thanks man, you are always very kind and your sentiments are always greatly appreciated
Normally in Group Buys people are only concerned about getting their gear and nothing else. They will scream and shout (via their keyboard) and try insulting certain GB organizers because they perceive something that's not being addressed. Hence it can get uncontrollable and accusations start to destroy a GB quite easily.
Yet when you pull back, had time to think, it doesn't help anyone by attacking and accusing. All it does is make the organizer less inclined to run the GB and makes their life a perfect form of "Living Hell on Earth". All too often in forums a lot of people are willing to put their 'pretend' steel-capped boots on and kick to death anyone they feel can amuse their bored but sad lives.
Being 'nice' seems to be some kind of weakness to these type of people that seem to have a roving fan base egging them on for more attacks and put down's, just to keep them entertained. I suspect these type of people are at a minimum here on Geekhack but they do still exist despite the admins best efforts.
Nothing to be gained at being nasty, but everything to gain by congratulating people for their hard work that very few others will ever do themselves. Always remember when dealing with people like in real life - face to face, it helps make things easier and it helps facilitate an honest and decent affinity with another human being. In the real world being nasty gets you absolutely nothing BUT being nice will pay dividends if not for yourself, definitely for the recipient.
