Thank you for killing my auctions

Thank you VERY much for screwing up my auctions.
I go in today to see that ALL of my items have bids, CRAZY bids on them, I know you think you are real funny with this however what you have done is to force a single dad to go onto welfare. You will be paying for it so, congrats on what you did.
I have reported this to E-bay and pulled the user information. It seems that while the e-mail info is from AOL the USER name also matches Mr Bonds information. I know you thought it was real cute to do this and I assure you I will seek legal means of dealing with this.
I think it is very childish for you to go ahead and run auctions like mine in an effort to screw them up and then to out bid everyone on my auctions, to try and screw them up.
I must also add your e-mailing my bidders in an effort to have them cancel their bids as well.
I was innvited to this board due to what some considered a problem which, as Travis stated, nothing was illegal with my auctions, they were fair in the descriptions.
Regardless of that, I tried to work with you and make this a peaceful thing for all of us. I needed not to do that. I owed this board and collectors anything but, I tried.
I re-worded my ads to try and please most of you and, while I know this was not done by most and, I won't hold it against most, it still has happened.
I think that stunts like this is what can truly kill a hobby. Now that users shall see what has been done and, shall read the addition to my auctions showing just what "club" is responsible, many won't want to get into a hobby that has so many childish, spiteful people in it.
I know you may not have agreed with my auctions but, you are not God, nor are you e-bay. Many like to think they own e-bay, some even call themselves the "E-bay police" that is sad, truly sad.
I can only hope that after you read this, perhaps the good folks out there in this hobby can try and teach the other's some values in life. I never cheated anyone, I never told them "Hey this is worth a million bucks, buy it for $10"
What I did do is list some items up for sale to earn some money. Maybe this is all a game for you but, my children eat from this. It is not a game for me, nor a hobby, it is a living. How would YOU like it if I went to YOUR work and got you "fired" because Isimply felt like it? I think we all know.
It is ever so easy to hide behind a keyboard and act like God and destroy folks since you don't see what you have done, in this case, you just might since the news teams seem to love to run stories about nightmares like this on e-bay./ I am sure this site and this site and this hobby will draw a lot of attention but, I doubt it will be the type you like to get,
Thanks guys,
I tried, I was one of the only ones that did,
