Rob, there is a certain logic to imposing the 100 post rule to all classifieds.

YES!!!!!!!

Rob Tat....Thanks.....I would think the same thing.  I sure wouldn't ship your what I wanted...but what YOU ordered...and if I did ship you what ever I wanted and was not what you ordered I would make it right.....or I wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

I've done alot of trading and selling on this site, getting alot of good advise, giving a little along with making some lifelong friends. I'm not one to jump to conclusions too soon but this whole thing stinks. A month and a half ago I was considering listing a couple of bows in the classifieds. I decided to wait and the next day my computer crashed and I was off line for the next two weeks. Sure was glad I didn't list them, all I could think about was getting dragged thru the mud because I was a dirty so and so for not responding to anyone. Things happen and I always try too make sure theres not a good reason for lack of communication. JMHO.

So whether you appreciate the work that members did here or not - makes no difference to me....

Just my 2 cents- whether you "appreciate" them or not

If what you have gotten out of any comments that were not already calling him a liar, cheat and so forth was that "we" don't appreciate what goes on around here is too bad and, IMO, totally off base. I don't think anyone here was implying that.

Well, apparently you feel either my comments or my interpretation of yours was "totally off base". Well- so be it. I do not think is was to much of a stretch for me to comprehend what was to me "implied" if not clearly stated in your post. If I misinterpreted that, then my bad.

The original purpose and intent of this thread was to I believe give updates to people who were apparently being clearly taken advantage of by this Ollis guy. And to give warning to any future victims. This was the way things appeared and the way they were going. We were trying to collectively flank him and head him off at the pass.

As time went on and more info was gathered, it was apparent that his behavior and our interpretation of that behavior, bore out that there was not admirable actions taken by this Ollis fella.

The only thing I ever tried to do with my actions and communications, was to both help my personal exposure with this guy and to help others who I also believed were being taken advantage of.

Ron Ollis was the one at fault here and the one that we were all collectively trying to quarentine. We were trying to circle the wagons for protection from outside the group.

Ya know....the more we know....and the more we investigate....it doesn't seem to matter.  We are accused of everything under the sun.

We will no longer try and protect the membership from folks that we investigate and find as rip off artists...not just folks that have computer crashes.

I'm tired of us working our butts off and finding out all we can to protect folks only to be accused of 'stinking'.  And in our efforts, WE are drug through the mud.

Trade at your on risk.  We are done with it.  Best of luck.  We will no longer warn anyone about anything.

Rob....take off all regulations of the classifieds....and let it run amuck.

ATTEN all Administrators....pay NO attention to the classifieds at all....don't waste any more of your time. Thank you for your efforts and diligence in the past, and on this instance.

Its a real shame that after being online for 8 years trying our best to run a respectable site that we are 'called out' for trying to protect folks. It beats all I've ever seen.
