It's not a personal attack against you or Quebec - don't take it as such. He's frustrated with the postal system that makes cards disappear. To some it's not worth the risk of losing a high-value card, no matter how much they may like an individual trader. There is nothing in that comment that is bashing members or people from Quebec, only a statement that he has been ripped off by the mail system there. Please understand this.

It doesn't matter how it makes you feel. It is not directed at you. It's not even like he made any kind of defamatory statement towards quebecers. He simply stated that he has been ripped off multiple times by people in that province.
Unless you have control over the postal situation in Quebec, then this post is not an attack on you. A comment on the postal situation in Quebec is not by any means an attack on Quebecers, OR on Francophones in general. It is what it is, a comment on the postal system.
There are alot of great traders in Quebec, and no one is saying otherwise but the fact is that many of us have had more cards go missing in Quebec than anywhere else. So you can whine about how it makes you feel bad until the end of time, but making YOU feel better won't get anyone's cards back, so please just grow some thicker skin.

Very well put. An attack on a system or company is not an attack on everyone that lives there. It`s not personal.

I start to
to read guys like you (and will stay polite) , bashing members or peoples of Quebec because a problem with the post office ....
Say whatever you want about me,i've got thick skin and have learnt to deal with it and havn't bashed anybody from what i previously posted,i've been trading/buying hockey cards since 1976,and you know what,for the past 5 years i've had nothing but many issues with the postal system and certain collectors alike in that province,not only that,i have had issues with the like in the USA also,that was my opinion on a topic that seems to be an issue with not only me but for others as well.
I've also had alot of successful trades with people in that province way before this site started just by going to card shows.I've been ripped by impersonators for whom i've tried to buy from in that province over ebay,and it seems to me that its been happening alot more.
I love coming on here reading and learning about new products etc,and making friends,i help people out when i can with extra base cards but mostly collect it for my kid,i can't just run out and pay $400 for a box of cards but sometimes will pay 20 bucks for a pack just to see what i can get for my 9 year old son.
I'm in it still for "collecting" not making money like others,i'm old school,call me foolish call me whatever,this hobby is for my son,not me and when somebody from wherever rips him off i'm not happy about it.

Does the guy work for UPS???
have you given his name etc to UPS as well?
I would continue to call the police in Montreal until they were sick of hearing about it and either did something or arrested me for harassment.

Wouldn't bother me one bit if i was in your shoe's and somebody mentioned stuff about Alberta.
Lets get back to the original topic,the issue about the stolen card,it could happen anywhere,I hope the person who took it gets what they have coming to them and the best thing we can do as a card collecting community is make sure others know who this person is so they don't end up with similar concerns down the road.
