[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1147408, member: 112"]I was going to stay out of this, and will probably yet wish I had, but anyway. Never have I seen a group of people who consistently try to judge the actions of others as much as I see on this forum. It seems the longest threads we ever had are always when people are trying to just the ethics of somebody else's actions. Well let me ask all of you this ? Who here among you has not ever reported what a great deal you thought you got on some coin or the other ? I'd wager not a single one of you. Now imagine how you'd feel if when you did that there were 4 or 5 pages of discussion of how you ripped off the seller and people telling you what a low life you were. Yeah, there are people that rip others off. It happens every day. But there are also those who think they got a great deal every day. But yet they didn't rip anybody off. Why not ? Well, it's because the seller got what they wanted, the seller got the asking price they set. So the seller doesn't feel ripped off at all, and the buyer doesn't feel like he did anything wrong. Not long ago I sold my vehicle. I sold it to a guy for $15,900. Yet that same vehicle sells on the lots for $23,000. Did I get ripped off ? Or did the buyer just get a good deal ? Well, I'll tell ya. I didn't get ripped off. Every person here has their own code of honor, their own ethics. And just because they happen to be different from yours - that does not make them bad. Nor does it make yours bad. But at the same time, both of them might be bad. The only that decides which is true is [U]who[/U] is doing the deciding ! Here's what I'm trying to tell you. The forum, the whole world for that matter, would be a much better place if you stop making countless posts trying judge others and start trying to learn something instead. Ever hear the saying - judge not lest ye be judged ?[/QUOTE]
