Jeez, who IS this "Dave Degenerate" tos*er ? I've been trying to keep up
with the massive number of emails flying about recently, but it's damned
difficult with so much going on. Is this guy Oben in disguise ? Certainly
seems vitriolic enough !
Tom, for what it's worth, this sounds like the ramblings of a bitter and
twisted man. I have no wish to comment on your reasoning for buying and
selling OM stuff, it's none of my business, but it seems that a lot of
people appreciate the offers you extend to them as a result of your
activities. A lot more people also seem to appreciate your advice and
knowledge on OM kit. So please, ignore this irrelevant Sh*te and just carry
on as before ...
Peace and Love, everyone, Peace and Love !!
Jon

Subject: Re: [OM] Tom Scales, watch your back.
Tom most here won't say anything against you because they depend on you
for servings of scraps. You are sorely mistaken if you believe everyone here
supports you. You would be surprised at who is privately stabbing you in the
back. Your enemies make themselves known, look at your 'friends' when you
consider the people who I mean. These people are duplicitous and say one
thing in private and another in public.
Private mails from these people have time and again repeated negative
views about you. They condemn your entrepreneurial views and attitude. They
laugh about your 'ridiculous' statements about items listed on your web
site. The most recent 21mm f2 you acquired is couched with a comment of
"Hahahaha" and at least two people have said how stupid they think that is
and how demeaning to other Olympus list members it is.
"Ha,ha,ha,ha,ha - he says maniacally. The whole point of the big
purchase......"
Why do you bother with such huge purchases for one item? Surely they ask
you could just buy a single item you need. I'm sure these 'friends' know
full well that its so that the wanted item turns out at no cost to you. This
is the third example of this lens you've had. Why did you sell the other two
they ask. They point out that you have done this with several items such as
your 40mm and 35-80mm etc. Surely this is the behaviour of a businessman and
not a hobbyist. The statements go on and on. There's a whole underworld that
stabs you in the back Tom. Just know that.
Most also mention that you are sensitive to issues of buying and selling
on the list and never mention things openly on the list regarding this. They
say you've been instrumental in transforming this list from a great place
prior to your arrival that discussed OM equipment into a sales yard for
second rate second hand equipment.
Anyway Tom... best of luck to you in your business dealings here. I know
its an important part of your life. Maybe the only thing in your life. Keep
posting pics of those parcels to fuel the hobby slash business. I don't want
to deny you nor your pack members the coveted items. Offer them good deals
won't you. They've licked your balls enough to deserve good prices.
