THR: Thicker than blood?

[The-Reaver]

I don't know any of you, you guys are just faces in the world of randoms.

And by some actions taken here I don't think this place is a " higher road " than any other.
I just milk this site for its information just like any other.

Well sure, but I can't say I poach other "randoms" deals either.

Taking the 5 minutes required to register on The High Road and then click on a verification link is not quite the criteria I hold for friends.

Someone has an account here. Whippitydo.
That doesn't make us friends any more than someone pulling up to a light beside me in traffic creates a friendship.

I have friends. I have integrity. But, if someone doesn't realize that this is a public forum where people of all types, socialized in a variety of ways, come to gather, then they'll learn a lesson the hard way.

 

[wheelgunslinger]

It's about loyalty and integrity.

loyalty to what?
I never swore loyalty to anyone or anything, including Oleg Volk, when I signed up.

 

[Mike1234567]

"Integrity" has nothing to do with "friendship".

 

[wheelgunslinger]

Sorry, I still don't see it as an integrity issue.
You've made your case and I've made my point. So, I'm gonna bid you adieu now.

 

[Mike1234567]

Agreed, sir, and no hard feelings on my side.

If you want it so bad you get upset when someone else buys it you should have snapped it up before telling everyone about it.

the important thing to remember is......this isnt kindergarten.....there are no "hold-sies"

someone is thinking about buying something......ok great...

but...since when did "im thinking about this gun" turn into "i called it first, so no one else bid on it!"


if your still thinking about buying it...when im ready to buy it.....well to bad for you.


its no different than if i were shopping for a TV....and theres a great deal, but only one left.....if i know i want to get the TV, but i see someone other people looking at it........im not going to wait for them to make up their minds before i buy it.

I'm done discussing this. It's impossible to make people understand what they choose not to. To nip responses to this post in the bud... same goes for me too. I cannot and will not ever see your side to this any more than you'll see mine. I agree to disagree.

What's the old adage? A woman is asked if she'd sleep with a man for one thousand dollars and she says, "Of course not!! What do you think I am?!". Asked again if she'd do it for one million dollars and she says, "Yes, that's a lot of money and I can swallow my pride for that". What does that make her?

I think it was more like...

"Would you sleep with me for a million dollars?"

"Well, yes, I suppose so."

"How about a hundred?"

"What kind of girl do you think I am?"

"We've already established that. Now we're just haggling over the price."

The question was hypothetical and unrealistic from the start. Look at the bottom of this page and see how many members and how many quests are watching at any time. It was 38 members and 187 visitors a minute ago.

Posting the details and location of a great deal on a forum is crazy.

Of course the posting on the internet of details of a great deal you are contemplating is crazy because there are always a few dirt-balls out there that will walk all over you to get it themselves. That wasn't the question posed in the opening post. The question posted was.....are YOU one of those dirt-balls?

To some degree or another 2/3 voted yes.

Probably not, but then again, I like to physically examine the merchandise before I buy.
