Deal didn't get "in a pretty doggone strong and safe position" or gain a "following" by embarrassing others, he got there by being a reputable dealer and knowledgeable tube seller.His post was not only a warning but also an effort to "incite" complaints to Ebay so that buyers would not get misrepresented tubes. Hardly inciting a "mob".
"Who really thinks the subject of this lynching is the only seller we might need to be concerned about, proven or not?"
So by this logic if you know of one ripoff artist you should keep it to yourself until you know *all* ripoff artists? Jeez.
Bullied? As explained in the OP Kevin Deal attempted to educate the seller but was rebuffed and blown off, and the seller is still misrepresenting what he's selling.

That's really not the point, is it? We're not talking about how he got into his position. The point is how he uses his powerful position in a needlessly condescending and embarrassing manner.
His post was not only a warning but also an effort to "incite" complaints to Ebay so that buyers would not get misrepresented tubes. Hardly inciting a "mob".
Don't get me wrong, as I am not by any means trying to defend faulty sales listings. And, fair enough, if you don't care for the word "mob," I'll give you that. But, there's no getting away from the inordinate "pile-up" that resulted upon the one individual. How would you like it if a pile-up were on you after a caustic double-post, even if you were responsible for a mistake? The community could have been just as well informed, and ebay could have been informed, in a way that was not so caustic. As I recall, when you report potential fraud to ebay, as I have done in another matter, there is no "dirtbag" option you can click on.

No, of course you don't have to keep it to yourself, and nothing I wrote suggested it should be kept to oneself until all "rip-offs" are known. I was pointing out a way to keep things in perspective, even if you can't prove other misconduct, which we know is surely out there somewhere. It gets back to the potential for unfairness when singling-out only one person while also getting back to the point of the MANNER in which things are done, which is a point that has been made abundantly clear.

Sorry, but I don't think of calling someone a "dirtbag" as a good educational tool for anyone concerned. Yes, bullying - did you look at the link in my last post? I'll include it here again for your convenience.
Hope you don't get shafted on a hifi purchase, but after this it'll be tough to sympathize if you do.
Fair enough, I will not look to you for sympathy - you've got a "deal" on that one ;-)

Nobody is denying Kevin's stellar reputation but you still have to be somewhat understanding with people..This seller is not unreasonable but I can almost bet Rick that if someone responded to you in a threatening way the first time,you wouldn't like it.
They assign teachers their own parking spot at the school where I teach and someone parked in my spot one day that was visiting the campus.I could have left a nasty note and said hey,you obviously should realize this is faculty assigned parking and you parked in my spot and if you don't move your car within the next hour,I'm going to have it towed.I did leave a nice note and even tho I was inconvenienced a bit,I didn't hoot and holler about it because the guy just didn't know as the assigned parking sign was hard to see being at the opposite end of the row and I knew this..
