With all due respect Homeless, and I offer mine in spite of the fact that you show me no respect at all: you are absolutely wrong brother! At NO TIME was anyone ever asked "to back off on their bidding". At no time did I ever ask "favors" of other bidders". The fact that two individuals voluntarily elected not to bid against me was most likely due to the fact that they wished to demonstrate their respect for me personally. With all honesty, and considering the kinds of tripe you regularly post to this forum; how many of your peers would be willing to show you such respect? As to your latest insult, I refuse to further defend my actions as I have accurately stated and restated the events exactly as they occured; and further, Ross, with whom I have had no contact since the auction ended, verified my account of those events once he became aware of the the baseless insinuations being directed towards me (although I am convinced your twisted logic has us "covering" for each other). Obviously my being labeled a criminal failed to adequately brighten your boring day; so in your unquestioned judgment you have now determined that I am also a liar "Bottom line....You did and you should've kept quiet about it". It seems rather odd to me that someone such as yourself, someone who has absolutely no knowlege of this matter except as related herein, can make such a slanderous accusation with even the minutest amount of credibility. But such behavior is nothing new from you, or for that matter from certain other individuals who seem to take great delight in posting their faceless, long-distance insults directed at others. This kind of rude behavior, this kind of judgmental I'm-always-right-and-everyone-else-is-always-wrong-but-if-I'm-wrong-I'm-still-right attitute has poisoned this well far too many times and alienated many in the process. Were it not for the fact that such behavior is totally uncalled for, so over the line, and so disgustingly pathetic, it would be commical. But this is a big ole world Homeless, and I believe with all my heart that you have the right to believe whatever your twisted mind leads you to conclude. And above all, I sincerely hope that you are as insulted by my post as I was by yours; and also, please understand that, more than anything else, I want your red-faced response to reek with new and even more vitriolic and slanderous insults, as these will serve only to reveal more of your true character. As for me personally, throughout this entire episode I have conducted myself in a professional manner; steadfastly defending my honor and my integrity, as well as that of my peers. Anyone who wishes to waste the time required to read the groundless insults and inuendos contained herein can, and will believe whatever they choose; but frankly, the judgement of an individual such as yourself is worthless and means nothing to me or anyone who knows me. I wish you a very pleasant evening!
