I think he should be banned and that's it.

I disagree; mainly because if you get sacked for being a d-bag, it's only a matter of time before I'm out. I like everyone here and love the posts--you're all interesting, cool folks--but I'm telling you, as sure as the Sun will rise tomorrow, I'm going to say the wrong thing at some point.

In fact, let me just go ahead and apologize in advance.

Or they send the bad eggs to Australia ('cause y'know... Former penal colony)

I say this with a fond nod to my dear old Dad, who came from The land down under and always regaled me with his literal Big Fish stories of reeling in Sharks and boxing kangaroos.

You realize why they established Botany Bay as a penal colony, don't you?

The original penal colony (or should I say "colonies" -- all 13 of them) for British n'er do wells had a revolution and severed ties with Britannia, the mother country. They didn't send too many of them up here to Canada. That was reserved for the indentured servants of the Hudson's Bay Company.

I agree, though, the guy should apologize. Like torgospizza says, we all have moments when we can be d-bags, and mego*** had his moment in his PM to Bluebird.

I'm surprised he's from Australia ... meaning EVERYONE I ever met from Australia has been super-duper crazy nice.

But, I guess all countries have a few bad eggs

You think?

This guy you speak of is from Ceti Alpha 6? I thought you said he was from Austrailia?

Weirdly, the tone of that message sounds like a very particular person who used to haunt this board. He would use phrases like "dumpster diver" and "serious collector" and would have weird blog issues on here. One week he would opine at length how reproduction pieces were destroying the vintage toy market and then the next week how well the vintage toy market was doing due to various factors. When I called him on that particular paradox, he did reply that I no longer had permission to address him directly.

In defense of Australia, your women are quite amazing.

I for one welcome our new wealthy Australian overlords and Supermodels.

FYI, it took me about two seconds to find who you were talking about by doing a Google search on the Museum for that phrase.

I've never heard of that member, probably because they've only been here two months. He sounds like a real jerk, though; people who lord over those who make less money than they do have no class and no manners.

lol yeah , i found him pretty quick, never heard of his *** either..man I would've let him have it , but that's just me

[toys2cool]

I can't believe I had missed this thread, no one deserves to be talked to like that...I don't think he should be banned, but he should be put in his place by the mods...Let him know he's not special or better then anyone else

Our rule shall be firm, perhaps even harsh... but fair

[torgospizza]

It's like he wants people to treat him like these guys.

And that's more than we deserve, Mr. Murdoch!

I say stupid stuff sometimes but that was just plain mean spirited! No place for behavior like that on this board. There are more kind people here then most every other board I have ever been to. Fortunately the voice of one does not speak for all of us.



These are toys. Expensive at times but still just toys. This is not a hobby that needs elitists. I would guess that this person has done more damage to them self here then banning them would have done. What a jerk!

If someone told me I no longer had "permission" to address them directly I would have been in big trouble for all the fun I would have had messing with them.
