I knew this one would be worth looking at when I saw that the title is actually cut off in mid-thought.

Hint to OP: that's usually not good.

I think the OP is enjoying some Popcorn too...

*nods*. Seems to have done a pretty good job on that, alas.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen a seller feel, rightly-or-wrongly, that they've been "attacked" and do a deal elsewhere off eBay when there are other personal circumstances in the mix.
Would hope that we'd be careful about needlessly throwing around such words as "fraud" unless 100% certain of that first, though. And if there are other approaches open such as bid retraction to use those first...

This eBay seller is not "shady" if all of this is in fact true... she is insufferably dim...

Was more than happy to be tarred with at least part of that "insufferably dim" brush having made the same "research into the minutiae" check failure in the past and, yeah, they could've sucked up to that when they were back online. *shrugs* Can't see through their eyes, though.
Having observed much worse on a regular basis on eBay and knowing what has gone on behind the scenes elsewhere, perhaps I've shifted those "shady" goalposts?

Even with 11 pounds of padding and a M-Bag?

Chat's open 24/7 if people want to duke it out.  Oh, and 4E sucks.  May as well get that into the mix while we're at it.

And yes, I am an old F'cker like you, but being that our country has over 300 million people, and the UK has about 1/4th, I'd say the chances of people inbreeding would be on your side of the pond.   Nice to have you in this discussion, but it has to be getting past your bed time.

Lovely post.
You don't seem to have quite grasped the order in which I placed the words in my sentence. Because if you read it, you will remember from school/juvenile detention that the order in which the words are arranged dictates the meaning of the words.

But then, having read your response, and your attempt to place similar words together into a sentence, I am guessing you didn't quite manage to get through school, and the education in juvenile detention is not good, is it?

Tip: There is more to writing than just lining the words up in a row so they look pretty.

On the subject of inbreeding, we may well have less of a population than you do in the US. The thing is, inbreeding tends to be the result of poor education, and lack of opportunity, and in light of your quite definite lack of education (and presumably your parent's own inability to help out in that regard), your general social awkwardness even online (where, let's face it, anyone can get find a partner); I would suggest that, if anyone is going to have no option but to breed with their own family, it is likely to be you.

Tip: Wash, clean your teeth, learn to stretch your face (it's called smiling). Learn to talk in words longer than two syllables (look that one up in a dictionary, that book you were given that you've never looked at). Then either come back here and post something in coherent English, or, God forbid, go and try out your new found skills on the girls of Rednecksville. Maybe one of them is not your cousin.  

In the meantime, eat cake.

Yeah. But it's fun winding these idiots up and seeing how mad you can get them. They introduce a little humour to our day. These guys were the 'backup jocks', you know, the hangers on male jock groupies in highschool who used to pick on the geeks when they were in groups, and now they're having problems getting through life with their untrained brains and their inability to survive in the workplace. We need them to troll the board from time to time so we can pick on them.

Crap, now I may never find out who that Aenoth fellow is....

And Mike
Worry not, there will be others.

Y'know what's more fun than this thread?  The thread about the distance between the stitches on various early printings.

I Found Who It Is!!!!!!

Need translating, looks like it is in Couglish

Kosh

And to get slightly OT, why do so many Americans consider military service to automatically entitle one to a sterling reputation and immunity to any questions considering their motives or honesty?  "Such and such was in the army you know . . ."  So was Timothy McVeigh . . .  Sheesh!

So was George Washington! Yeah, I know your reply already...
I think it's a math game, to answer your BS question above. More dirtbags are weeded out of say Basic Training, AIT, Active Duty versus say your typical HS dropouts or what have you. Just a #s situation.
That being said!!! I have yet to read some super lame (I should say SUPER DUPER LAME), "My wife left me, lost my job, need to drop out of the hobby, PUHLEAZE FEEL SORRY FOR ME" sort of thread ever written by a veteran/active duty service member on one of these D&D hobby sites. How about you

Love this thread!!
