As I recall, you got upset that bclarkie declared the actual value of an item sent to you on a customs form, rather than misrepresent the value to save you some money. The exchange then degenerated into both of you flaming each other. Seems to me you had no cause to be so outraged.On the other hand, one of the main reasons I finally decided to register was that the tone of the board seemed to have mellowed over the last year or so, and I attribute that in part to the absence of some users with combative attitudes. Just my take.

He also was angry that I didn't professionally grade every item I sold. Selling and buying needed to be taken with the utmost seriousness and done his way. Came off as a total douche to me. I remember thinking if this is the kind of asshole that hangs out here I am not sure I want to be here as well and I left.
