This of course doesn't mean that *everyone* will be unable to conduct business with *everyone*.
Which of course is not the claim that I made.
Alright. I don't really understand why you're highlighting that you "would check carefully to see that you hadn't employed a shill on an auction of yours".
You better believe I would, because you've demonstrated that you don't know how auctions work and once you've learned the hard way that bidding on your own auction with your own name isn't tolerated, the next thing to do would be to have a member with a different username do it.
This is completely normal in various auctions, but not in bitcointalk auctions -- which I learned back then.
Please give some examples of auction sites/auction houses where a person can place a bid on his own auction if he thinks the price isn't high enough (or for whatever reason).
You have the tools to work against potential abusers, which there are not too many, because who would go against someone with a gun? I'm with no gun, so Vod can currently freely misuse his position against me.
Are we both on bitcointalk here or what? This forum is rife with abuse, potential abuse, you name it--and there are many who couldn't care less about the trust system here because as I mentioned, there are many people here who don't even check people's trust feedbacks or just ignore them.
You might have called me intellecually dishonest, but I think you're intellectually
challenged based on everything you've written here.
