Seems you can't follow your own advice. Arrivederci.

Nephilim,
Thanks for your timely intervention, seems things were about to get personal. If my saying, "Stooping to calling people funny because they don't post to your liking doesn't say much for you totos" was too personal, then you have my apologies for getting too personal in a post.

If I appeared to be overly 'chatty', I was trying to be a good member. Rule 4 states:

Don't just ask questions and leave the forum after you've received an answer, try to contribute something as well.

Most of my posts were informative and an advisement for members to be smart consumers where buying media is concerned. Nephilim, one of the links I posted was from a post you made; very informative about media.

I didn't realize pointing out vendors self interest was venomous. Our Mr Yang should have read rule 12 which states:

Advertising via forum messages is strictly prohibited. If you need to advertise your products on our site, contact us via the feedback form and we'll negotiate an advertising contract with you/your company.

Not only does Mr Yang refer to his quality merchandise, he includes the link to his website in his signature section. Just a little advertisement every time he posts, irregardless of what he says, he is linking to a sales website where he stands to gain.

My biggest fantasy while posting is the dream that I may not be accosted in the process. ;) I had a mean old bull dog once that wouldn't let go of a bone for anything once it got a hold on it. I've seen some people like that. I try to be friendly and conversational with my posts and throw in a bit of common sense and sometimes humor, but there's always someone trying to kick me in the chops.

Getting back on focus here. Did you think the links that showed the media data were worthwhile sites to check out? The one that listed the various companies showed where a lot stand according to their 'track' record.

That part goes to the comment of Brobear:

- Totos,
By the way, posting into Mr Yang's promotions can be something of a dubious honor.

If Brobear has something in personal with Mr. Yang let him solve theit problem with each other. And NOT OFFENDING people because they give their time and feedback to contribute to this community.

So Nephilm dont say me to drop it, because I never offended anyone. I just give my feedback and try to contribute as much as possible to this forum.

I just protected myself against all these non-sense insults made by bbear regarding myself.

You'll drop it or you'll get banned. There's no need for you to have the last word because a moderator has already had it. If you have a problem with another user you can either work it out via PM or report them to the mods.

To all of those that feel somehow slighted or insulted. Ask yourselves a simple question. Is there anything being discussed here that is worth all this tension? My advice would be, if you can't say yes to the statement I just made then perhaps you should unsubscribe to this thread.

I love this forum brobear I have only just seen your posts. But is has to be said my friend you are the man.

I have been saying for ages that a certain trader on this forum as been getting away with free addy's without paying and claiming he has no vested interest then back peddling when he sell's media that he slated 2 month prior to selling himself.

:.)

Nice job moderators

Your observation of brobears points are correct and its about time that somone said what many of us already knew, that someone was getting some free press at the expense of the forum and its members.

I'm certain that this won't continue now that the pandora's box has been opened.

So an instant ban for anybody who mentions where disks are bought or any special offers then.

Excellent.

Did someone mention a ban let alone an instant one? If you know where there's a good price on media post it, I have several times for good prices that I found on newegg.com. The difference here is when someone does it for their own financial gain.

Sorry I wasn't saying that there was!

With regard to Mr.Yang, I'm not aware of him slagging off media then selling it so I won't go into that but he does have his company name on his signature because he doesn't like to hide behind an anonymous UserID.

Mr. Wang could tell us who he is without providing links to his business site.

I suppose!

Maybe it should be down to the Moderators to decide.

Agreed it will be the moderators who decide. I wouldn't recommend banning Mr. Wang but I would ask him to remove his link to his business site.
