We should figure out a strategy to gang up on that guy and get him permanently booted off e-bay.

No, Brian, it wouldn't be right for us to try to interfere with his First Amendment Rights...it's goofy, I know, but we Yanks take that clause in the Lease very seriously...lest some gang come and try to shut down our right to speak next.

That's why I'm in favor of the personally delivered 'Wedgie'...

Brian, I was thinking the same thing. The problem is that most people who read his ads are looking for guitars and not really caring about issues of a humanist bent.

eBay auction # 7369767253

Look at the lawn jockey, burning cross, "darkies dancing", monkey doll, etc.

Anybody who cares, complain to eBay.

This can e done from your "My eBay" homepage.

He told me that I and all my liberal friends better wake up before we find ourselves in a cattle car.

How's that for subtle???

Yikes. He's loony!!!!

I've woke (woken? waked?) up in a cattle car before...big deal...it made me more liberal, if anything...

It doesn't matter where you go looking, as long as you 'find yourself' at some point in the process. Were I a Hindu, I'd see The Emperor as needing quite a few more lifetimes to begin getting it right...that's assuming he doesn't drop down a few lifeforms after this one and have to work his way back up...

He might find himself in a cattle car standing on four legs...(What a 'singe'!!)

Sometimes I let outrage trump common sense...

EBay has very specific guidelines for their auctions, and as long as there is no profanity and the item is in its proper category with NO links to inappropriate material or surcharges, blah blah blah, they will do nothing, as the seller would have a First Amendment case against eBay if a listing was pulled. So, of course the 'Bay is the final arbiter of this.

Last time, his listing was pulled because of the link issue on his "about me" page. This time, it's only the photos and the nasty subtext.

Besides, he's a POWER SELLER!

Duh... and he's still not booted off?! isn't it against the law, uh?

He will wait a long time for satori.

Now let's talk FLAME THROWERS!!!

Not against the law in the Land of the Free and Home of the Bigot.

Oh... i've read the thread about "Dicing with [name]"... gosh... i tend to believe everybody's nice deep inside their soul, but... i hope he DOESN'T have children...

I try to believe like you do, Sheena, but it's not always easy...

"...everybody's nice deep inside their soul..."

The operative word in that statement is 'deep'...with some people, the 'niceness' is in there so 'deep' there's not enough light to see very well and it gets 'misplaced'...

Wonder if the "Sabre" guitar could be converted to left hand drive - my son might be interested in it!

I wonder how the Emperor puts those eBay ads together with only one hand. He's using his other one for Hitler salutes or.......

sowhat · Post by **sowhat** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 10:22 am

Oh please... let's talk about lousy guitars, not lousy people... 8-(
Aitch: well, maybe you could try to ask the "creator" huh?

No probs, Sheena. I guess we've given the emperor more exposure than he deserves....

Eh, back to the topic: have you seen this one?

Might be a Photoshop work, however...
