PatchDog Wrote:however, it seems that TT members or someone associated with them is deliberately attempting to destroy AM by listing fake and illegal items and reporting these items to Oodle and Google (btw the way, Oodle has removed AM's listings because of these practices).

This has gone way beyond "your site sucks and mine is great". Now you are sabatoging a site and the SELLERS of this site jsut because you do not like the owner a a few members.....is this how we up the ante to make sure that the sites we like succeed? Are people going to go running around to all of the sites they dont like and list Botox and kiddie porn and then report the site to Google?

I dont agree with Mike blocking people who come in through TT but my guess is that he is trying tgo protect his site and his sellers as opposed to "blocking buyers" as you stated earlier....this isnt about him not agreeing with TT so he blocks everyone who visits the site...this is about there being a chance that Tulip Tools or those associated with them trying to destroy AM and AM's sellers....they have gone too far if this is the case....

I haven't laughed this hard AT SOMEONE since Ray Romeo told his dog s.hit in the mail fairytale. Happy001

A. A certain AM cheerleader needs to lay off the crack before posting --it would spare the rest of the world from having to read his ridiculous paranoid theories which are "pound for pound" the biggest load of shit around.

B. If a venue's business is so fragile that criticism from a handful of forum posters puts it in danger of being "destroyed" then it doesn't have much of a business and sellers should steer clear of it --it's definitely not a viable alternative and its management's inability to act in a businesslike manner guarantees that it will never become "kind of a big deal"

If Mikey can't handle criticism now there is no way he would be able to handle the inevitable increase in complaints if the site grows to 100K, 500K, 1 million members. Mikey's inability to handle criticism and customer complaints in a professional manner, not forum posters, is what will inevitably destroy Atomic Mall and cause it to implode. Mikey's personality and the way he deals with criticism is WP1 Ray reborn with an ugly purple header.

Mike the Conman's magic inflated counters work their magic and dupe another seller into thinking Atomic Mall receives a purple boatland of traffic! Whoo hoo!

Little does the seller know that the high views are because the counter counts her own views, counts multiple visits in one session by the same user, and counts browser refreshes.

George Tannous had the same magic counters. Did Mikey buy AM's counters at the BidBay/AuctionDiner/Bidway/AuctionCities going out of business sale?

OSU underlined mouseover text for the word "Mike":

He's lurking in the corner with his 2 PSU yellows.

OSU may be worried that their 10 active members will go down to 9...LOL

I noticed the banner at the top of their forum. I guess when paid they aren't such AM supporters after all...Maybe if Bonanzle pays them, they'll put a big green Bonanzle banner up....hehehe

bargainbloodhound · 08-19-2009, 04:58 AM,

I didn't notice the banner on OSU but I have noticed that both PSU and OSU have donate buttons and TT doesn't....time to fix that

I can't believe ScienceFair has only had 17 sales total and only one sale in the last 6 months from Atomic Mall. WTF? Plus, he only has 17 items listed.

That boy better be gettin some inventory so he can buy some color for OSU.

Cohiba is now on both hobby seller/AM cheerleader/ OSU plagiarist SF and Lizard's (the person "not currently selling anywhere" who thinks getting banned from PSU is worse than geting banned from eBay) blue card lists. Happy001

Mikey also makes an appearance in that eBay thread.

Quote: A post like the above, that gets into character assassination is a perfect example.

It would have to be false, misleading, or manipulative in an attempt to destroy his reputation.
a) it's true
b) not misleading
c) not manipulative
d) destroy his reputation?

Sorry, but I think ScienceFairy has ruined his own reputation. He is nothing but as unprofessional as you can get. Even his avatar isn't original and is from an avatar site.

Plus, I can honestly say I've never seen anyone whine as much as ScienceFairy. Just put him in a diaper already!

Here's some reading....I just had to do it
