Maybe you spelled it incorrectly?


Sooooo two conclusions can be made.


1. Your an idiot who can't spell discworld?

2. You were not searching for discworld...

Which means...

What were you searching for? hmmm?

Did you get that search for "Disc World" or "Discworld?" I only got close to that many when I split the search word in two.

598 items found for Discworld

Odd

Try a different browser, perhaps?

see, it was a glitch with Ebay.

Here is my breakdown.

Discworld: 48 items.
Disc World: 150 items.
Disc world: 294 items.
disc World: 150 items.
disc world: 150 and 294 items, it changed when I did it a second time.

Conclusion: eBay search sucks?

then why didn't someone ask that, moron?
i already knew they wouldn't ban it. there was no reason to.

Maybe you should think about why people are asking the question before assuming that we are all out to get you. Get teased much as a child?

you must be new to ATOT.

No, not at all. I do see that you are going to get it worse for being a moron who pre-emptively striked out to getting teased, than just taking your shots as you asked a question like most people there.

For further information which may or may not have any bearing on the matter at hand, I am using Firefox, and I get the same results whether I am logged into eBay or not during my searches.

There is only 1 person in this thread who doesn't realise that Pontifex is being a complete a$$....

He's like a child throwing a temper tantrum at this point. No amount of polite, logical, reasonable, or respectful replies is going to keep him from lashing out.


WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Somebody needs his friggin binky. Or a nap.

Oh jeez, Pontifex is an IDIOT and an ASS.

I've dealt w/ him before and there is no getting it into his head. He will always be like this, thinking everyone is "out to get him" or always making fun of him.

Granted, most of his posts are "hmm, let me post what is on mind right now" type of posts.

He never laughs at anything on these forums...always so serious (or an ass), so Im' assuming IRL he probably doesn't joke or laugh.

Thats odd. I wonder if its a glitch, someone bought everything (lucky bastard!), or they all ended the same time?

Anyone else experience this before?

Maybe eBay is cracking down on the bestiality auctions? :p

NOO i make alot of money ebaying time with my sheep!

well, according to you, the first garbage post was the first response. then you started cowering in defence and accusing people of attacking and insulting you. Do you seriously not realize how you've been presenting yourself in this thread?

Actually, the first loss of logic was when you questioned why people wanted to know what type of item you were looking for. It's asinine that you don't realize how relevant that question is to your post. And you simply claiming that it is irrelevent doesn't make it so.

It's useless trying to talk logic/reason to him. He just won't accept it.

I would say 95% of the time, he thinks someone's post is either: a) sarcastic, b) insulting, c) immature

any of which he'll give a sarcastic/defensive/comeback post with a ":roll:" at the end.
