I have to agree with Gene's message above this one... I am reminded of a person complaining about so much sex and violence on TV, and the response is to demonstrate to the person how his remote control unit is supposed to be used.

If this is a serious problem, I am told there are effective medications to address depression and irritability. However, my best guess is that you were exaggerating.

I appreciate your offer to settle up on Vic's behalf, but you've missed the point. Vic would still be a crook, to the extent it's worth it to warn others to watch out for his shady deals. It's not just about the money; it's about Vic's arrogance and dishonesty - OK, actually, I'll give him credit for being honest when he said the reason he screwed me over for very excessive postage and handling was "Profit, pure and simple."

But Vic's arrogance is exemplified when he continues to offer the same kinds of trades and sales that he has used in previous scams, which he will not address and will not make good on. He also presumes we're as stupid as he might be, with an attention span of less than a week, so that his previous con jobs will be completely forgotten.
