I was trying to give you an opportunity to save face by messaging you privately before I made a post over it. I guess it was my mistake thinking you would have calmed down a bit and thought this through, instead you proceed to pre-emptively rip your own face off so I can't do it. Mission accomplished?
Also I told you not to contact me further in private because I am not naive enough to believe you would see that this was an overreaction, and any further replies of mine would easily be taken out of context and blown out of proportion... pretty much exactly what you just did.
It is irrelevant if you think 1 second (it was actually 2 seconds BTW) was a big deal. Offering an auction is a formation of a contract, one that is activated upon the first bid. You deciding to arbitrarily extend the auction time limit is in violation with your agreement of the bidders. This is what I was politely trying to warn you about, instead you turned a friend into an enemy, and completely exposed yourself. Good job.
yes right... ok, it was only one second on the timestamp, and that user even said he clicked on post before the time was up, yes I should have put on "no sniping" or even questioned it, I even asked you if you have never made a mistake? I made a call on MY auction, I err'd on the side of the internet and I had no problem reversing the situation, as I have all ready posted the goods out to the "real" winner
but you have missed the point of this thread entirely, you threatened me to remove your rep, I had to explain the whole situation here so people were caught up properly, why not talk it over and message me calmly instead of the short temper burst, that's why this is here, another user asked me to remove rep on the thread, but when I logged on, I read that and your PM at the same time so I did not remove it.
as you say, good job.
I see, so now I have to explain how time and time zones work? If the last second you can bid is 7:59, where did that extra second come from?
0. 7:59
1. 8:00
2. 8:01
Also the fact you read my message as well as the request to remove the rating at the same time is an artifact of you living in the UK while I live in the US. I guess that is my fault too right?
You can still turn this around buddy. Or keep doubling down. I don't really care. Either way in the end your rating will mean nothing.
