I think the initial rationale was that most acceptable self-promoters are active members of the forum, but I also think it's a classic case of VC bandwagoning on the first opinion posted in the thread for laughs Edited December 1, 2016 by DOMAN127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE_James_Champ Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yeah, jumped on, attacked, laughed at, humiliated into deleting his self promotion, it's all the same! jerseypride 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 While I don't condone bullying (though I'm not sure this qualifies), if you're going to post stuff on the internet you need to have a thick skin. Especially when you post it somewhere that's not specifically for the thing you're posting. @Le Mythe de Sisyphe, post that shit. I enjoy a good short story.

THE_James_Champ Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Lol, I get what you're saying. I think the fact it's the "everything else" board doesn't mean it still has to be vinyl related. What do I know, I'm just some schmuck. 28 minutes ago, daegor said: @Le Mythe de Sisyphe, post that shit. I enjoy a good short story. also, it was a link to purchase a book he wrote.

For all the inane stuff that gets posted on here, kind of silly to say the post was poor etiquette. THE_James_Champ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Oh, it definitely wasn't poor etiquette. Totally was okay for him to self-promote on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 (edited) The first response seemed like good natured ribbing toward a user who isn't super active all of a sudden posting self-promotion. It was OP's response to that post which started the trouble as I see it. If he'd just taken it in stride rather than being kind of a turd I don't think people would have piled on so much. I was originally going to look into his book, but after seeing how he acted and how poor his writing skills seem to be just in the context of this thread I'm out.
