Vic,
I've never traded with you that I can remember, so I don't have any experience to speak from. However, I've heard plenty of stories and watched your posts responded to with warnings from people who have dealt with you.

It looks to me like if you really want to mend your reputation and continue to trade on this board you should do three things:

1. Address the grievances of those who claim you wronged them. Come to an agreement with them and make things right. Wouldn't it be worth it to end the assault you face each time you show up here? Forget who's right or wrong in the situation--just bite the bullet and do whatever it takes to fix it.

2. Apologize for using bad judgement with the photo that you posted recently. Understand that everybody has their own idea of what they think is offensive and that photo crossed the line for some. It was out of place here and you should own up to the fact that it was wrong to post it.

3. For all subsequent trades offered on the board, at least until your reputation is mended, offer to mail your chips to your trading partner first. Let your trading partner receive and examine your chips and then mail their chips to you. It couldn't delay your trade more than a few days.
