JAMAS- I too followed the thread from the beginning. I thought exactly the same way as you did about his ad...yeah, let's list it has a steering wheel too!
We've probably had 5-10 posts in the yr I've been on the forum of VXs for sale that didn't have a pic, and several people, me included, have jumped in and rather curtly pointed out that it's useless to list a VX without pics. I believe circmand has too. This is the exact same thing, his wording made the ad useless. There's even an icon that says that (and I think it was Kenny that posted it a while back). So we didn't really see anything wrong with your post.

To the point....brand new poster trying to sell a VX, immediately got vulgar and ugly after you posted something that was actually intended to help him. That's not how 99.99% of people would respond in that situation.

Why I stayed out of it, and possibly why a few others did too...just a few months back in a similar situation, I jumped in with both feet defending a member, only to have another member attack my personal physique...(gee, I thought we were all adults here?)....I fired back, and again got attacked. It was so ugly that Anita deleted most of the posts, thankfully.

Since the new poster showed what he was made of right out of the shoot, I think we all chose to stand down and let him flame out. He obviously didn't seem "to fit" with our group, in my opinion and we sure could predict how he would respond to any other posts from us. Maybe in hindsight, we should have posted something defending you, but please don't take it as us not caring about you. I really think we all just saw how vulgar/angry he was and 4x4UFO said it best, we didn't think he was worth the effort, knowing we'd just get more of the same. Clint did a great job of trying to steer it out of the gutter.

I do consider you a regular here and really want you to stay. Sure you're really po'd now, but think about what we've all said in these posts and try to see it from our point of view too. You're far more valuable than that newbie, as his actions have shown. Let it go....that's what I did.

p.s....dang it, how come I can't write shorter bits like everybody else?....sorry, it's that extra X chromosone, I'll keep trying!
