Why is shill bidding so bad?

Scott,

I don't need to sleep with Ryan. We both have wives. That sort of thing would be more your bailiwick. I will say, however, that my wife has bigger balls than you do. Of course, so do my fish.

Its kind of funny. You profess to be Mr. First Amendment when it suits your purpose. However, that proclamation is only good when you are trying to gore someone else's ox. You don't like it at all when it gets directed back at you. Why does the word "hypocrite" come to mind?

By the way, you never answered my question about whether you'd ever bailed on an eBay auction in favor of a friend. Since I'm omnipotent, I'm going say, hmmmmmm . . . yes. But, since I'm omnipotent, I'm sure that you only did it once, that you learned your lesson, and that you won't ever repeat the mistake. After all, opting not to bid on a card in favor of a friend would make you a collusive fraud, especially if you did it more than once. We can't have that. It might cause you to fall off your pedestal and sprain your tongue.
