B/S/T Etiquette

I'm sorry you don't find it to be a worthwhile discussion. Based on your attitude, I'm not sure it would matter if it was anyway. You have no intention on seeing value in it. That's the beauty of a message board. You don't have to find a discussion worthwhile. You are absolutely free to move along and not read it or participate....

But here you are.

I did not say I can never learn; in fact, I learn something in this forum most every day– just not from you. I have no problem with making a legal point, supporting it and moving on, although again, here your “free legal advice”, while perhaps interesting to some in a general to abstract sense, is very unlikely to influence any activity on the b/s/t because the law is really not the issue and no one here is going to court. Nonetheless, saying it one or twice in a thread that could benefit from other relevant input is fine– but revisiting it over and over for days is, in terms you can understand, exceeding your page limits, counselor. We get it, point made, move on, or if not, please understand and hopefully appreciate that some here find legal wrangling at length to be stifling if not boorish.

And just as you say that I could or should ignore this thread, so too can you ignore my posts. The topic of etiquette and protocol in b/s/t does interest me-- I didn't begin reading it for no reason. However, since this thread has essentially little chance of addressing any further what I was hoping to be a discussion of etiquette and protocol, such as how to properly handle or clarify listings where multiple card discounts are offered (oops, I mean invited), I will wait for another one to emerge down the road.

Maybe you can't learn anything from me, but there have already been comments in this thread saying they have learned useful information regarding b/s/t activity, including the forum owner of the forum. So get off your high horse.

Second, I only posted in this thread in response to other posts. I did not come here and say the same thing over and over. I responded to specific posts with a specific response to that post. When someone repeatedly comes here and gives incorrect legal advice, just posting once and moving on does nothing to address the repeated posts containing inaccurate information.

But next time I am trying to figure out how many times I can post in response to someone else's post I'll be sure to ask the message board police what the post limit is. I assume you are the chief of that department?

Yes, please consider me the chief of the message board police, at least when it relates to you. Now that was easy, no?
