I also felt that he was very manipulative - often lying, or telling sob stories about his life after being caught in a lie, reneging on card deals, advertising his cards while posing as if he was searching for advice, etc. Plus, he was dominating the boards with his endless posts.

All in all, it was about time that he left, and maybe that isn't stooping to someone's level - you didn't retaliate to his insults or anything. But thanks for standing up for everyone on the board - it will be better for the entire community in the long run, and for Adrian, as well.

He had some good whiny stories about his childhood, but I believe he was full of it. Mostly lies. Reminded me of Jon Lovitz.

While some of us wished that he’d just go away

He did try that once in post seven five one
The yelling had stopped although no one had won

He quickly returned on that very same day
And then, true to form, he had something to say

Intensified rants were his true tour-de-force
The yelling resumed and we all knew the source

He stepped up his game when attacking the board
While making an illness his own shield and sword

Our members revolted, their numbers did swell
The yelling got louder; we all know too well

Quite furious posts while exposing his soul
When making his point with the tact of a troll

Truly, I'm glad that new days have begun
The yelling has stopped and our forum has won

P.S. Leon, thanks. You have the patience of Job. I truly appreciate everything you do for the hobby. In my opinion, your contributions go far beyond this board. And you do one hell of a job here, too, by the way. Just my opinion.

A fine ballad. I tip my hat to you.

It'd be kinda funny if all of his current auctions on ebay were re-negged upon by the buyers because they changed their minds...I wonder if Adrian would be ok with that?!

Negative feedbacks need to be reinstated to protect buyers and sellers.

Peter / Pete-
I am a novice with eBay and relatively new to this board too. Plus I'm just plain curious. So I have spent the better part of the day searching his user ID on eBay and looking at his feedback and current listings. I am not finding anything about problems with recent transactions. The curiousity is now occupying every minute of my day at work and I will not accomplish anything productive today unless I figure out how to sleuth this kind of info through eBay. Is there something in particular I am missing when searching that User ID?
Thanks,
Andy

Off topic, but right now, it looks like you cannot even leave "negative" feedback for a non-paying bidder on ebay. When you open the nonpyament case on ebay, it automatically removes any feedback that the buyer has left already. And when the case is closed, the seller cannot leave any feedback also. It used to be that you could leave "positive" feedback, but still put in the comments that the buyer did not pay as a warning to other sellers.

Maybe Eric can follow up with a poem about the state of ebay.
