Cheers, I had arranged to pick it up this weekend. I'm not about to harass Ned. At the end of the day it's just another turd trying it on. No big deal. I only posted in his thread so people who don't know Ned, can make an informed decision if they decide to have dealings with him.

gets disgusting now, i am afraid to say.
guess ppl were kind enough to offer some room of generic forgiving,
not because what he's done or at least trying was forgivable thing.
he seems missing a big point—at least guessing from his last 'upsetting' comment.
ppl were nice i guess they were just nice.
they (or we) just believe some good side of humanity and,
i dare to say, dignity or integrity that has some self-recovering power
regardless the size of depth of the mistake once one at least tries so.
very unfortunately, he doesn't seem taking things that way.
it's like it's ok because no harm was done? no way.
and it was done because he was bothered by lowball offers? no way.
it's not ok, because he was not honest at how he was selling something.
regardless the result of the attempt.
if bothered by lowball offers, he should have told them f** off or not have dealt with it.
fraud description of an item to punish lowball offer? come on.
asking a poll to see whether he should leave or not? shameless.
getting upset on critical comments? shameless
we, at least i, don't care whether you leave somewhere or not.
i don't care what's your intention of fraudulent sales or what's the result of it.
i'd agree someone's mention above. it seems fairly simple black and white.
sales would have been done successfully if it had not caught on the way.
whether the buyer fell for it or not, doesn't change the fact and doesn't justify the attempt.
shamelessness. dislike.

Well, I wouldn't say that. Regardless of when he joined, he still has some good points, and so do you. I agree, man up, forgive andmove on.

not sure what my join date does in the context.
however, if you felt like i was trying to lead anything here: i was not.
if i didn't catch an unspoken rule of the forum on leading things—that might be endorsed by the amount of time spent since join date, then sorry.
no intention of debate on it, to be clear.
i will be careful myself going forward, in many ways.
thanks

Ozneddy,
You came clean, no one got stuck with a fraudulent purchase. And you don't need to dismiss yourself from the C&V forum. Just remember, you can't justify your actions by the personal loss you went through. It's like giving into it, and ultimately lose.
You are well aware of the the *****storm of personal loss and crisis I went through in 2012 and spilling into 2013. That alone should make you feel relieved a bit. At least you're not me.
But I've found the will to survive and not let it change who I am. The reassurances of good folks and friends reminded me of that. If you are responsible of personal mistakes, hold yourself accountable to them and move on and grow. Don't become bitter. Life is too short.
See you on the forum!

Ozneedy, you screwed up. The self righteous will rattle their swords and those that take joy in beating a dead horse will do so for a time. Forgiveness allows one to free themselves from a wrong done by others; it is now time to move on and rebuild.

I was recently burned by a BF member. I'm not angry, just disappointed. I'm letting it go, but I might feel differently if a larger sum of money was involved.
