I know whom they are & they have not been honest (as I have been-honest) in the past dealings that I have had with said persons.(With that said--it is my business & no one needs to know thats my opinion anyway but I did get something in return--others maybe suspect at this point--but like I stated that is my business only)..... Some of the people listed I have no idea whom they are. I think if said people are 'adults' here than act like one....calling names gets you no where. If you messed up---own it please. I always think it strange when people are called on things & they don't own them....they are acting childish in my opinion. Some are repeat offenders in that its always an excuse. Thats sad really. I can't understand that. The saddest part of all is when we trade with others in hoping to find those Stevie/Mac items that we really really want---than the trade goes bad. I still don't understand how & why this happens. Some people have integrity & are honest while others are not. Maybe its the way they were raised? I don't know. I just know its hurtful when others ruin that trust that you place in them. These are only things. I guess in some ways they are not important BUT having an honest transaction is. So act responsibly and if you can not deliver the items agreed upon than return items or the $ or whatever it was & than its done & over with period. That is IMO --no offence meant. Again thats my peace in this matter........

Sue, I agree with you 1000%! The aggravation on my part was finding my name on the Bad Traders/Bad People list. What is said about me there is totally false and is part of a smear campaign against me because I had the gall to disagree with someone in a Stevie forum. When that happened, all hell broke loose, and my life has been in turmoil ever since. I mentioned NO names when I first responded to this attack because I did not feel that it would be right to do so. I have tried very hard to solve this legally and with a modicum of decorum, but others don't want to see it that way. It was posted publically that I was banned from Enchanted - something that Daniel himself will dispute - and much worse, including evil threats. It isn't fair, and I don't like being grouped with people who ARE bad traders. I am not even a trader, for God's sake... I have many friends in the Stevie community - most of them for many years - and I don't appreciate my name being slandered/libeled in the manner in which it has been just because of a smear campaign. This same attack was stopped in its track in another forum, so it has now moved to this one. It is petty, it is sick, and it is uncalled for. I am a senior citizen living on Social Security Disability, and I do NOT need or want these lies associated with my name because of a select few. My original intention was to bring these facts to Melanie's attention, in the hopes that she would see the truth, but I seem to be getting nowhere with it. It is pathetic, it is untrue, and it is against the law as stated by the Constitution of the United States. Both internet libel/slander and cyber bullying are illegal, I am a victim of all of it, and I have had enough. Sorry that it mushroomed the way that it did, as that was never my intent - I merely wanted to (hopefully but unsuccessfully) clear my name here as I have been able to do in other forums, but it seems that rather than checking the facts, the words of a select few have been deemed to be fact. I assure you that those words are absolute lies, and I have the proof to back that up...
