Yes, we have been having secret meetings for weeks, planning our strategy, sharpening knives, waiting for him to slip up :crazy: Who else is supposed to be in this mob exactly?
I've explained my reasons clearly multiple times. Johnny and Dozer have given the official word multiple times. Plenty of people have expressed their opinion. You happen to hold a different opinion, fair enough, but I don't think you are going to convert many of us. Let's leave it there, hey?
And I've said it before, but will repeat it again for you: Chops does have a good and generous side and has contributed a lot to this community.

Thank you Camo. Pastadave is my illegitimate half brother. He was not part of the international anti-chopsticks secret society. He couldn't remember the secret handshake.

Why are we thanking the mods? Have you seen the salary they are on ? It would put a Nigerian prince to shame.

this whole ordeal sickens me, both sides of the argument!....buying things for a steal, and then 're-marketing' them for a profit, nauseating!

Is there one showing Hitler's reaction to missing out on buying the slx cranks?
Foxpuppet, are you aware that Chops bought them for thirty and then PMd the other interested party offering them for more than $50 and then when didn't get that is selling them for $68 (starting price, mind you) and then has offered contradicting reasons as to how and why it occurred? Also, are you aware that Chops clearly and openly admits to working hard to get the sale regardless of who has claimed interest in buying the item before him? Are you aware that he openly admits to flipping items on RB for profit?
Are you aware that the issue with the cranks is only part of the reason we decided to act? Are you aware that the mods act on our own initiative regardless of what any 'mob' may do? Are you aware that we had been discussing this issue since approx two months back? If you are not aware of these things I'd suggest you are forming your opinion based on a lack of information. I'm glad that you're involving yourself in this discussion and taking a contrary view, I encourage civil discussion on this matter as it increases awareness on important matters.
I also want to point out that many people have cited that Chops is not a bad person but only has some issues he needs to consider regarding some of his online activities - and also note that Chops has not been banned. With that in mind I would strongly advise that whilst there are some people who are not Chops' fans this action has not been taken due to any personal issues with Chops and thus any "lynch mob' are a redundant element to this matter.
