“Advertising public auctions are legal and permitted on this board. Pass it on.”

When I was a Union steward I learned what the difference was between being legally correct and morally correct. You can be legally correct in doing something yet morally wrong in doing so.

“There are many strike seekers that find improperly listed auctions as you do. “

You seem to have a lot of intelligence and yet little common sense. You point out these hidden auctions that some collectors are able to find and maybe get them at a bargain price. I have noticed that once you post them on the BB they mostly bring market value or higher. I think you would be helping the hobby more by allowing some of the “many strike seekers” to get these at a bargain price rather than the money going to a seller who doesn’t know enough or care enough to place his item in the proper category.

“If you were nice instead of Mr. Nasty I may refrain from posting any auctions in which you are involved.” On the other hand would this be fair to other bidders?”

If a dog is barking and unfriendly toward you wouldn’t it be better to do something to try to get along with that dog rather than beating it with a stick and telling the dog “Now you be nice to me and I won’t beat you with the stick anymore.” I think if you took the fisrt step and refrained from posting auctions in which he is involved he would have little reason to "bark" at you and I certainly would have to side with you if he did.

As far as being “fair to other bidders.” When did it become your responsibility to bring these auctions to their attention?

Just my opinion
