WTF Is Wrong With Some Of You People?!?!

Could you please take this up in private with whichever members you have an issue with? This forum is publicly accessible, and just reflects negatively on all of us.

Also, I find it extremely offensive that you describe the forums as having "turned into a bunch of *******s". You cannot just throw out such a sweeping generalisation about a community that you obviously used to be fond of.

You're right. I should do pms. I didn't really think about this being open publicly, my bad. And I'm still fond of the forum, and not everybody on here is an *******! I guess what I should have said was there are several guys on here acting like extreme jerks to new guys and gals! And it really seems like every time a new member shows up, they want too go Rambo on em! Just makes no sense! Look at Dann and Brent and Jamie and Del...3 guys with arguably the sickest collections around, and never, do they down play others items for sale or anything!!! Unless it's fake of course!!! Anyway, I'll continue this via pms to hearno! sorry of I offended anyone!! Unless of course I meant too!
 
I am a member on quite a few forums and whenever they grow it looses that "family" feel. I do not post a lot here as i do not buy as frequently or have as many glasses of many of these members, but I read just about every thread and when I see a collection that i like I say so, that is why I would recommend a time limit as a member instead of post count. Because i guess someone could describe my posts as "BS" also.

I remember when i used to check this forum and there wasnt a full page on the new threads page of new threads. It is great to see it has grown but you also get new members, it seems everyone seems to forget that we were knew once also! no one is perfect and we all make mistakes. Granted the guy who wanted the sell the OTT's should have just stuck to ebay instead of coming here since he didnt have the interest in Oakleys which is what the forum is for.

Also this thread has turned out to be far worse than the other thread, I really do not care to see two people bicker back and forth. It makes the whole site look bad. We are all here for the same reason, we like Oakley, it is amazing that all of us can bond over one thing! but there are also enemies formed and that just isnt needed.
 
I'm sure this thread has not gone the direction Walkerhonda intended, but there were some good points made. Never like to see things like this get out of hand but I think Adam made his point and I agree!
 
Since there really wasn't any room for discussion on this, and the 'member' has clearly moved on...

Anyone else think the OTT guy was trying to move hot merchandise?

Who has a brother who picks them up a set of OTT when they have zero interest in glasses and Oakley, then tries to dump them immediately for insane price drops over the course of three hours? He HAD to move those PRONTO. Yeah, some people stepped over the line, including the stranger who broke just about every rule, including bumping his thread in 15 minute increments, but the whole story and way he conducted his little sale (with corresponding eBay price drops?) just sounds mighty fishy.

Was it someone here who made the deal?



EDIT: Oh yes, some advise to those who wish to hear it; Write your whole post, every word you want to say, then read it, and delete it if you think any part of it doesn't sound like something you'd want your mother to hear. I'd probably have 2-3 times as many posts if I removed the stupid filter and let every keystroke get posted onto the forums. I'd also probably sound really foolish in most of them.
 
I was about the pull the trigger....but then when I went to check them on FleaBay...they were gone.

Yeah, if he kept dropping the price I was tempted to jump in under $200, that's the only way I'd end up with an OTT. It's a good chunk of money but I don't go to the casino, I do my gambling on forum commerce sections and eBay! :laugh:
