  1. also, thank you everyone for your welcome posts, i'm glad you are all nice and welcoming. Other blogs people tend to be very rude. So again, thanks for the hospitality! look forwards to discussing future blink/other vinyl releases with you all! 

     

    I surely can't wait for EOTS!! 

     

    Trust me, people on this forum can be just as rude as others if you come in here acting like an idiot. You seem like a nice, respectful person though, so welcome!

  2. I've followed this thread for a while and restrained comment. But other than a few stand up people on here the boards most of you are pretentious dicks. If you don't like what he has, leave the thread alone, but all you have done is bully this guy around because you don't like his records, or he is asking high prices which he said he would negotiate. If this is supposed to a community of collectors, that isn't the way to go about it.

     

    So there are...what...two people in this thread needlessly being dicks? And one of them is a very new user. That's significantly fewer than in the previous threads.

    You're generalizing an entire message board based on a few people being jerks. The thing I think you're forgetting is... this is the internet. Sometimes people are just jerks because they can get away with it.

     

    Everyone else has been...yeah, I guess somewhat mean, but it's more out of frustration than anything. 

     

    As for the pretentiousness of the board...even if a bunch of these people only collect pop-punk records*...it's still a group of record collectors, dude. Duh. Of course we're a little pretentious. 

    BUT. If someone scoffs at your price because it is too high, that isn't them being pretentious, it's them being realistic.

     

    And finally, bullying. No one is bullying him because they don't like his records. (Ok, maybe yanquiuxo is.) People are letting him know that his pricing is incorrect and that he's insane to expect what he was asking for in the other threads. This whole "don't bully people, whatever" that people are into lately is such a load of crap.  

    I got "bullied" as a kid, got beat up, picked on, etc. But you know what? That's what made me learn to grow up and stand up for myself. I get that sometimes bullying goes to far, but this is nothing. Kid needed to learn a lesson, and I think he is. I don't think he's quite there yet, but he's learning.

    *(For the record, I have no problem with collecting pop-punk. I have some for nostalgia myself and still genuinely enjoy old The Get Up Kids and Saves the Day stuff.)

  3. i WISH i could make some friends at work. sadly, everyone here is old enough to be my mom. the ones who aren't are guys who are attorneys and don't really 'socialize' with the support staff.  i DID have a good friend here, but she left in January because she's doing clinicals for nursing school.

     

     

    I made new friends when I moved to Portland and now the main one that kind of keeps my group together is moving, and my friend who moved out here after me is probably moving too. Making friends is HARD if you don't have people at work to be friends with.
