I see nothing has changed

Incognito1965 · Aug 23, 2010

I posted a ton on Beckett's boards. Not so much here. Took a couple years off and then decided to see what was going on amongst the collector world. Not surprisingly, I see the exact same types of complaints I always saw. I think it is silly to sit on a card that you don't want just because you expect an extra $10. I think it is silly to complain about sellers who do this. I thik it is silly to complain about bidders who "low ball". They are just baseball cards. Wouldn't it be nice if people made a concerted effort to treat others with respect instead of bad attitudes? I know...never gonna happen in the world of the internet. But one can't fault a man for hoping, right?

I know you just came on the boards, but it seems like we have one of these threads like every other day now.

If everyone agreed about everything. It would be one boring message board. I love the debates and hearing different bashing on subjects.

Since most of the members on beckett migrated here, it is not surprising that those traits followed. That said, the giving of the members and hobby knowledge also followed making this a great site to be on.

Great post.

With that being said, welcome back. This is a great place to stay informed about the hobby but, like everywhere else, you'll get your idiots. Small price to pay if you ask me, VIVA LA FCB!

FCB is light years ahead of BMB. Awesome mods, lax rules, common sense enforcement of rules, etc.

There are ********** and fight on every message board on the internet.

If you don't like it here, leave.

I think there's a little something for everyone here. Definitely a great knowledge base, but some of the 'rant' threads are okay just for an exchange of ideas or to blow off some steam.

Everyone complains about the 'silly' threads, but it's funny how many of those same posters can be found sounding off within those threads. As long as it doesn't get nasty, it seems fine to me.

I definitely agree that we can do without a bit more respect and a bit less bad attitudes, but all in all, I think this is a very respectful forum with good people. We all occasionally get irritable, but that's okay - we're only human.

In any case, I enjoyed reading your posts on the old BMB (I was a lurker). If you get bored enough, I hope we'll see you around here more.

That's the wrong attitude in my opinion. If you don't like it here, give it a chance and lead by example. If you still don't like it here after that, then explore other options.

I have never seen a post by Incognito that wasn't succinct and well-considered. That coming from someone who is typically on the other side of Incognito's political spectrum. Good to hear from you Incognito.

I hear you. The hobby is different when money is involved, I suppose its why people who don't sell generally tend to see the hobby a little differently than those who do.

If you seek the negative, you'll always find it.

Damn, someone should make a bumper sticker out of that.

Nice to see some of the old Beckett members :grouphug: Best regards, David

Just a suggestion, but if you think someone's out of line, specifically or across a bunch of posts, try sending a polite PM. Doesn't risk putting them on the defensive (or trying to make a joke to gloss over your post) by making a post on it. Not sure how effective it is, although I do it from time to time, and it certainly can't do anything to hurt.
