Hi all,
I had no intention of posting on this forum again but feel that I should clear a few things up, my final words so to speak.
First of all, the cheapskate mentality of this forum community has been bugging me for a long while now. Jeremy calling out Chad over $10 was just the straw that broke the camels back. Everyone wants something for nothing it seems. In my mind this is absurd. I’ve grown tired of the following:
• Members snooping around to find out what a person bought a card for and then calling them out (made worse by the fact that they have no genuine interest in buying the card).
• Members posting up links to genuine high-end eBay sales and ridiculing the purchaser (e.g., nice card but what sort of loser would waste that much on a piece of card-board etc).
• Members posting up links to inflated eBay sales and accusing the seller of being a rip-off merchant and the buyer of being stupid.
• Members expecting others to provide a premium postage service yet bitching if the fellow member charges an extra $1.50 on top for their inconvenience of posting the item.
• Members trying to negotiate price on stated non-negotiable prices.
As for the “apologyâ€â€¦
I don’t dislike Jeremy (I don’t know the guy from a bar of soap), I dislike his forum behaviour. My intention was not to humiliate the guy, but rather to have him banned. Before being taken down, the poll was 8-4 in favour of this so obviously I wasn’t the only one who felt this way. Granted it wasn’t the ideal way of going about things but given the non-existent/incompetent moderation, I felt that it was necessary.
Anyhow, enough from me, I’ll go quietly into the darkness now ïŠ
I don’t have any cards left to trade anyway and clearly my trading views differ from everyone on this forum, so I don’t have much to contribute.
I would like to thank my mum and thumbboy. Tighties, one of these days I’m going to make you a woman.
Ya’ll who know me have my email.
Peace out.

To all on ozcards who have been offended by my words,
i apologise for resorting to physical threats of violence against a fellow member. i realise that was an unacceptable course of action, and one that will never be taken by myself again on these boards. however, im sure fellow members would be equally angry as i was when a fellow member tries to humiliate you in public like that. i should have left it in the hands of the moderators to sort out though, and this is what i will do in the future should something like this occur again.
Im sorry if i have intimidated and/or offended anyone, or made Ozcards a less enjoyable place to visit, I dont want this place to end up like the Beckett boards just as much as you guys. i guess both JJ and myself handled our dislike for each other in a childish way, im mature enough to admit i was wrong though. thats about all i can say on the matter, so once again my apologies.
Sincerely,
Shane Warne aka JZA
