Aw c'mon you guys, gimme a little credit here. I defended your right to discuss what was going on within the srg, not once but several times.

I finally deleted the 'tulip' thread not because it was 'non-positive' but because there are people who are members of both forums and the thread was beginning to take a tone that was insulting to those members.

I think you're being a little unfair here Anita.

Rob,
I wasn't being unfair... I was being a smartasp. 
I've read a ton of posts from SRG members and non-SRG members about how the group has positive conversations... unlike the negative and whiney chat on the Stores Board. 
Since I am negative, a whiner, rabble rouser, etc., it was just an opening for me to poke fun.   

Edited to add:  I need to GIVE up trying to use the quote thingie on here.

  Ban trolling and bullying by SRG members on the boards and you might have a leg to stand on. As it is, you should probably ask House if you can borrow his cane. 8)

[b]In one breath I get chastised for limiting free speech and in the next I'm challenged to stop it...hmmm

It's not my job to send folks to the corner for what they may do on the other boards. And until about a month ago I was completely unaware that several people (who were members of srg) were even posting on the store boards with other id's. And when the former group leader left the srg, so did most of those who were using posting id's.

BTW, I already have a cane, and it's much nicer than the one House uses. Mine has a brass duck head handle.

  No, Bob, I don't think Rob is a mod here.  Is he??

[b]Anita if  you're gonna be a smartbutt, you need to finish with a wink...us boinktards don't always recognize satire or sarcasm.

I OFTEN forget to use the smilies here (hard to believe when sooooo many are available) because most of the people that post here already know my sense of humor (or lack of).

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.........no, it is not your job to limit free speech. BTW, why did you pull the TT thread.?

Whether or not this is true, I have no idea. I do know that the trolls remain , doing their SRG anti-negative dance. Additionally, many SRG members whom I know are still  in the cult, and do not use posting ids, continue the bullying and trolling on the boards. They then avoid being pink slapped by self-reporting their thread or posts. They are frequently viscious. This is not free speech, this is simply verbal assault to attempt to shut down free speech.
SRG could easily implement a policy forbidding this behavior. But, I get it--this is what ebay wants and if you have not get figured that out, you are not .......ummmm...very bright.
Maybe acting like a man instead of a puppet would benefit you ?

Oh, Rob, please, can I touch It?

Well Rob apologies accepted.
But I must say that if I went to SRG and
made a blanket statement
similar to what you stated here.
But seemed to be directed at your members...

I'd probably be blocked immediately (so I could not clarify or defend my statement)
but would probably be allowed to be flamed for about three days
or so after that on the thread so as all your "members" could get their
licks in before you deleted the thread. 

(Or maybe you have learned something about that, and maybe just maybe,
lieworld would STILL delete a thread seeing as they have the ultimate
authority over there right?)  :

I'm glad you do have a successful website, and sell on other venues too.
I'm also very impressed that you are able to admit that ebay
is your LEAST profitable avenue of income and have recognized that
ebay is simply another tool used to build your bid-ness. 

You just went up in my respecto meter 10 fold.
(Not that I'm some guru of the online selling
world and my opinion is worth anything)...

So if I miss understood your post.
My apologies to you as well.

Now when you guys get Chris in the corner.
Don't back down like so many before you have done.

Just realize one thing.

eBay understand one thing only. MONEY.

If some of you are as influential as ebay may
have you believe then do the right thing for ALL
the stores members. And if ebay doesn't listen.

Then please for the love of god.
Do what hundreds of thousands have done.
Simply close your wallets and / or reduce the amount
of money you are feeding them. 

Trust me..
That will get their attention and may at least help
the one's who for what ever reasons, intend to stay ebay all the way.

Happy selling and I wish you great success. 

Anita. I'm jealous... and here I thought you only like my socks.

:blinkie:

Anita. I'm jealous... and here I thought you only like my socks.

Huh?

Also, someone fill me in on the joke about House and the cane? 

Another note:  I try verrrrrrrry hard to not poke fun of individuals.  It was Snow that used the ID GreenFriendBrains (and later deleted the post) that accused me of being postcards and called me names.  Therefore, she is open season... same as those that hold VP, CEO, etc. positions with slimey companies. 

BellisimaJ.  A little heads up.

Go READ this:
http://liveworld.com/solution/

You may find that some of the trolls you
speak of are actually lieworld operatives.

THEY ARE PAID TO POST.

I've seen some of the nastiness all over you over there.
I've been studying this company ebay has a contract
with for over three years now and no doubt in my
mind some going after you and others
are indeed lieworld posters.

They exist and they do come at people who don't toe the party line.
This is small but abusive group who have access to MANY ID's.
Some even with bogus feedback and dates and info making them look
as if they have sellers and buyers for years.

xppman is permanently ban from participating in ebay's forums and
I'm hated by this little group lieworld employs.

Not because of posting violations, but because of telling the truth
and alerting people about the underbelly of ebay paypal and
lieworld and the people they employ.

I (in the past at least) was able to expose them for the frauds that they are.

PS NOT saying anyone in SRG's group are any of these.
But they DO indeed exsist.

Oh sorry Anita that was Bell who said this.
