Canvid, your thread about challenging Meg to a debate was spam. YOU are the only one here with an affiliation. This thread has nothing to do with you, yet you are trying to derail it and use it to advertise your debate.
I know how your mind works. You see this thread as competition. You're afraid it will take away your audience for the debate you are advertising later this week. You wish to either stop this discussion, or turn it into blatant self-promotion.
This behavior of yours has evidenced itself since I've known you. You have nothing but contempt for the online auction industry. You don't want sellers to improve their lot, because you think that means less profit for you. Not only have you contributed nothing to this discussion, but are now actively trying to derail it.
I only wish you would get a clue as to what harm you are doing your business by harassing this forum. You were kicked out of here once for spamming, also from OTWA just a couple of weeks ago for the same thing. All we can do is wait until AuctionPie crashes and burns, so you will crawl back into the woodwork and stop bothering people here.

Thanks stusi ... I thought by SPAM you may have been referring to personal insults that seem to permiate many of these threads.

Canvid, there are many ways you could have chosen to appear to auction users. A news/education site, like TAG or AuctionBytes. An organizer, such as with Million Auction March or Online Sellers Co-op. Instead you chose the model you would have us most despise: Owner of a wannabe auction site.
In the months you've been spamming chat forums to advertise your site, you've never once offered a positive suggestion. Apparently you would have us believe that is too secret to discuss publicly. Yet you have not hesitated to attack, attack, attack. You've attacked eBay, the co-op movement, and OTWA (the biggest auction chat site). The topic of your "debate" is just one example. You criticize but offer no constructive solution of your own.
I have given you umpteen chances in this thread to make ONE SINGLE positive contribution or suggestion. Yet all you've done is make snide remarks at other posters. Your only goal here is to derail constructive discussion.
You don't have the emotional maturity to run a lemonade stand, let alone an auction site. Your endless self-promotion amounts to a hill of bull.

twinny, you don't "GIVE" me anything.
You are just another user as I am.
I have not spammed. I have endured a lot of nastyness from yourself, Stusi, and a few others on this board.
I suggest you use some of your comments to furthering the efforts of your own co-op board.
Some would say your attack posts are simply sour grapes and/or jealousy.
You had a chance to work with others but chased them away with your ability to completley disregard the truth.
I have not spammed in this thread or any other. I have not pitched our product or shared its benefits or otherwise.
Stusi, if you can get me permission from Henry Gomez, VP Communications at Ebay, I will happily forward his email to you.
Again, I see almost 3 pages of attacks on me instead of any debate. I saw a few lame posts but that's about it.
Stusi you also attacked when we had a paid banner here on AW.
From what I see Stusi, Twinny, and a few others have grudges against me. They attack me regularily here. Twinny is a bit more creative and attacks on other boards too.
Do you think you can conduct any converstation or debate when you act like this? If you don't like me or my company why not simply not post in any thread that is related to myself? Especially when I start the thread?
Folks if you are not a part of the solution you are part of the problem.
It's really simple and really clear.
Jamie

What's to be jealous about? So far it's been all spam and no substance.

Let's see. First you jumped in to suggest this discussion take place on your site. Then you made several posts about how you didn't approve of the format. (IOW, you actively tried to prevent this discussion.) Then you started making personal comments about other posters. You offered no input, although you were politely invited to do so. Now you're singing the familiar old song that people are ganging up on you.
Face it, that debate you've been advertising - challenging Meg Whitman to come to your site - is nothing but smoke and mirrors. Of course you knew all along Meg has no interest in your site, so your use of her name (trademark) to promote AuctionPie is clearly a rip-off. She ought to sue your ass. Perhaps your own time would be better spent working on AuctionPie (which still isn't open for business) and not stealing other people's hard work.
Your site doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of success, and in my opinion anyone who joins might as well flush $24.95 down the toilet.

Jamie- please refresh my memory about my "attack on your paid banner". Do you really think you need permission from Ebay to post their response here? Did they say it was confidential? "Folks if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem"----- do you really think that you have been part of any solution? Why don't you just go observe this thread as you said, and find some creative ways to keep bringing your thread to the top.
