Q&A sessions with LANSAM and PinPics
Which brings me to this thread and, really, the entire series of threads about Pin Pics and Lansam. TiggerNut is posting facts and opinions in a manner that is within TOU (I have no doubt that the administrators and moderators are watching these threads closely and, if they had any problems with what she was posting, they would make said objections known). Like it or not, TiggerNut is a member of this forum and she has just as much of a right to post here as any of us. If you disagree with or don't like the facts and opinions contained within her posts, you have several options:
1. Respond to what she is saying, but make it a mature, adult discussion that focuses on the subject (without making it a personal attack)
2. Just ignore her - Grim has an excellent thread with instructions on how to ignore a member or, if you ask, almost anyone can tell you how to do this
3. Just read the posts but don't respond; if you don't believe you can post something constructive that will advance the discussion in a positive direction, maybe you don't need to post
However, telling members to shut up, stop posting, and go away just is immature and not an appropriate response. IMO, only administrators/moderators have the right to tell a member to stop posting and/or go away - and that would come in the form of a deserved suspension or ban, not posted in frustration or anger in a thread on the boards.
The reason I'm posting this is because I believe in the importance of open discussion. When there is an issue like the future of Pin Pics, we need to be able to discuss the facts (such that they are) and our opinions openly in a mature, adult manner. I think that if threads like these are closed, either another one will emerge to take its place, the discussion will get shoved to the background into whispered rumors and conversations (which I think will be far more damaging to the hobby), or both. Right now, the administrators and moderators are treating us like adults, but that may not last much longer. If we want to be treated like adults, we need to act like it. Otherwise, we may start getting treated like children - and if that happens, we probably won't like it.
That being said, as I've said on numerous times, the Internet is a place where people come together to exchange and share thoughts and ideas. Not everyone is going to agree all the time, which is fine;

How would you feel, if in the name of open discussion we were to dig up the facts about you ... for arguments sake? How would you feel if people who have never met you, just in the name of sharing ideas, started poking at you?
I bet this kind of bs and drama is why dizpins closed up shop!
Now this being said, I know Pinpics has always been run on donations but LANSAM has brought up authentication of pins.
I'm not going to send my pins to some stranger to be authenticated by a stranger I know nothing about.
No, it wasn't. Dizpins was drama central and you won't find any posts from Dizpins because the site was deleted.
hopefully some asked my ? about the reference pages when email is changed
For all those curious, Lenny has responded to the personal issues being brought up here on pin talk...Nice long write up btw!
Well, just know when you read Lenny's post, know it is chalked full of lies (one, Lenny has NEVER contacted me)..and even has a couple of fun tidbits that reveal my concerns are indeed valid. Keep in mind, I have no desire to be the sole authenticator of pins.
PM if you have a concern about anything you read.
Proof? Or in the words of 4chan, pics or it didn't happen.
That would contradict Lenny's claim to have communicated to me directly. Lie #1.

This playing on words habit of yours is getting annoying for me. I am not sure if this is an attorney trick, but the whole meaning changes when one twists or adds few words.
His exact word is "explained" not communicated. Nowhere does he use the word "directly". Now we can argue if one can explain things to another person even without direct conversation/e-mail/any other one-on-one communication. Lenny is part of Lansam and Lansam posted several times that they are against scrappers. I think he means that you chose to ignore their posts.
The incorrect word I see in his statement is "I", it should be changed to "we".
