Here's the Real Disapointment of it all:

It just occurred to me what has been bothering me. It's not so much the message that was given today with the "Lease/Rent" threads and it isn't even the disapointing way it was presented.
I've personally figured something out. Stay with me here for a moment: There is certain behavior I've come to take for granted on these forums.
For example, I know pretty much what I'm going to get when I open a thread from Coinmonger or Cobb, or indebted.
I know what I'm going to get when SunRa enters the Open Forum (he's worth the price of admission alone! -Funny stuff).
I know when I read a post or a thread from Spooly or Dog97 or TomB that I'm going to enjoy an informal, albeit educational topic.
Now, I've also come to take for granted certain truths. I know that (for the most part) Shiroh; TRUTH; RegistryCoin; Supercoin; MichaelDixon; Askari; Keith, and yes, Wondercoin, do NOT participate in "Troll Threads".
They were usually absent in some of my earlier threads and topics. Rightfully so. It's not just a positive character atribute, but (and I mean this in a sincere, openly honest way) it was because they were, and are, above all that.
Well, that has been shattered by one.
When Wondercoin involved himself with opening a THREAD that ended up being a fraud (I know, I know, not a real serious one) he removed himself from that list.
I'm sure he'll quickly restore all his previous good faith via continued great threads and opinions and postings, and all will be forgotten- for the most part.
You can remove a nail from a clean, smooth board, but the damage is done. That realization is what is most disturbing about yesterday's events.

Modman: I removed a nail from my rubber tire the other day and it left no damage.
You don't know me very well if you think this "incident" will set me back. Few other serious coin sellers on this board would have even raised the loophole at all. Would they have been the smarter ones? TIME WILL TELL. No doubt there are a few members of this board I won't be selling coins to; that's the price I pay. Wondercoin
As far as I know, my coins are still secure in their warm, cozy safe.
All the hoopla many members are causing over what is really- if you read it throughly- enjoyable and educational writing!- is unwarranted.
I think all of our lives are the same, and maybe even slightly enhanced because (as Mitch pointed out) it DID get Registrycoin and Dog97 to write. A lot!

I don't think he wants to play with us anymore.
