Do you post after having a drink, do you regret it the next day?

yoda said:Yes I've done it, it all depends what you've posted. If it's something silly or on the other hand it makes you cringe once you've reread it the next day. Its really not a nice feeling it's more embarrassment than anything, I've been down both roads :lol:
I try to avoid posting on the web now if I've had a few drinks although sometimes alcohol does tend to cloud my judgement and it seems a good idea at the time :?
Lom said:No! Bought a car once when pissed. Decided at around 3PM after much soul searching that I could only just about afford it and certainly couldn't justify it; by 10PM and best part of 10 pints later I'd said I'd have it.
Didn't find out until the next day after the guy rang me and I checked my texts!

Yoda i love your drunken posts, they're exactly the sort of things I would post if I could actually control my thumbs after a few rhums.

I fell out with a fellow collector a couple of months ago after I responded to a text he sent me offering to buy something off me, I was out with friends having a boozy lunch and my response was unnecessarily abrupt, my fault, since then I try to avoid responding to anything or worse still posting after I have had a drink!

So let's give u guys the full story since "Wreck-it Ralph" aka Anthony Roberts decided to come on here and casually mention his verbal abuse to "a fellow collector"!
V early part of the year some of u know I decided to part with my Palitoy 30 back collection which many of u know was all but one shy of all the Empire figures :!: So without meaning to b arrogant, a collection that most could only dream of :!: Anyway I let Anthony have 18 of the 19 MOCs(kept the Luke Bespin for my Luke Focus) and tbf to Anthony he initially made a v sound offer and didn't mess me about so much appreciated. However as serious Palitoy collectors know, a lot of money certainly does NOT guarantee a near full set of debut 30 backs :!: :!:
So my point is I feel I did Anthony a massive favour selling to him-because I wasn't in a situation where I had to sell. Also during and indeed after the sale I gave Anthony a lot of my time helping him out with info and advise to help grow his collection-we r talking many early morning phone calls which I happily took and helped out as best I could :!:
A couple of months later I sold Anthony a few more Palitoy Debuts which included the extremely rare 45a 3P0 RL-which the sale was all about. Again he paid well but again a big favour from me :!:
So moving on, Anthony acquired a load more Palitoy MOCs from another collector that he decided after a short while he no longer wanted so first offered them for trade then soon after offered them for sale letting the likes of me and some others know-but no prices were given :!: I had interest in a particular one-not particularly rare and made a fair market value offer and the response I got was "that seems low". I explained my offer was based on previous sales etc and got no reply.
After sometime past I thought I would get back in touch to c if we could both compromise and agree a price because I really wanted the MOC for my collection and this is(from memory) more or less the exact reply I got;
"I don't give a **** about SW Toys! Am more interested in cars! If u want anything, make an offer on multiple items or don't contact me!"
How would u react to a message like that from someone u have spent the best part of the year helping :?: Naturally I was v upset because this is actually the 2nd time I have received a nasty txt from Anthony-the first again being for no justified reason. So I gave a piece of my mind and told him not to contact me again.
Blaming your disgusting response to me on alcohol, u should b utterly ashamed of urself "mate" :!: :!: :!:
palitoyjunky said:I urge u to read it carefully Anthony :!: It may help u in future with ur collecting career and indeed life.
Anyone who knows me will know I am not one to hold a grudge and am a forgiving person so I will never mention it again if we talk or meet in future but I just felt v strongly about this and had to let off steam.
