I contacted you about a month ago regarding the Indonesian sticker and you never got back to me. Check your Facebook! Doesn't look like the message was ever "Seen."

You aren't FB friends with my brother so it's probably in your Message Requests section.

EDIT: If you are still interested in the sticker please PM me here on the DojoBoard.

Peace, maka
I noticed that you had commented on one of my FB posts four days ago and I just saw it yesterday! Things seem to get lost over there (see Steve's post above :P). It's so much easier to keep track of stuff here.

I thought maybe it was just me that was annoyed by it. :roll:
Not sure, I decided take a break for a couple of days. I shouldn't be getting grumpy over a FB group.

I have no problems being a curmudgeon. I flagged all of his TMNT posts as spam and then sent a message to him via Facebook Messenger asking him to please stop.

Did anyone besides me try to fold a top loader after seeing this? The mail carrier had to put a bit of effort into this delivery.

I see the original thread has been removed from the UY! group. If the mods want to remove my post feel free to do so.

I was wondering where it had gone and if it had been pulled...

I'm assuming there was some sort of resolution and the post was removed to put everyone at ease. That's why I said the mods could remove my post if they think it'd be better for everyone involved.

I think there was more to this story than what was revealed from the start. Some factors just didn't align.

Before the post/thread was deleted, I think a resolution was achieved.

There did seem to be more to the story and things felt a bit off to me, so when I saw the post I emailed Usagi Studios to let them know about it and that people were talking. In the end, Stan came in and offered a full refund. The original poster ended up deleting the post.

Thank you, everyone, for your support. Yes, it was fully resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Basically, he will keep the art, and pay full price for it.

Dear Stan,

I'm glad things worked out. I'm sorry about the negative impact this public attack on your business practices and on Daniel, Beth, Julie, and you. I'm sorry for my part of that pain by being supportive of Ken in my first comment. I didn't consider how my comment was adding fuel to the fire and keeping the criticisms going. Sometimes it is better for me to not say anything. I need to learn that lesson over and over again.

In the future, I will contact Team Sakai to let let them know something is up. And I will continue to show my support publicly for the good people you all are.

Peace, maka

Since I bought multiple copies of the first hardcover 6 years ago and I jokingly* made a comment about selling my extra copy before it drops in value I was called a scum for speculating on comics.

*I gotta know my audience. :P I've said multiple times that I'll only trade it, but I suppose that would still make me a scum since I purchased more than one.
