Up until now, I have had a good time on this board. I have bantered with the best of you,I have insulted and been insulted, I have laughed so hard I have cried and cried so hard I have laughed. BUT I have enough professionalism to keep my business life separate from my personal life. I am totally offended that people here I have looked up my auction name, written my in my business email without my permission. Even on my worst best day on this board, I have NEVER asked anyone about their businesses on the auctions, sent emails to private addresses etc. I further would like to post that I am afraid of no one and if anyone here decides to harass me because of my policy, be warned of a storm warning, a catagory 10. I am no longer amused. And those of you who feel that you need to delve into my business on Ebay, you better take heed. I have spoken.

You can take it to the bank they are not threats and personally I am sick of your harassment of me on this board with you gifs etc. I plan to report you to the moderator for harassment if you do it again. You better back off and get a life.

BTW, KRS, I was talking to her in email about the time p-ru smacked me and I believe that I may have put those words in her mouth...however...she does not know what to call you unless her new found love assists her. And he BETTER not.

I was in a category 7 storm once. It was on cruise ship at the end of a Panamal Canal trip, shortly before we reached our disembarking destination of Acapulco. It was so rough that access to the ships's decks. were locked, and while formal dining wasn't cancelled, it was recommeded that passengers stay in their cabins for safety. It was Thanksgiving night, and one of the designated "formal dining" nights. All of us ladies were dressed to the nines and eagerly anticipating the night's festivities beginning with the "Captain's reception". For some reason, most of the men on board did not fare as well as the ladies. Most did not make it through the reception, and by the time it was time to dine, just about the only males in the dining room were the waiters and busboys, and even they were a bit green around the gills. We ladies had a fine time however, yukking it up and dancing the night away with the Captain and ships officers in the disco. By morning, when I returned to my cabin, there was broken glass and crockery everywhere, and some of the handrails in the hallways had even been wrenched away by people grabbing onto them during the violent lurching caused by the storm. What a wild and memorable night, and ranks as one of the most fun nights of my life. The moral of this story? None. Except what's a little rock and rolling compared to morning sickness?

Knew you'd come around, krs.
doggy, you said "BUT I have enough professionalism to keep my business life separate from my personal life." You do? It sounds, from your posts here and in the Moderators' Corner, that you have disclosed sufficient information in your "personal" posts to bridge the gap, thus commingling the two. That doesn't justify auction interference, but you haven't indicated that anything of the sort is occurring, or even threatened. Your auction email is not "private" to any other eBay user, and the simple act of contacting someone via email (apart from the content of the message) is not a violation of eBay rules, nor does it constitute harassment.
I don't know exactly what you mean by "storm warning, a catagory 10," but it feels like you're overreacting. We're not responsible for your indiscretions, and you can't draw arbitrary lines in the sand for anyone here. If someone violates eBay rules, contact eBay. If they use email to do it, contact their ISP.
The storm metaphor got me mildly interested, though. Does it mean we can look forward to seeing you huff and puff and blow things around here?

I was too, but in a flat bottomed ferry boat from Seattle to Ketchikan, AL in March. I had booked passage on the deck. It was a georgeous trip until the Queen Charlotte sound, where some 12 hours worth of open ocean had to be traversed. Everybody except the crew was barfing if they stayed inside, so I spent the whole time on the deck outside their observation room. I found that if I pulled myself to one side or the other of the ship I could take a little leap off the deck when it was on the upside of the roll of the boat and I would end up clear on the other side of the deck when it rose to meet me. My sideways jigs, laughing the whole time, brought everyone inside the observation area back to their sickness bags.
I spent all day out there, cold and soaked, but not seasick.

krs, if by the "too" you were implying that I thought he was ghosting her copy, you're mistaken. I don't. I believe activity is being coordinated, but think they're speaking in their respective adopted personas.

Artdoggy...you DID mention someones business site. Mine. It was in fun, but you still did it. You mentioned my feedback, you mentioned my name, but changed it to bingemoods. Still, it was enough that you were poking fun at my business, and not at ME, the poster. So, just wanted to tell you that you have done what you yourself are angry about.
edited to add that I cant prove it now, because AW womb'd the threads.
I don't deny the possibility that my suspicion is wrong. It's just a feeling based on what I've seen thus far. Anyway, it'll all be academic soon. artdoggy earned her formal warning last night. Next stop, the pound.

When you sell on a site like Ebay and then talk here on a board like Auctionwatch. People are going to figure out what your i.d. is on Ebay sooner or later. If they emailed your private address, block them out. If they harrassed you in anyway, report them to their ISP. If they have interfered with your auctions report them to the powers that are in charge over at Ebay and SafeHarbor.

artdoggy I have NOT emailed you nor interfered with any of your auctions, and never had any of those intentions in mind ever. So if your getting harrassed in email... you, I believe! , write to abuse@thierISP or something, and give them the whole email(s) and if you think someone is messing with your auctions, you could cancel any bid(s) or whatever you suspect, I THINK! and then you could of course go scream at the moderator here, oh wait, you've done that one.
Lighten up... has some really harrassed you or your auctions?

Yes, the pound. I bought a wife a Golden Retriever pup because she said "I want a dog of my own". I had in mind too to mate the two as magnificent issue would result. But Anna, as I named her, wandered. Henry never had, but he followed. Occasionally they would get arrested, even at my place way up in mountains, and I would say that those were times when Henry went to the slammer.
