For the  OP,   As this matter is still affecting you after such a period of time, you really need to learn how to live.

I'd like to point out that the OP hasn't read any of these replies.

They posted the OP and have not returned.

Probably just to vent.

She "might" have read without being logged in, but decided not to reply (or to log in to reply).

Reply: Welcome back old friend! 🌴🌴🌴 🍸

 

You're mistaken. I didn't mean that. I mean, I never said that! When I said . . . .  . . . .  "Sadly though there are some things that you don't see due to being elswhere",  I was referring to the fact that springyzone isn't always in the forum. There are posts she doesn't get to see. She has a life obviously and even though one of our regulars, she would miss a few that I have seen.  I have a great amount of respect for her as she is very even minded, educated and intelligent. She's helpful and she should be regarded a role model to some other folks here. Even chameleon54 the other day commented on her being very well-balanced. Sometimes though, on certain issues, we disagree. That's just the way it is.

 

Oh and I didn't say "keyboard warriors" . They wouldn't be that ... even.

 

Quote: " Are you saying she's a nutter because she's "elsewhere"? " , how can this be? Being in another forum and not getting a chance to go though every post or thread doesn't make her a nutter! It just makes her being in one place but not another.

 

Quote: " I would listen to Springyzone's advice before yours. At least she has a grip on real life." Hey, you might have a point there. If we were to write out a list of helpful things, tips and hints on life and political things etc., I'd say springyzone may  would have  a few more than me. I in fact may "listen to Springyzone's advice before " my own in some circumstances.

Enough with the "old". I'm 27 years old (28 next January. The 4th if you really want to know for certain), so in my opinion, far from being old. If I am old at 27, you must be pretty much dead at your age. 

I stand by my statement. I will take notice of Springyzone before I take notice of your bullying posts.

PS: I'm not your friend. I don't have friends in this forum. I respect the other members, but they aren't my friend. You are certainly not. Far from it. You may think yourself being pretty cool by reposting large amounts of text that others have posted, that is meaningless, or highlighting certain letters in your posts, but it doesn't blow my skirt up. I personally find that to be extremely childish and petty.

Happy day to you. Go get a 5G in your covid vax and do us all a favour.

Just in case I forget happy birthday for next year

That's a birthday I will be unlikely to forget.

It's also my father's birthday - the main difference being that he will turn 98 next year.  😁

So you were born on his 70th birthday.

So, I will agree with you, 27 isn't quite ancient yet.    Can I call you my very young not at all friend? 😆

4channel writes, LOL you haven't changed. You've still got that same pizazz. *WINK*  Ayway, I have to respectfully disagree what you say.

Now, I came on this thread as I do feel that this OP buyingandsellingmandy had a point. She was quite upset and to be truthful, I saw validity in what she said. She's just a small seller trying to make a go of things. As a buyer she struck a very difficult situation. Whether she followed advice or didn't I think is immaterial.

I've gone back and had a bit of a breeze through on the posts from the original thread. What I can see is someone who is quite possibly a good natured individual who at worst may not handle some difficult and frustrating situations that well. Perhaps in time she'll cope better. I take note of the advice that springyzone gave her. No surprise there. It was evenly presented and well thought out.

You might be right about me being childish and petty. A former girlfriend said I was when I got jealous over some other guy who kept on giving her the eye. I wanted to grab him by the scruff of the neck.

You've said a lot of kind things about me, 4channel, but the thing is, I am not the most knowledgeable person on the forum by any stretch.
There are others on here who are professional sellers so they are going to have a lot of facts at their fingertips.

I haven't sold in years.

I do think at some stage Mandy may come back to read replies. It's not a given. She was obviously very rattled last year by her entry onto the board and may elect to avoid reading any replies. Perhaps it was a quick foray in just to say her piece.

Then again, she may at least read, even if she doesn't log in as such.

If so, I think the main thing to take from this forum is that most questions will be answered. So look for the practical nuggets of advice even if they are couched sometimes in a blunt or abrupt way. 

Well there may be some folk that know a bit more about the complex workings of eBay and a bit more here and there due to the knowledge that comes with selling.  I've seen you deal with some folks and having to come back and re-explain things or extend more on what you've said to further clarify due to a lack of perception ability of the person with the issue.

I've had discussions with you myself where we have different views, even where we're at polar opposites on what may be a solution to a world-wide problem. I've never seen you be discourteous to anyone. You've always maintained that degree of fairness and courtesy. And if you've ever gotten angry or frustrated with someone due to them being silly, I've never seen that displayed in your posts anywhere. Good eBay member and contributor, chameleon54 noted your being well-balanced on a recent thread in Community Spirit. I think that your approach to helping others in the Buying forum could be looked at as a very good example of doing things right!

I agree with what you said about Springyzone. I really enjoy reading her replies to people. Very thorough and very down to earth.  I have to ask though, what is Community Spirit?
