Hi all. I would have posted sooner but I have been ill. So here goes the truth behind my suspension from Bidville.
Like many other people, I had sent several emails to support on various topics over my months there. Not once did I get a response which is typical unless you are one of a select few. Among my thoughts was the fact that even non registered users could gain access to the email addresses of members by clicking on their auctions. I pointed out that this was open door for spam artists.
I also as did many others expressed my displeasure with the methods that the administration notified (or better yet REFUSED) to notify the membership in whole of policy changes.
My last day on Bidville had me post a question of what people thought of yahoo WAREHOUSE (not the auctions since it is illegal there to talk about AUCTION sites)
The post was removed. When I posted asking where my post was, it too was removed. At that point I called Ed Orlando what he is, an IDIOT knowing I had no further interest in being a part of Bidville so I expected and welcomed the suspension. Some thought I lost my temper. To the contrary I did and got exactly what I wanted.
The Prez has shown himself to be what he is since I see several other threads about other auctions currently being posted to on Bidville.
THAT BEING SAID, with the few exceptions of low class people that are on Bidville (and everywhere else in society), there are a ton of great people on Bidville. It is not their fault that the Ed Orlando is an IDIOT. These folks have put alot of time and effort into their auctions and I hope they do well IN SPITE of Ed Orlando the IDIOT. Folks like Hillbilly, JB and others have more class in their little toe than the IDIOT has in his body. I wish them the best and I hope to see them elsewhere down the road. I was proud to be able to conduct business and friendship with them.

Balls it's good to see you posting again. I saw on Bidbay you were ill. You are correct about a few users at Bidville. Not all are trash. You were kicked off the site because ProzacPrez could not deal with your intelligent questions. The fact that your thread was removed and several there now are left standing prove that Prez has bias and the rules only apply to those he chooses to push them on. Don't sweat it. You were too good for that place anyway.
The waters continue to crash over the edge. The only thing keeping the good ship afloat were the thousands of nickel sportscards used as liferafts.

Howdy! Balls, I also seen where you had been sick. Wish you the speediest recovery. Thanks for the good words, I do appreciate them. I just have to say that what goes on between you and Bidville and the PREZ is your business. I am a hobbiest first, and you are an excellent buyer & seller. You get anything that you think I may be interested in just e-mail me at [email protected]
I collect Derek Jeter, Peyton Manning and my son Griffey Jr. and Chipper Jones. Yes! Tempers do flair at Bidville. That is why I wish the boards and auctions could be seperated. T.J. Kitchens was suspended also, and he and I did business together all the time. We still do business. But it is the PREZ'S ship and I am one of the crew so I have to go by the guidelines or walk the plank. I have worked hard at Bidville building a customer base and so on. I have learned to put a muzzle on my mouth when I get angry. Wish you the best with your new store. Take care, Hillbilly

Welcome back Balls. I agree with your assessment of the King, er I mean the Prez, and BV in general. There are a lot of great folks overs ( especialy HB & JB ) but a also a few mean & nasty ones, but like you said, that same scenario plays out all throughout our society. The purge of the Devil's Advocates is now almost complete without only a handful of rebels or free thinkers left in the Ville.
