"Yeah, I'm one of da X-spurts; just aks me."

Sometimes, the reasonable caveat to a gang of malfeasant, cowardly morons becomes futile, and then it becomes necessary to resort to other—more convincing and forceful—means of defense against this cyber underworld. We do not choose to engage this enemy in any untoward initiatives, but we refuse to waive any rights available to us. Unlike many of the other victims of these abuse sites, we are cognizant of the law and will be found to be most aggressive in its use.
Here is another man’s opinion of some of these malignant prevaricators, these cowards, these scumbags, by someone who is right on target in his descriptions. He says he has a forum as well and I wish him luck with it since he is obviously aware of the deeds of these bastards who need to have their mouths washed out with soap. Read on.

A small but very angry group of military collectors have recently taken great offense at our description of trolls. By ‘troll’ is means the nasty, petty-minded twits that infest the forums for collectors, attempting to shove their worthless opinions down the throats of respectable collectors, criticizing everything in sight, insulting other collectors, and in general, displaying an appalling ignorance of the collecting world. In the main, the trolls have no money and so take a leaf from the Aesop fable about the fox and grapes and claim that items they could not afford to pay even the postage on are obviously fake. Having seen what passes for a troll collection in the past, it is realistic to state that their own pathetic assemblages are mostly comprised of broken, misattributed or entirely fake items. Crooked dealers are quite bad enough and their transparent use of forums to boost their latest fakes (“Just got this jewel from a vet…” and “Some lucky collector gets to buy my gold Mother’s Medal with Oakleaves and Diamonds for only $35,000! And yes, this one did come from Schloss Klessheim!”) Troll postings are also only semi-literate and very short in length because most trolls are only semi-literate and reading anything longer than the back of a cereal box gives them headaches and eyestrain. Our forum has been set up specifically to keep out the trolls in the same sense as farmers putting up fences around their truck gardens to keep the pigs out. And then we have the pseudo-expert who claims to have been a genuine “war hero” and as such, above the rest of the collecting world. Unfortunately for them, military records are not secret so someone who says they were a top man in special forces and decorated by the President himself were almost always supply sergeants who were invalided out of service with severe hemorrhoid problems. (Of the sort George W. Bush had and for the same unprintable reasons.) A collecting forum ought to be a pleasant gathering place for serious collectors, not a playground for gap-jawed trolls and dealers trying frantically to authenticate and sell the pride of Pakistan (or Poland).
