Michael,

Fair enough. You did not link to the auction in question, or disclose the username of the seller. However, the original post was made by Andy Hughes, who placed a direct link to the seller's auction in his post. Although you started a new thread, it's really all one big discussion, and that's the problem I have with it.

Oddly enough, if you had started the thread, and posted the guy's description and chip photo, but NOT the Title, auction number or Username, I would have no problem with it at all. I don't mind the ethical discussion at all, what I do mind is having a casual viewer being just one click away from seeing who the alleged "scumbag" is. On most boards, the test is "could a viewer find the auction being discussed with a reasobale amount of effort? If not, go for it! If so, invite the guy before posting.
