WOW! Bad behavior is not corrected by more bad behavior. There are better solutions, I would think, than airing ones grievances in open forum. I understand feeling that you are beating your head against a brick wall, but my suggestion would be to write a Mod that is in charge of the Auction board. Keep writing them until your concerns are addressed. If they write back and choose not to address them it is their choice. They run the site and they can choose to run it as they choose to. We do not have to all agree but we do all have to accept what they choose to do. None of us want the rantings of the few, no matter if they are justified or not, to represent the many. It should be a process not a rant. OK, stepping down from my soapbox now.
