Peter, I don't know what in the hell just happened but I read the above verbiage you posted and started feeling a bit dizzy. Next thing I know I'm on the ground with a bump on my head -- and my wallet was gone!

I felt safe reading the whole thing because my wallet is already empty.

Default Something to read

The reason the catalogs and descriptions go on forever is to give you something to read as the auction drags out until 5 in the morning.

Jeff there is no way you read that whole description before you got sick. Impossible.

Jim, if you don't like reading about obvious fraud in our hobby I would suggest averting your eyes. And I'm really sorry if I annoyed you; I'd hate to have funked up your chi. I'll make you a deal though: when the fraud stops, I'll stop.

Jeff,
I believe my post was about the bitching about verbose auction catalog write-ups. If on your own self-reflection you found that the comment may have had relevance for the way you make accusations of fraud, so be it. I will leave it to you to figure out your own "chi" on that one - whatever it is you mean by that.
JimB
P.S. I appreciate you trying to push my buttons with the "chi" reference, but FYI, uninformed random remarks that pull any old term from any old Asian religion and display a clear lack of understanding of the traditions, only make you look silly at best.

Jim, I assumed you were being critical of me because you've routinely blasted me in the most passive-aggressive manner about my daring to discuss Goodwin's ridiculous auction results. When you were critical again here, I assumed it was yet another passive-aggressive attempt to deflect me. I am forever shamed by this error I may have made.

As for chi, I'll have you know that I'm a big Duke basketball fan and Shane Battier once scored 27 points against Maryland -- then his career high. After the game he credited his offensive breakout to the inner strength — or chi — of the Shaolin monks of China. So if Shane Battier can mix sports and chi, so can I.
