Feelings About Canadian PS Board

Just a simple little question for the few Canadian PS's that are here. I frequent both the dot com and dot ca boards. I have come to the conclusion that sometimes I need a break from the bickering that goes on at dot com and come here for peace and quiet. So far this board has been a real pleasure to read and helpful. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate the dot com board at times as it can be very informative but there are limits to how far people should go with the bickering. In the long run I am hoping this board does not go by the wayside as the other board seems to do at times. I am also hoping this board grows in size eventually. So I guess my question is, how do you feel about this. Please remember I am not putting the Americans down. I'll be interested in knowing your feelings.

I'm going to bump this back up and say "hello". Just got PS back after my long summer vacation. I think this board is awesome and a chance for Canadians to chat about issues that are really important to us. Alot of the stuff on the .com board isn't that relevant. And I agree with FTD being a jerk. I'm amazed at his/her arrogance! Glad we have a freindly polite baord to come to--not that I'm going to not read the .com one too!! I missed the debute of this board, but I expect to be a regular poster here! I'm glad there are a few regulars here already! Glori

Glo -
~Alot of the stuff on the .com board isn't that relevant~.

That is putting it mildly. I see an abundance of narrowminded, egotistical, intolerant people who are more interested in self-promotion that they are being human. When as issue is debated, there is no patience for the other guy's opinion. They post their ideas like their thoughts are the only ones that matter. It's actually rather comical to watch. They are cliquish and protective of their cliques.

I have found that the Canadian PS board is much more ebay oriented, as opposed to 'personal' oriented which is what it is intended for.

I like everybody here. I haven't met an unkind or ignorant person yet. Hopefully it'll stay that way. People are kind, considerate and helpful. But more importantly...they have an awesome wit. That I love. I hope you enjoy your time on this board, Glo!!!

Treasure - I read about that in the New England Journal of Medicine. They went on at length about the irregularity of the pathology of chronic wit as it pertains to the condition of one's perspicacity. They profiled it in detail specifically regarding the correlation between one's wit and one's sanity and discovered that the amputation of one's sanity was by far less prohibitive than that of one's wit. Also, the recoup time was shorter and less obsequious. But...they never mentioned you name.

Shaboom shaboom :))))))

Hi guys I love the fact that we can comment and not get kicked in the butt for our feelings about certain aspects of ebay.com and ebay.ca

Not on this meassage board but on this one , what would you say if you could speak to Pinks about how to improve ebay.ca . However would you improve sales , and get more Canadian's informed about not ebay.com but ebay.ca

Well I've done it. I've lost it with FTD and done and tol' him to drop dead on .com. And that's a direct quote too.

He said that friggin' Franada word again. I was going to let it slide as just being FTD. But then on by thread showing my funny Inuit sculpture with two humping bears, he accused me of being "offensive".

It was short and sweet but I lost it.

I reported him and I reported me too, just so he would not get the satisfaction.

We'll see what happens to me now.

Welcome gloriaguides! Nice to have you on board. You will certainly enjoy this board. As Jackie stated it is a relief from the .com board. I rarely visit the .com board anymore myself. This board better suits my needs as a Canadian seller. So again BIG WELCOME!

bidwatcher, sorry you finally had a run in with that freak FTD. He has totally ruined the .com board. The pinks of eBay need to shut this guy down. I do not care if he is not breaking the rules. His boyish manner leave allot to be desired.

Have a great day everyone!

Jackie, I've been on a wait list for some time and have finally been approved for a wit transplant. I've been told that it is considered a fairly safe procedure - my witician plans to perform the procedure in my garage at midnight with forceps, a six pack of Heineken and a small sheltie. Keep reading the journal... I may get a mention yet.

yadada, yadada, yadada, yadada :<)

Bill - That was FANtastic. Witician...now I will be using that one this weekend at the family gathering.

Don - You have been doing some amazing work on the other board. I'm proudoya. I sure hope they don't remove your posting and then remove mine.

Lisa - what did you post? C'mon...tell us. I can't stand the suspense? Have you ever in your life seen a loser like that? It's pitiful.

The thread is the one where I show the bears Inuit sculpture. You know the one. In the title there is a reference to Tahoe, but the thread really has notheing to do with her. It is still running so it has not been pulled. Fine.

On the the other thread in question, a PS asks about a Canadain seller who complained about her broken basket and overshipping. That one is no big deal either. Fine. But in this thread FTD uses the Franada word and I get my back up, but do nothing.

In the humping bears thread, FTD suddenly appears and says the thread is offensive to Tahoe and we should be more sensitive. I lose it. I say Give me a break and he should not be using Franada etc and then complain about being offensive. I then tell him to drop dead. I report my own thread. It is pulled instantly. I don't a pink slap because of that jerk.

I then write to Tahoe apologizing if I hurt her feeleings. She writes me back right away. She did not even have a problem with me. It was others in the thread but she sure appreciated someone taking the time to care about rudeness etc. We are fine.

My drop dead post is gone. Me and Tahoe are fine. I go to Shoppers Drug Mart and walk my dog.

I come back. FTD posts - what was my problem? I was rude and he called me on it. HOLY CRAP.

This time I let him have it with dignity and class. If he does not get now, there is absolutely nothing I can do. The post id there now, in the bears thread.

You guys are amazing and we are a great team. I hope to meet you all at an eBAy live even and we will be great friends, I know it.

GROUP BEER HUG!!!

Yep Lisa...I saw your post to FTD the second time about Canada and France. Yeah right...like he knows any Canadian soldiers were killed. Must be awfully claustrophobic in that little world of his. You know what? If I attack that 'subject' I am afraid I will go too far. And like you said, it's not worth the slap.

But, I promise you this...as long as Karen, Don, you and I are in there once in a while, we should collectively be able to put the tiger back in his cage. Personally, I think he does it just to get a rise. Maybe that's the only way he can get one *wink*

Don't look now but the little FTD has offered an olive branch...

Must have nearly killed him too.

If Lisa and Jackie are putting their heads together, I think we'd ALL better duck!!!!

Just got back from the .com board where I read the whole humpin' bear thread. I had to come back here to give my sides a rest ;D Lisa, I think you just might have actually got to the air-head. Mind you, you were duking it out with an unarmed no-wit!
