Second, would you please use punctuation? I have no idea if you raised any good points because your lack of punctuation makes you seem like an ***** so I gave up reading it and went on to the other posts I could actually read.
I agree...

My first reaction is to say this is a generational thing, kids today and all that but that would be wrong. I've met some smart and gracious people of all ages in this hobby. I think it's just a complainer thing, some people just don't want to take responsibility for their actions, maybe its a result of the everyone's a winner way of raising kids, maybe not. If you want respect, earn it, goes for all ages but I think SOME younger folk just don't get it and this is a perfect illustration. In life you don't always win, learn from your failures and don't repeat them and for God's sake don't point your finger at everyone else.

We ain't as dumb as we might seem and we seem to have seen right through this situation. And did you notice that no one attacked you personally nor has the thread been locked as your petulant persecuted persona projected. You reap what you sow.

if all the older generation that have been doing this along time don't treaty the newbies with a tad bit of respect this hobby will die I check in on OG gas daily, but as a fairly new member I do not post much. I do not have the knowledge of veteran old gassers, but I listen & learn. After reading this post, I will say this-- I have never been disrespected by any member of this site. Everyone I have had contact/business with has been very helpful/courteous/professional. A big thanks to Jim Potts & everyone else who helps keep this site going.

I post a little here and there. For the most part I just read a lot. I have been lucky enough to meet several old gassers and I find that young and old everyone seems to have a good attitude. I would like to also thank Jim for the site and the things I've learned to here. It's to bad you had a bad experience but if I was as dissatisfied as you I'm sure that I would probably leave never to darken the door again.

It's your responsibility as the seller that the buyer get's his item. Insure it. If it gets lost you get your money back. If not insured, and the seller does not receive his item, give him his money back(your loss). And yes they have signature confirmation so you know the item does not get stolen off the front porch as well. Take it as a learning experience and pay the customer back. Learn from your mistake(s). As for the record, I am not a jerk! Most people like to call me an ***hole!

why is it almost everyone in this hobby is a jerk I'm not looking for conflict From the title of your thread, I think you have been treated fairly and have been given some good advice, despite insulting your entire audience. It is your responsibility to ensure what you sold gets delivered.

Are all blacks bad because 1 robbed a bank? NO! If you sent the guys 25 dollar item, show receipt and prove it! If you cant prove it then REFUND it and move on in life! Like YOU said, Its ONLY 25 bucks! You have admitted you are in the wrong, THATS the first step in rehabilitation! I have talked to you a couple times and you seem like a great guy! Everyone has made mistakes, big and small, But it's ALL ABOUT how you handle the mistake...Good Luck!
