I too thought the thrust of Larry's gripes were directed at Henry Yee. That doesn't make them right, and I have no beef with Henry, but there are several with expressed opinions on that seller--these can stand or fall on their own.
I can see where you might perceive Larry's last comment about bogus bidding and then reneging on your auctions as a threat, although the remark was somehat veiled and I personally didn't think he was threatening you. Frankly, any such action would be despicable, but would also subject the actor to legal problems, so it's not as if you would be completely unprotected, and there's nothing to say it can't happen anyway. That one remark, in my view, did not warrant banishment. Moreover, in all fairness, you called him a troll and called for his banishment before there was anything directed at you. Larry no doubt responded out of anger, and while I certainly don't condone threats, if that's what it was, I can understand why he might be miffed.
