    I envy you not, and admire your "high road" stance.

    What's to admire?

All you've done is repeatedly state that you sent a link to Matt's high bidder and that (in your mind) there would have been no problem if Matt had updated the old post that the link referred to. What you HAVEN'T done is state what RIGHT you had to interfere and send the link in the first place!

    It wasn't your camera.

    It wasn't your auction.

    It wasn't your bidder.

    It wasn't your business.

    Your actions cost Matt real money.

    So the question is: All things considered, what gave you the right to interfere in Matt Pacini's ebay auction? Certainly you would have felt angry if someone had done that to YOU.

    It's a reasonable question; much more reasonable than the actions it refers to, actually. Why don't you simply answer the question if you feel what you did was justified? Or is the prospect of stating in public that you intended to cause Matt Pacini harm too much of a risk for your ebay account? They don't cotton to that type of behaviour, do they?

    So, you're stuck. If you answer the question truthfully, then Matt has the admission in writing that will end your ebay account for interfering in his auction. If you buck up and admit you're wrong in what you did, then your tortured brain will explode.

    Tough choices, to be sure. But you created the problem in the first place by secretly contacting Matt's top bidder; something that you never thought anyone would find out about.

    Well, we did.

    <font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">Dude...you are either being ironic, or you are insane. Which is it?

    I see no proof of Alex trying to take any kind of "high road."

    If you want proof that Alex is unable to make friends, look no further than here:

    Thanks, Shatzy!

    However, Alex has removed the "edit" function from all the mortals on this particular forum. Only the mighty A. is allowed to edit posts, it would seem. Therefore, Chas can't fix the link.

    So, here's a direct link to what Chas was referring to:

    http://www.hostboard.com/cgi-bin/ult...ic/f/429/t/457

    Yes, nice way to make friends.

    Well, once a couple of your "devotees", Camerguy and Super-8 Booster decided to delete all of their posts on this forum, that was the only course of action I could take, go ahead, ask Shatzy.

    That topic was inspired by you Roger.

    So what is the point?

    <font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">there is a third option of allowing a poster
    to edit but not delete their posts.

    <font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">Uh, yeah.... Just like you "HAD" to contact Matt's top bidder and interfere with his auction. It was the only course of action you could take? Please. You seem to think that you HAVE to do something when, in reality, it would have been best to do nothing at all.

    <font size="2" face="verdana, sans-serif">No need. She just busted you.

    So what gave you the right to interfere in Matt Pacini's auction, anyway?
