HankronLee, as already noted, I find the description troublesome, and anyone who writes a troublesome description should expect some heat. Anyone who uses 'premium' and 'cut from a publication' to describe the same item would be naive not to expect, at the least, raised eyebrows.
Having said that, I agree that this board isn't always civil (especially if they aren't regular posters) and that private communication with James would have been desirable. I know that I would prefer a private email if ever anyone else found something I did particularly objectionable-- giving me the chance to make amends. I'm a gossip as much as anyone else, and will point the finger of blame uncivility-wise no further than to me.
