I had hoped that was all over with, but maybe not.

i've only known one long time board member that worked for ebay/paypal, he moved from the east coast out west to work for them. not sure if we're talking about the same person, but he doesn't work there anymore. he also doesn't seem to be the type to pull auctions just because he had a disagreement on the board (i don't think he's even in that dept).

Quan, you might as well cut bait, but...

...to satisfy your quest somewhat, I will say this - given some other interactions with this guy, he just seemed to have a devilish streak in him. Nothing generally hugely malicious, but I'm certain he enjoyed getting people riled up. I should have ignored him. I didn't, and he struck. No surprise, but I obviously can't allow that to be a trend.

Some can. That is a fact.

Yep. My story wasn't a hypothetical - it was a fact.

Absolutely, Scott!

We have an idea who these one or two people are.

Unfortunately, as they say, it's not what you know, but what you can prove.

Before Ebay allowed me to start listing again, I had to take a 13-Question test (a tutorial).

My opinion on the test I took; it was a bunch of crap!!!!!
