Kids, you can't take em anywhere!!!

Was the question about what individuals typically have deletions and suspensions and partial Bans on threads like this over the years? That's easy - there are only a few. ^&grin

And the guilty are *****, ***, *******, ********, *************, ****************, ********* {eek3}

Now that you mention it I am sure it is just a co-incidence that the first bunch of stars has five.

You'll of course be aware that the first Aussie Rules premiership match to kick off outside of Australia, played in the 'Cake-Tin', in our glorious capital Wellington last week........and I must say a fear few Kiwi's popped along to enjoy the action....not that most had any idea what on earth was going on^&grin

Legend.

You say if I have spent a truck load of money on one brand and someone critiques it then, its only natural to be defensive. Can you answer me how it seems natural to you???

The person spending the boat load enjoys the product will continue buying won't they regardless of someone saying X is not right or Y is the wrong colour as its their personal like. I find nothing natural in someone going barmy because someone says they dislike a small metal figure or plastic or polystone tank. Just because that type of behaviour is accepted in a toy soldier forum/world by some does not automatically mean its natural, normal or acceptable.

I think you raised an interesting subject as its been at the crux of issues on this forum which have caused many arguments and seen people being banned so, while we focus on the ''what we buy'' it actually gets to the character and personality with all the weaknesses and strengths of the individual who is collecting brand A or Brand B. How they react is more an indication of character strength or weakness from them.

Obviously, nobody really likes to think they have anger/violence issues or a weak character so, they displace blame for that on to the individual/s who attack (in their mind) what they see as perfection in their product and, that is base for arguments and everything that goes with it.

I see a shift in the way the majority accept other people's opinions on what they like and dislike and they accept and want to know the warts and all so, to speak of the products at the prices they are now at. I looked back at a few similar threads like this over the years and everyone bar none I found ended in deletions probably infractions and the rest. That is also rather illuminating.

G'day Mitch.......I'm afraid you completely lost me after your first sentence and for the sake of world peace, I'm not even going to try and answer your question, because as far as I'm concerned and no offence, it's self explanatory. If you don't get it, then you don't get it......for me it's that simple and I'm ok with that. No probs.

Moving along.....as I stated in my original post this is a contentious issue so I would expect some disagreement/debate etc, etc and I can assure you the Mods are watching this Thread closely to make sure it remains 'civil'. That's not to say folks can't have a laugh and a giggle along the way{sm4}heaven forbid.

For the record, I have zero interest in resurrecting past grievances what-ever they were........most of which occurred long before I became a member anyway and I simply don't understand this historic problem you keep eluding to.

So lets move on shall we and get back to the topic in hand and get back to enjoying the hobby.......it's worth a try.

Regards Toddy.

Mitch,

When I see five *'s my brain does not actually have to count them. It automatically recognises that there are five.

As regards your comment "with just a BA" I take it that is a reference to attending University. Not sure where you got that idea as I did not. I went straight from school to joining the Royal Hong Kong Police as an Inspector at 18 (youngest ever). I came 2nd in a class of 14 which included former UK Police and University Graduates all of whom were at least 5 years older than me.

I am hoping your use of the word "just" is not you trying to imply that you have a higher qualification than a BA. If you do have something higher than a BA then I am also stunned. Anybody who has read your posts can see there are issues with commas, full stops, paragraphs and sentences that often do not make sense. I think my school did a better job in this respect than any University you might have attended.

Now if you don't mind I will dis-engage from this thread as we all know you will continue ad nauseam. Besides Brad has probably run out of
popcorn and Todd might think it is some sort of ping pong event.

Too early for popcorn but like Toddy I may need to go see an orthopedist for my neck as it moves back and forth on the serves and returns {eek3}

Question is how does a perfectly good thread end up like this??? Funny thing, we spend our lives eating what we want, driving what we want, listening to what we want and never feel the need to explain or care what others may think, yet when it comes to TS we think we have to explain? Must say I've never cared one iota if someone says they don't like what I collect, why would it, I'm not asking them to collect it !!:rolleyes2:

I have always pictured you driving a mini with a Union Jack painted on the bonnet - not that there is anything wrong with that!
