I wonder if the OP remembers posts in the old PayPal debacle days and someone's undying support for it and what was said and posted etc.. Wasnt there some name calling and abuse in them days........ Terrible it was, lots of pack attacksand abuse and name calling from the main supporter of paypal only......... lots of google websites were started and lots of past abuse and name calling over that one and posted on websites..

All because people had a different view or opinion to being forced to use PayPal only..... Terrible days and terrible abuse and so glad to see the end of that abuse and name calling

and even the old roundtable days..... Who remembers them and the queen..... if you didnt agree with someone who was very active in the old RT days she had friends... Totally terrible the abuse in them old days on here and on the old roundtable...

Dont miss it at all and the abusive pack attacks back in them days..... Terrible times like the wild west it was.... So glad we have these new mods who keep it all in check and are very active..... Thank you MODS....

Wasnt there an old poster called Bruce who was a massive supporter of the main person who wanted and supported Paypal only and he has a zillion ID's to post with and attack and abuse with on here?

Dont miss them abusive days at all......

I was right about paypal, how many people go on about it anymore?

I am just brave nero

If bank deposit was the leader today it might take me a week to process daily orders 🙂

Why the personal attacks?

I have read posts by sellers complaining over reduced sales and the greater % of them are PP only who will not entertain

that there are more than a few like myself who do not use it & will not consider that it does result in missed sales.

Hope All have a Happy New Year.

i notice some do it to elicit a response in hope of a report to try and get them banned

seems to be a game to them, and whats seems odd to me is fun for them!

Sometimes it could be easy to forget that IDs are real people, and what is an intense discussion for one person, can be hurtful agression to another...just my thoughts. I try to post with courtesy and an open mind.

IMO it is because they have neither the wit nor the ability to

carry on the ~~argument~~ conversation enough to get their point across

I think we all have posted the odd "dig" to another ID but there have been some who, by means of long, scrolling often red font or what ever, have sought to intimidate and make others feel small and insignificant all the while coming across to gentler souls as a bully and egotist. One in particular springs to mind who I haven't seen posting for a while now. Let's say he/she had a style of posting like the above-mentioned. No loss that's for sure.

I think we've all done it at some time or another.

If you are referring to the coloured, intrusive font etc - no, only a few IDs posted/post in that manner that I've seen anyway. Must frighten off new, inexperienced posters but then again that's probably the gameplan.
