Exactly, which is precisely why I started this conversation. There's not rule violation, merely a social code that some feel is important (but Schu and I do not).

Like who here has legitimately lost a sale because of thread banter? No way to tell. I list speaker x for 10 dollars and you come along and say that they sell all day long for 5 dollars on e-bay. I have no issue with banter, that should be obvious but we're talking about pricing talk leading to personal attacks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is the offender: The guy questioning a seller's price? The guy lashing out irrationaly because someone publicly questioned his price?

Thaddeus Smith Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I haven't split hairs in a while and this is the kind of nagging annoyance over which I usually just roll my eyes. But today, it's important for some reason. Maybe because I like Schu more than the guy whose post history is dominated by FS threads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 As far as I'm concerned nothing should be off limits BUT there are certain things that seem to set people off. Guns, politics, religion, pricing, etc. The topics stir emotions and many members can't keep their emotions in check. When that happens ad hominems happen and things get hidden or locked.

oldtimer Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 The polite thing to do is pm instead of bm in the thread. Of course, some people never check nor respond to pm's, possibly because they know how wrong they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emile Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 OK; it's 5pm ... everyone have a glass of wine and relax (or should I say "chill") I personally have no problems with discussing pricing on this forum ... but yes; does not justify any "attacks." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
