So the Zionist ramblings are gone, the links no longer exist...

I might not have rid ebay of the a-hole but at least I seem to have cleaned it up a little!
What do you mean the Bass is too loud???

Good job, Bob!

Incidentally, Ron, the auction you mention above and the one I was referring to are two different auctions, and I got them confused in my remarks about Graham above. His auction has been dissected in another thread. I believe the Emperor won the auction I am referring to...

I never forget the forwarded E Mails that (one of the two) Emp sent out to someone here. He,(or they) are very hateful.

Nate; I do not.

Since you are under 18, I'm not sure if I could have legally sent them to you anyway. That's how bad they are..

I saw those emails too...John Hall forwarded them to me and a couple of other who posted in a thread in the bass forum regarding the emporer.

I don't have them now, but basically they were ramblings of racial hatred including some sick pictures.

I used to have a laugh at his ebay auctions and didn't realise there was any significance in the lawn jockey thing...I've never heard of them here in England...but as it turns out ,he is a serious racist.

I can't remember his exact words, but he also thinks Rickenbackers and their owners suck!

A loser in every aspect!

Having grown up in the southern USA, I knew what the lawn jockey symbolized as soon as I saw it and I knew that if he was putting those in his ads, he was a racist. I think I was one of the first to point out that he was using them in his ads and it's nice to see he has been exposed for the moron he is.

I encountered enough racism, both toward friends of mine who were people of color, and to myself, as a "Yankee", that it is more than I can stand to see people like him propegate this garbage on Ebay.

Also, if you look at his other auctions, it consists of a lot of military items, uniforms, weapons, etc. I wonder if he plays dress-up at home and imagines himself as a REAL emperor.

Anyway, I don't care if this guy had a redneck, a blackstar, a 8-string, a 4002, whatever, I WILL NOT BUY FROM HIM. Period. I've seen those emails, and I got sick in my stomach reading them, not to mention that his information is completely incorrect, but the intent was enough to make me ill.
