    Default FYI

    Rick has a very good reputation with a number of my best friends, and I've personally met him also. He's good people as far as I know.



    By the way, I don't think it's real fair to act like stalkers to new people here on PL. If I had laser gear I wanted to sell before I was a member here, I probably would've posted it in the B/S/T area first off also...

    *You* would not let them? Did I miss the election where you were crowned king of the for-sale area?
    you are very new to our community,
    Ahem. Pot.Kettle.Black.

    Hi Rick;

    In fairness, it would be nice to see some photos of the unit, especially considering the 5 figure asking price. Though it is pretty cool that you're willing to sell it with the variance intact.

    On a completely unrelated note - have you seen the posts about the upcoming laser enthusiast's meeting on the west coast? LaserMan532 is hosting it. You might want to check it out... Some of your pals will be there, and the event is shaping up rather nicely. I won't be able to attend, as I'll be in Florida, but there will be quite a few people there, including many west coast laserists.

    WHO THE F#(k APPOINTED YOU god ? YOU STILL HAVE TOO MUCH TO LEARN. You don't get to judge a pro yet, in fact the only thing you get to comment on is safety when it comes to people who make their money doing this.

    That is a decent price considering I have a catalog on my bench for Medium Laser, with 5 watts at 22,000 EUROS without the projector.

    Keeperx Zip it and keep a lid on it for a few days, Your opinions and mouth are getting you close to a real spanking. Many of us here are tired of you coming here to pick fights and your anti industry mouth. I know, because I'm getting the PMs. You have admitted multiple times your specialty is starting debates and picking fights. That is great for junior high. But stop it for a while and grow up. If you want to debate, go join the local Toastmasters club.

    This nice fellow plays in the big leagues, and nobody forks over that kind of cash without a contract or at least seeing the unit, and you might have just reduced his chance at getting a sale. He also didn't spam us to death with pics. Good for him.
    His price is a starting point, and he will negotiate with a buyer.

    This economy will continue to die unless people start trusting each other, behaving, and spending money , think about that!

    Since he's pro and been doing this since 96, that bumps him out of newbie status PDQ.

    You could learn a heck of a lot from people with access to LFI technology and skills, so why don't you be quiet, set back, and enjoy the ride for a while and show up at SELEM ready to learn the physics and art. And go read some Miss Manners and Robert's Rules of Order before you get there.

    I'm pissed to say the least.

    wow.. i was just trying to get some more info out there about the guy, he was all out there in limbo and everyone was all over him for the lack of pics and info..

    so i found where the pics were hosted, put 2 and 2 together, and added some info about the guy..

    Buffo, i will not make excuses or apologize for being protective of people in this community..

    Maybe everyone in the friken forum needs to take a step back and READ before making snap decisions about what someone means when the post something...

    and Steve, read your PM.

    Yes, and no one had anything negative to say about your sleuthing on photobucket. It was your attitude that was in question. (As it has always been.)

    Your assertion that "I won't let anyone buy this sight-unseen", along with your admonishment to Rick that he was "very new to our community" (when you are also considered new to our community) makes it sound like you are the administrator and are speaking for the group. And if you are ever going to be bold enough to speak for the group, you'd better make sure you are right, or else you're going to get a reaction like you did above.

    Or maybe, just maybe, you need to realize that your posting style lends itself to these sorts of misunderstandings, and adjust your message accordingly. Your entire post smacks of hubris; don't you see that?

    Seriously, this *same* topic keeps coming up again and again. Haven't you figured it out yet?

    I hate forums... i am always misprecieved

    I said he was new because he had 2 posts at the time.. thats NEW..

    as far as me being new, how long will i be considered new? i Im in the top 20 http://www.photonlexicon.com/forums/...rt=posts&pp=25



    i said i would not let anyone buy that site unseen because its very expensive and his details were shotty at the time i was doing my best to point out the mistakes in the way he posted it and give everyone some more info about the guy..

    I was speaking on behalf of myself not for anyone else.. who is "The group"? and why wasn't i told about it?

    if you are referring to the community as a whole, i believe I used reasonable discretion in my comments.

    I hope that helps explain the post.

    Here is an idea.. if you think that someone is talking out of turn or just being an ASS, PM them and find out if that was the intention and then give them a chance to clarify..
    -------------EDIT-------------
    FYI sometimes i am just being an ASS
    but nobody ever seems to care about that.

    Which should be telling you something...

    Post count doesn't mean diddly. If it did, Pangolin, ILDA-Direct, Laser Wizard, and Clandestiny (all ILDA board executives) would be below you. So you're saying that just because you've posted more than them, that puts you on top? Please....

    As to when you will no longer be considered new, I don't really know. It's up to the community. I suppose it will depend more on your attitude than anything though. So far you are still acting like a new member - unsure of how to express yourself without causing conflict.
    i said i would not let anyone buy that site unseen because its very expensive and his details were shotty
    I'll ask you again - who put you in charge of other people's purchases? How is it that you thought you had the right to PREVENT someone from buying this?

    I agree his listing could have been better. And I don't think anyone would have had a problem with your post had you simply pointed out that the listing would be improved with more pictures (especially of the inside of the unit) and maybe asked the guy for a little background about both himself and the unit. Had you done that, we'd all be talking about his projector by now, instead of your attitude.
    if you think that someone is talking out of turn or just being an ASS, PM them and find out if that was the intention and then give them a chance to clarify..
    I know that several people have sent you PM's in the past about this topic, but so far you don't seem to be taking their advice, Alec.
    FYI sometimes i am just being an ASS
    but nobody ever seems to care about that.
    Actually, that is probably the root of the problem. Your posting style makes it difficult to tell when you're intentionally being an ass (sarcasm) and when you're just too arrogant to realize that you still sound like an ass - even if you don't mean to be.

    Anyway, PM sent.
