Ah.. she doesn't bother me. I used to be in flute choir with her and for some reason she is fixated on bringing me down. Jeoulousy comes to mind.

Ah, I know people like that, too. It makes me sad more than anything to see someone change toward you just because they are jealous. I lost one of my best friends that way because I was first chair and she was upset that I wouldn't mess up my "challenge" to let her win it. Petty, now that I look back on it. Right now that is happening with a girl I have to perform with in a week. We are supposed to be playing the piccolo part from "Stars and Stripes" together and she is upset at me because I have it mostly memorized by now (memorization was a requirement for the concert) and she is taking it out on me because of it. *sigh* I just don't understand why things have to be like that. But, I suppose there is not one of us who has not felt a little jealous of someone for a musical reason!!!

LOL. Yes, I am jealous that must be it. Instead of actually making a effort to comment on the post, you have gone back to personal insults again. I could offer you the most sincere compliment in the world, or honest advice, and you would still take it as an insult and have something ugly to say. Disagreeing with you does not make me jealous of you. Good grief.

It could have absolutely nothing to do with seeing you make post after post about people on EBAY on a constant basis, and then actually seeing a very rude and condescending letter you sent to the seller. You posted his initial response to what you initially sent the seller, and he referred to you as bitter. If in an opening email you send someone they call you bitter on its return, I highly doubt it was worded in a way that would be constructive or as part of your "job". Do you work in the "Correct Ad" department for EBAY?

Cele, you have no idea what you are talking about as far as my behavior or attitude goes. While I applaud the fact that you are sticking up for someone Kara's word is not the gospel, nor is the word of anyone else on this forum. Not everyone in this world is as petty as your friend in band. It might be wise to remember that before you judge people you don't know.

"And, people shouldn't challenge those who know and care more about some things than they do!"

And on that note I am not really sure what you were intending with this comment, but I can assure you that you have no idea of the level of my intelligence,dedication, or expertise on the flute. The world is full of people who challenge others. That is what makes us individual and unique. If people didn't challenge ideas, principals, theories, or life, how boring would this world be?

DID comment on the post. Did you not see it? My first post to this seller was not bitter at all. I wish I would have saved it. Yes, I do work off of ebay and when I happen to run into something that is either a scam (there are a lot of them on there) or someone that has posted an in-line G or a slit E flute that doesn't have one, I do contact them to try and help THEM. Contrary to what you may believe, I do not go around being rude to other sellers. If I was such a bitter person, then please tell me how I could have 100% feedback rating?

I am sorry if I have caused you inconvenience by posting what I thought to be an interesting topic. I do not wish to get into a petty argument with you on line in front of everyone. We have had enough of those. If my posts bother you so much, then simply ignore them, don't read them.

Have a great day! Smile, life is too short too to get mad.

"It could have absolutely nothing to do with seeing you make post after post about people on EBAY on a constant basis, "

Wow. I wasn't aware that I post them on a constant basis. I have posted a COUPLE, but constant?

Nothing about any of this bothers me in the least. I don't take comments from people on the internet who do not know me seriously in the least. It is entirely too easy to judge people you don't know, act rude to them, and assume you have some personal bond with them because you know their screen name when in all acutality you have no idea who you are talking to behind a screen.

In no way was I trying to offend you and I am sorry if I did. I was just telling Kara somethings that had happened to me about the jealousy thing. Please don't be so defensive because I mean no offense. I agree with you that people should not judge others and I was not judging you. I don't even recall mentioning you in my post. I agree that I know nothing about you besides what you have posted and I do not doubt your intellegence. I don't like fighting. On the other hand, I usually know what I am talking about and am a very experienced, intellegent, responsible musician (not to toot my own horn) and you don't know anything about me. I fully agree with you, though, that there needs to be diversity to have a world in which all things are possible. I am sorry if you were upset and I hope that we don't have any reason to clash.

Hey Celebrian,
I just sent you a private email. Yes, I agree, diversity is a good thing.

Like I said Cele, I have no qualms with you at all. Have a good one

Thanks for sharing that with us Alieannie. I am glad to see there are other people out there that do the same as I do and care about people get ripped off. We all know that ebay is too busy to catch everything, so help from caring people will make it a better place.

I wrote to that seller too and he told me thank you for letting me know, but I guess he hasn't had time to change it.
