I have never met nor have any relationship with Nash - have found some of what he has published valuable, disturbing and a darker side of my hobby that I appreciate being aware of. I also read what is his with caution because I have seen the frequent mixing of exaggeration with facts. I don't know you either - have great respect and appreciation for your creation and moderation of this board - a truly incredible hobby resource.
A point of information - I have not "continually" claimed I have my doubts about the fake poster being Nash - I stated I have not seen or heard anything in this or other threads that leads me so quickly to that conclusion. Could it be - ABSOLUTELY. When there is some amount of evidence other than opinion I will be at the front of the list of people suggesting Nash to "man up" and post as himself or keep his mouth shut. I also wouldn't be "shocked" if it were him nor that he is on here.
What I highlighted in my previous post is what I understand to be the facts - there was a post made with some accusations by someone who used a bogus registration (to me if it was Nash or not is almost irrelevant). The response that Rob made 1) didn't address the accusation(s) at all, 2) responded with an assumption and commentary on who made the post that sidesteps the accusation(s). I would appreciate hearing facts relevant to the accusation - not facts to discredit the possible accuser. REA IS an auction house. Rob Lifson is a PERSON who posted who happens to own the REA auction house - I believe he is as entitled as anyone else according to the rules of this forum to raise questions, state facts, complain about his experience with Nash or anyone else for that matter, etc. as long as he keeps it civil - why the suggestion of that seems like "idiocy" to you is a bit puzzling to me.....but you too are entitled to your opinion.
Thank you for this board and the opportunity to have this and many other dialogues and posts that I have been a part of, learned from, and shared in.

Nice response Howard. As you know from being on the board it is truly an open venue. I have information that 100% puts Nash on this board, more than once, as an impostor. I have kicked off at least a few aliases, almost assuredly him, in the last few days.
And yes, I will still stick to my comment of idiocy when it comes to having REA start their own forum (which of course they or anyone can do). But to me, it would be like saying your new car is a lemon, and you are complaining, so you should build one yourself. There is no reason to re-invent the wheel in most cases. I respect and appreciate your response though. It is the best way to debate things (civilly and politely). Also, there is no doubt there is some truth in what Nash says. It is intertwined with his vast imagination though. It is a shame he hides behind aliases while doing it. Thanks again and As I told someone yesterday, I can't imagine living like that.....but to each their own....LL
