Even if you didn't take as a racist statement, it was pretty mean-spirited and unprovoked. Imus has pretty much always been a jerk.

If he had said "dizzy sluts" or "gangly war pigs", I'd have been Ok with that, but nappy-headed hos is outrageous! The nerve of him!

The only thing that they have to complain about is the "hos" part. I'm sorry, but if you do a google search for "nappy" you will see 3 websites on the first page alone that are run by black women touting the "Nappy headed woman" So they are themselves using it as a descriptive adjective. If Imus had said Nappy headed women, there is nothing racist about it when blacks use the same words themselves. The only bad word in there is 'hos' which at most would be considered derogatory but as far as Nappy headed, if blacks can use it, why can't anyone else!!!

And why was the executive producer of the show not hunted down by Sharpton and Jackson? He started the ball rolling by calling them "hardcore hos" yet nothing was said or done to him (unless someone has something to the contrary).

I'm sorry but the black community brings most of this upon themselves. They go around producing comedy shows, music and tv spouting all of the racial slurs in the world, freely use it against each other, call their own black sisters hos. Yet if a white person says any of these words, they are considered racist.

Maybe they should take a look at themselves and what they do before calling the kettle "white".

And do not give in to his inevitable "let's do a mutual withdrawal" attacks. That's how Cougie is currently beating the system.

So, if you do have to soak up a negative, just wear it with pride. Every reasonable D&D collector on the planet knows that a neg. from Cougie carries no weight at all.

I know of at least three others off the top of my head:

harami2000
PM_Knight
Celmive

For some reason, I am thinking that gurret might also be on that list, but I am not 100% sure about him.

You guys should make yourselves a logo: "Burned By Cougar" or something like that.

I also got encouragement to ship using M-bags, although he DID say that I could ship to a US address, if all else fails. Don't know if that address is PayPal confirmed, though.

I sent off an email suggesting an amicable solution; if it doesn't work, I will be more than happy to post the ensuing emails here.

Wish me luck, folks. I am truly hoping he is a gentleman despite your warnings, and that we can both walk away from this with no harm done.

While it's true it appears Cougie operates at a loss, don't dismiss the M-Bag scam as a way to recoup some funds and make a few of the transactions pure profit.  While seeming to overpay for most items, all it takes is 3-4 shipments to "disappear" every year for Coug to save several hundred dollars on the purchase, plus all the money in his pocket when he resells the "lost" merchandise.  This cannot be underestimated as a boost to his bottom line.
