Below is a comment he made when I pointed out he was posting a photo of mine that did not belong to him and it points out his reasoning that 10,000 other collectors are doing it?


If you wish to whine and cry about posting photos (and clearly you do), then do so directly to me by way of PM. That said, please make sure to also contact the other 10,000 collectors who didn't bid but who copied that photo off of e-bay for their own personal reference before I posted it here.


My Response:



??? Where am I whining and crying may I ask. Just pointing out that you mostly post other collectors photos on WAF.

I have invested allot of money in my collection and I have no problems sharing my collection with WAF and the rest of the world. There is no reason to limit what I have to say to a PM...my choice.

I didn't dally on what I needed to say....if you read the rest of what I wrote I moved on to discuss what was in the photo along with some personal history and some insight as I have a very large collection of Fallschirmjaeger, Luftwaffe Field Division and Hermann Goering photo collection that proves there was a combination of Badges and insignia worn. I'm not here to get into any pissing contests.

I think he is confused because the photos he is posting are not his and therefore not in his collection…thus he is not the owner/collector of those photos. He has added further insult by blocking out the names of the owners of the photos without giving them credit or asking for permission to use them which I believe should be common courtesy from those who would like to use them for a good purpose. <!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <w:LatentStyles DefLockedState="false" LatentStyleCount="156"> </w:LatentStyles> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 10]> <style> /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} </style> <![endif]-->
