Quoted from mbeardsley:Sure, that comes across as pretty annoying. Certainly a "Please, would it be possible to, upload pics...(etc)" would have gone over much better.
But in fairness, I (and probably most people outside of FL) have never heard of Village BBS before and it is completely reasonable to be wary at this point, considering how many scam sites are proliferating right now.
It's great that you have a "tight" group, but if you are looking to buy/sell to people outside of that group, you can't just bank on "tightness".
But yeah, a lot more friendliness was probably called for from the OP.
You are absolutely correct it is reasonable to be wary, but as a new member somewhere I would be courteous and ask question rather than make demands. I wonder if you have read the thread and posts in question as it seems you may not understand the attitude the OP took on their forum.
