Far from perfect, PayPal has ripped me off in the past. . .

How exactly did they rip you off? Was it a matter of, you paid with PayPal, the vendor didn't deliver, and Paypal didn't reimburse you for your loss?

The article is from nine years ago. Is it still relevant in 2020? At what point, and under what conditions, is it reasonable to stop citing it?

After all, I see people from Great Britain posting on here every day. Before conversing with them, I would read this article:

https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/british-troops-set-fire-to-the-white-house

This appears to be a repeated pattern by this country. Not that folks shouldn’t talk to Brits, just watch what you say.

Why don't you give the entire cause of the War of 1812? Namely US troops made a failed sneak attack on Canada when they knew the British garrisons had been recalled to the war with Napoleon. After Napoleon was dealt with, Brit forces returned to deal with US. Ain't payback a beeyotch?

It wasn't so much that the Brit army was beaten by US as it was they beat themselves through incompetence, indecision, and lack of co-operation between army and navy.

This is old news. The owner has paid restitution. I've never had any problems with additional charges to my card.

Just a word to the wise about Michigan Toy Soldier— you might consider the article below involving fraud committed by the owner on none other than Peter Jackson before ordering:

You should read the entire article, since this appears to be a repeated pattern by the owner, who has been jailed twice now for fraud. Not that folks shouldn’t order from MTS, just watch your credit card statements.

Just sayin’ buyer beware. If he did it twice, it’s a criminal pattern, regardless of how many years between occurrences. He obviously didn’t learn his lesson the first time. There’s likely a higher probability of repeated fraud by a convicted fraudster than of Brits inflicting a second arson on the White House.

Even if forty years had passed by, not sure I'd have let my daughter in a car with Ted Kennedy. In fact I'm right certain of it.

[correction] PayPal "tried" to rip me off. ... Long story short, $150.00 was skimmed from my card in $50.00 increments. I had to scratch and claw with PayPal for months to get reimbursed. I think they just wanted me to go away. Just sayin,' we are vulnerable at every turn.

Sounds like exactly the opposite of PayPal ripping you off; they reimbursed you for money that someone else stole from you. I just wonder if that 180-degree "correction" would've ever been written had I not said anything.
