Heres how I see it and im probably one of the people the OP doesn't want to contribute but I will anyway.
I often take myself off the forum for a couple of weeks because there are posts that are just fantasy. I like this forum but I don't want to come on and read rubbish. theres enough real facts to keep the forum well and truly alive.
When I come back on, the rubbish is still there.. posts that conflict previous posts etc.. all stated as fact.
Ive got to the point where I don't really care anymore and ill point out discrepancies as they arrive. Many people have left this forum.. many of them were here from day 1 as I was.. they all left for a reason.
The " ignore" option was put here for a reason.
When posts are made that just don't add up or are in direct conflict to earlier posts then it needs to be addressed and its that addressing that causes vitriolic language and general nastiness.
Making stuff up on forums and having a negative effect is called trolling.
There is a reason why some people have a large amount of ignores to their name.

Exactly. I have watched from the sidelines & there is one conclusion. Caveoftreasures is a troll. A big-mouthed blatant troll. If there's sensible discussion he's nowhere to be seen. Then when somebody bites back at his rubbish (eg. "everything for sale" then "never sold anything") he carries on all high & mighty like butter wouldn't melt in his big troll mouth. Members have every right to call him out on "fantasy" posts. It's a great forum with so much knowledge but in all sincerity it is being ruined by one member.
