shootalot,
Up until your most recent post, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt and assuming you were a good person that was just not taking the time to fully think through some of the perspectives that others were trying to share with you. Your most recent post is concerning as it indicates a childish attitude as well as narrowmindedness and lack of consideration for others and is not at all consistent with the theme of the forum. Hopefully, you are really not like that and you are just overreacting in a manner that is projecting that poor image. If you are not so angry and upset and are able to read and think objectively and try to appreciate the views of others, I would suggest that you take a few deep relaxing breaths and read through this complete thread from the beginning and try to look at the issue from the perspective not of someone that is just trying to sell an item, but from the perspective of people with a common interest trying to communicate and SHARE information without the selling / personal gain agenda being the dominant factor.
Certainly by now you realize that what you were doing was not a small issue but rather a large one, and while it still may seem like a small issue to you, the reality is that some of us would like to think that the forum is a place where we can share information purely in the interest of doing the good deed of sharing information with others that have a common interest and enjoy the OPEN manner in which issues are discussed. While obviously you did not initially realize how much your approach violated that concept, and I can understand that, given the proliferation of auction sites, would hope by now you might at least have some doubts about the position you assumed on THIS site. And again, since you appear to be so upset that it is difficult seeing things from other perspectives, try to apprecate that the reason you are seeing such responses from the administrator is that he/she is someone that has contributed a great deal of time and effort to this forum and none of us like to have someone destroy something that we have devoted a lot of ourselves to and believe is something good. Again, just try to appreciate that your vantage point or perspective may not be the only one and sometimes may not be the correct one.
