I will graciously exit this forum...
I have never been a member of a watch forum that i have felt so unwelcome. I make almost daily posts that take considerably time and effort and the old guard here put down most of my posts in a condescending manner. There are too many threads that are "taken over" by another member trying to one-up the pictures I take or to make negative comments about my choices. I go out of my way in presenting watches in my collection so that all can see them in natural light and in the "flesh". I am here to spread my knowledge of Panerai. I am more than worthy of being here...but am tired of proving it.
Good luck on the forum. This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2009-08-19 15:47:15

Hi, Sdtom
Well, I don't see what you mean. Ylou post pics of your watches, and you perfectly know that there is a risk all your watches may not please to everybody. This is not a risk, this is certain. And some of your watches will please a lot. That's the game, my...
Well Sdtom
I always admired your big pictures of my favorite manufacture and I can tell you that more than one is saved to my HDD :0) and as I can see looking down few pages on Panerai forum you received more positive than negative comments. We are all humans and we...
?? I'm curious...
Greetings Tommysol, Weren't you unwelcomed on those other Panerai forums? The Purists are great bunch and very welcoming. There's no need for anyone to prove themselves here. I've been traveling so I just reviewed this forum and haven't found any evidence...
Hi sdtom ...
.... a lot of people here spend a lot of time on this forum .... . I, for instance enjoy your pics (i'm not a huge Panerai-fan) and so do others here. We don't always have the time to make a reply (whether it be positive or negative) but we sure do enjoy ...
Always enjoyed your posts
I may have never replied to your posts but always look forward to your pictures and have always admired your extensive collection of watches. I'm sure all of us appreciate the pictures you take!
Wow this comes as a total shock to me
Which thread are you referring to that you feel unwelcome? Your recent threads don't have any negative criticism or attacks on you, so I'm really baffled at why you feel this way. Please explain further because I do not see what you're referring to. Thank...
If it's any consolation...
Dear sdtom, I am sorry to hear that. To be quite honest, I have noticed a sentiment that verges on the arrogant ever so slightly on this forum a few times, and it might have been the same with you, but I personally love the excitement of so many here and ...
Roald, SDtom, I am very concerned by some of the statements
("accusations" might be a bit strong, but probably appropriate) you make about this forum, its moderators, and participants. We do take matters of courtesy and community respect very seriously; the "tone" of the site is as important to us as the "content....
No need to get carried away
I guess that we are all free to express our feelings and disappointments, but I feel that you may be going a little to far in you criticism of this forum and its moderators. I'm not a regular contributor to this forum but do make a post from time to time ...
Hey there Tom
Woa slow down buddy! I really do not understand , like Anthony here , in which of your threads did someone post something that negative that you feel this way? I for one definitely enjoy your posts, and in fact even reply to virtually all of them! I admir...
