necessarily make it wrong. In my opinion, if you had a bad experience dealing with me in the past & noted on this forum that I was a pain to deal with, so what? Is that "calling me out" or ruining my reputation? Not in my eyes. Would I have listed my blocked bidders? No...but James did & I'm sure that he now regrets that. We all make mistakes & in my opinion, that's just what James did. And as far as remembering why someone is blocked from bidding -- I have fifteen blocked bidders & with the exception of four of them, I couldn't tell you why the others are blocked or even if I personally have had any dealings with them...nor do I care. They made it onto the list for some reason -- MY reason -- whether you or someone else thinks that reason is good or bad. It doesn't mean that they're bad people or even bad buyers, just that there's been some problem in the past whether with me or with someone that I respect. And quite honestly, this hobby is a lot of fun for me & the more "difficulty" that I can separate from this hobby, the more I enjoy it.

For what it's worth, I'm not defending James nor do I think that he needs defending. I'm just trying to present the way that I saw what happened which seems to be different than maybe the way that some others saw it.
