I don't like the scalping. I think it hurts us all. And I understand Steve wants none of it. But there are these "awesome Patriots" that think it is anti-capitalist to complain about pricing. They're hypocritical jack wagons!

I reread your comment, makes sense now.
 
I understand this is Steve's site and continue to do what you want Steve. I love it here. I wouldn't be a supporter if I didn't.

But to you "free market Capitalist" types I have one question: Do you ever complain about the prices of other things (food, gas)? "Capitalism is all about complaining. Some people on here know that I have a business. And I know others do as well. Do people complain about prices? Um, yeah. And I would bet some people lower their prices just to get business.

So if you think complaining about prices is "anti-capitalist obamanomic Socialism" you're the idiots. Get out of the cubicle and start your own business and see if you have to deal with price complaints. Or is half your customer base "anti-capitalist obamanomic Socialists" (I'm sure some think so. They just don't see it in themselves when they ***** about the price of gas)?

I guess I am one of the "free market Capitalist" types, but I dont like to be defined as such. However, I will answer your question, yes I complain about food, gas, and just about everything. I have owned a business, owned one for 15 years, closed it and moved on to something else. I believe you should complain about prices and I dont call anyone a socialist because he/she does. What I find disturbing is that members, members I like and trust, find it necessary to post negative comments in another members ad. Not trying to stop the complaining about prices, just stop thinking you should be telling other people what they should or should not do. This thread is not about Captialism, Socialism or obamaism, it is about following the rules of this site. Either you do, or you don't. Your choice, your decision. Just as in life, there are consequences for your decisions. I may just be the idiot that you describe, but I will follow the rules of this site because I like being here. I don't feel like an infraction is a "badge of honor". I think it implies an inability to understand the rules, or a blatant disregard for them. If it is an inability to understand, that can be corrected. If it is a blatant disregard for the rules, fine, I will not have to worry about it, they will be gone.
 
I guess where I come down on all this is gun show behavior. At a gun show, if a guy at the table has a used Glock listed for $700, I chuckle to myself and walk away. I'm not going to stand in the aisle and shout out to everyone that walks by what a "gouger" this guy is or point out other tables were it can be had for less...besides if someone else is willing to pay that for it, good for both of them I guess. Same thing here, if you don't like it, move on.
 
Maybe put.the option for the poster.to select to allow commenting or be able to disable comnting. If the poster allows commenting, then no need to clean the thread.

I would ask the guy at the table if that was MSRP or his price. Then I would wish him GLWS. Just like on the ODT. I like being consistent.
