Troll/Insult emails

[Grumpy pants]

I think Tatiana Tatsuya has been watching too much 'Karate Kid' !!! And needs to get out more....

[simensays]

Seems I stepped on some toes with my comment regarding my collection of Wild Willys...
Got this email just now from a guy named Tatsuya:

"I noticed you claim to have one of the biggest Wild Willy collections in the world. You obviously know next to nothing about the Tamiya collector community and the size of collections here in Japan. Welcome to reality and stop the unjustified bragging."

So, sorry to any collectors out there that felt that I was bragging, or stealing their Wild Willy thunder. I was simply trying to illustrate a thought, as I hope all those that have known me for more than 12 years here on TC, and my focus on the MK1 Wild Willys, understand.

Jeez what a jerk

Grastens and simensays, please report any of these emails to Twinset. Don't trust in the names that claim to be the sender. Since they are sent by the main TC site messaging system (but not the forum), they could be as well just one person under different cover names.

Please see also this thread for more information:

Unfortunately, the troll/trolls didn't get bored.

Twinset, is there anything that can be done about that?

The fact that mail like this comes from frustrated minds is direct punishment for these trolls.

Since they're desperate to be noticed, they're best ignored further.

[GregM]

Ignoring is easy to say, but hard to do. I feel empathy with our friendly members who got insulted.

Unfortunately, Tamiyaclub's contact system isn't setup to block external mail

When the internet was friendly it wasn't necessary.

There's nothing I can do about them I'm afraid, this is 100% a Chris issue.

I'll drop him a mail

I have had about a dozen or so over 7 months mainly left as comments on items I have had in my showroom ,at first it frustrated me but now they are just ignored ,shrug it off I guess, narrow minded people living in their narrow minded world .

The comment side of it should be sorted now - there was a way to leave comments 'anonymously', leftover from some testing a while back and it took a time to figure out the issue.
