I must have missed all the action. Was there alcohol involved or just the usual high tension?

Take out the Ric Flair nonsense out of what I wrote and you can get an idea...  Just delete all the stuff I wrote in caps.  He was the one that made mention of mowing lawns, and wives and spanking kids. 

I would post the screen cap but that would get me in trouble since someone / mods deleted it.  However, I did take a screen shot of it for posterity. It was a good one.

Ummmmm-kinky?

Yeah,I can make that kinky.

There was also some definite thread crapping. Seller got pissed off and started making ridiculous comments.

Law students.  Bah.

Zeus was I lucky that I was on a break from comics during my law student years or I probably would've been run off the boards.

Well, that, and also the fact that my time in the 'factory' pre-dated the interwebz by more than a decade.

I wonder if he realizes hows many lawyers are on this forum.

I am surprised you can find time to post here, what with the impending litigation and all.

Get to hitting the law books, sonny.

While thread-carping in sales can get you a wrist slap, this community, especially among those of us more active in selling and buying here, accepts that thread-carping is acceptable when drawing attention to questionable posts, especially guarding against possible misrepresentation of books.

And until lizards2 has a - show like mine, he’s just playing tiddlywinks. Somewhere in that thread, a detective is still tracking my whereabouts.

I think the first step is to always send a PM to the seller. If that is ignored, then I can see it. There was also more than that going on.

Our firm would appreciate you wearing pants more often than you do.

First and only comment about this being addressed outside of my sales threads.

I posted a low grade (G+) spider-man 2 with tears, water damage, and creases throughout the book. A member publicly alleged that it had restoration (pieces added, color touch, and more) that no reasonable person could claim. There were even pictures of the splash page and front cover with no bleed through.

I deny that it has any restorations. I am familiar with restoration and detection methods. It was purchased from a reputable convention-only (no online) dealer in the South East a few years ago.

Public service announcement: The comment satisfied all elements for cause of action on a libel suit except for proof that the comment was false. I'm sure receiving a blue label from CGC would qualify and they could potentially be dragged into litigation. Unfortunately, at this point in my life, time and money are more valuable to me than petty online banter.

Then some other person comes into my sales thread and attempts to make fun of the way that I described and marketed a book. This book was purchased on auction for 10% over FMV because of its outstanding eye appeal. I suppose that those CVA stickers don't mean anything either.

EDIT: Can someone come direct me who I talk to about moderation? I reached out to "Architect" and it seems like he is inactive.

Somehow I missed this. 

You might find out that in real life when you try certain things that you bite off more than you can chew.

 

And as you, @Bejack3, continue to come to the boards, I am sure that you will see this.

My favorite was the law student’s complete lack of understanding of libel.

Book graded from CGC, had restoration and I will own that. Resto was not disclosed to me at the time of purchase but I am temporarily transitioning out of comics so no use going down that rabbit hole. I will discontinue selling raw books on here.

[comicdonna]

I wonder if Lizards will receive an apology?

It’s too late for that.  As you commanded, many of us already banged our significant others, mowed the lawn, and spanked a whole bunch of bratty kids.

Now what are we supposed to do?
