To all of you that seem concerned about Garr using a sockpuppet account: I was refreshing this thread constantly when Inaba accused Garr of using a sockpuppet account to post and I never saw that happen. I think Inaba photoshopped the image he used. Think about it a minute. Who constantly snap screenshots so fast that they could catch a posting that couldn't have been here for more than a few seconds.
+1
There's enough evidence here suggesting that the quote and screenshot are fake that, if I were theymos, I would deny any request regarding the authenticity of the post.
This is absurd.
The original post from Werner's account was made at 3:03. Removed sometime between then and when Garr255 posted it on the correct account at 4:04:
I did not request a refund. If you refund me, I expect the full amount of BTC I paid to be refunded. If you are able to do this I will gladly take my business elsewhere, because believe it or not you have competition now
You'll get the full amount you paid in USD, since that's how our products are priced.
As a point of fact, you did request a refund, let me quote you:
but your business operations and ethic are both unacceptable.
You find them unacceptable, I understand. We will cut ties and move on and you no longer have to deal with the unacceptable (to you) business nature. We do not want to force you into a position where you are must deal with an unacceptable situation, so we are removing that roadblock from your happiness. I'm done here, your refund will be processed by COB tomorrow.
I think you're misunderstanding my logic. Take Apple Computer for example. A company that produces an admittedly good product, but not in the most ethical way. I am open about how they shouldn't employ FoxConn for their assembly etc, but they do it anyway, and I live with it.
My intentions are not to anger anyone, or disrupt my business relationship with BFL. I just want to promote honesty, and discourage the opposite.
Give me truth and I'll give you peace. Most people think that's simple enough.
Then Inaba posted less than 2 minutes later with the screenshot:

Hahaha... post with the wrong sock puppet account there, sport? Epic!
*EDIT* - For those of you who may have missed it, Garr just accidentally posted with his Werner account and then deleted the post and reposted with Garr when he realized he screwed up.
Yes, truth indeed. Truly epic.

So the time is incredibly tight. Are you trying to suggest that Inaba pulled off this photoshop in 2 minutes and managed to pick the otherwise random forum poster in this thread who coincidentally has multiple posts in his history that directly support and/or shill Garr255's auctions?
That all seems pretty unlikely.
