Auctioneer bidding on the auctioned item is perfectly fine around the world in various auctions. It's a form of concealed reserve price.
I have never, never heard about auctions who allow a person auctioning an item to bid on it in order to set a concealed reserve price.    Again, do you have examples of auction houses that allow that?  Do they allow the person to withdraw their bid if someone doesn't bid above it?  

Reserve prices are usually concealed, and that's understandable.  What's inconceivable to me is that anyone would do it like you did when there are no rules set about such things by bitcointalk, and you did not include such a rule in your auction.  Bidding on your own items is NOT standard in the auction industry.

And you know what?  People made all the valid arguments I could possibly make about this already in this thread.  You messed up and were dishonest, you got tagged for it, and now you think it's somehow the fault of DT members who wield their power as a weapon.  Ain't so.
