What is your purpose, Monkey? Are you trying to save the board from the "great invasion"?
I've already told you - no one person (or group of people) is going to destroy this place - very egotistical of you to think so...We come here to relax and talk about cigars...at least we used to before you and your merry band got here.
I guess your aim is to destroy the place because Oblik is a Mod? Is that the goal here?
As far as screwing people, I think Oblik's attitude is what's screwing people - whether it's his trading practices, or his heavy handed mod practices that's screwing people - he's screwing people. You're attitude is inflammatory - supporting suspicious trading practices is inflammatory.
I'll tell you what - read for yourself how a bad situation is handled in an unmoderated manner. It's a little uncomfortable at some points, but I suggest you read it ALL the way through - FROM BEGINNING TO THE END!!! The resolution is worth the read!!!

The Member apologizes to the community
The ironic part of those posts is the guy thought he truly had REAL product - and he was WRONG. His product was true from its origins, but not true labeling, so I dare to say, a bit more legit than Oblik's, which are of suspicious origins all together. Yet, this guy did some further reasearch, realized his mistake, and APOLOGIZED to the community. Fortunately, no one was out anything because no trades were done. But he could have just as easily just walked away and chalked it up to experience. Had he done that, however, he would have been outed at any other board he went to - such as what Dave has done here.
I'm glad to see Oblik has NOT been locking threads and deleting posts. And he's been very quiet through these discussions. Hopefully, he understands and appreciates the gravity of his actions, which will shape his decisions in the future.
