle, smelly and desperate.

I take great offense at that. I am NOT desperate and I don't smell that bad.

Who wrote it ?

IMO, you shouldn't start a thread like this and leave everyone hanging.

It really doesn't accomplish anything except making everyone paranoid.

If I were in your shoes I'd just tell him something like "That's really rude, just forget I asked" and walk away. Nothing is worth dealing with someone like that to me. If they kept messaging me after I'd report it to the mods because that would be annoying - but other then that I'd just avoid the dude from now on.

Maybe I'd blow off steam by starting a thread like this too.

From my experience that kind of thing happens - but it's very rare. Especially on here.

[DocDrako]

Wow. As a poor guy myself (though not on welfare, even though I have been once before) I find that offensive. But then, since I'm idle, smelly, & desperate, nobody really cares what I think anyways.

[Brazoo]

Does he really need to be outed? What he's saying is pretty dumb, rude and generally not cool, but is it against the rules?

[ctc]

Hmmmm....

So.... we can PM back to Dickensian England? 'Cos that's where it sounds like those responses are from. Weird....

Ultimately I think your best bet is to walk away. There's too much deep rootedness to sift through in a statement like that.

What he said might not be against the rules, but it would make bluebird sleep better at night knowing he had the last zinger.

I think it was D-Day that said ... "don't get mad get even"

Exactly.

[Brazoo]

Well, again if it were me I would just let it go - he lost a customer and he'll probably loose more the same way. Life is too short and that dude isn't going to get his mind changed anyway.

[Mikey]

I'm thinking it's probably some semi-newbee we don't even know.

[Brazoo]

Good chance of that I bet.
