You're a smart guy, how can you continue to miss the forest for the trees here?
Let me recap: Treme claimed he had 'proof' of a conspiracy, going as far as saying his little "story" wasn't a theory because HE HAD EVIDENCE. Then he went on to yap about some "new display" that no one else has seen, pointed to sets that were "Out of Stock" coming back, and gave us Battle of Endor set's retirement as a checklist that pointed to some vast TLG conspiracy.
Through his little travel through conspiracy-land, he managed to make some patronizing comments. I called him out on both his claims of evidence and his comments I took exception to.
The common consensus of VC (and the entire MF theme) and HD retirement is that they're going this year. This is backed by a number of actual, tried and true indicators including emazers wholesale report, EOL designations in NZ/Aus, and dwindling inventory at almost all retailers. Did I say it was guaranteed these were done? NO. Could it last another year? While anything is possible, it was Treme who claimed he had evidence to the contrary - that's why I asked for it.
Why are you trying to defend this guy? Because some members not involved in this conversation took exception to a post you made four months ago that turned out to be right and that you've already gloated over? Get over it.
For the record, I have never attacked you and I didn't attack Treme. I called him out on some unfounded proclamations and his patronizing comments. If you have an issue with other members of the "community", address it with them. Until then, I suggest you stop playing Robin Hood for members that don't need or deserve it.
