Travis,
Yes, my response was a little heated, but that's something that I find VERY offensive. For somebody to come on here and down another person's auction when NUMEROUS people have mentioned how rare this particular chip is, THAT'S not appropriate. I do believe that, yes, I might have been a little extreme, but definitely not to the point that makes me think I should apologize to the entire board for venting my outrage at an individual that is on here doing that. If you feel that my response was directed AT you then I apologize for the fact that you think so, however, I will NOT apologize for something that I feel that strongly about. If Skip were not to have bid on the auction at all and made the same post, then that might have made a difference in my response. Hell, I probably wouldn't have even gotten upset at all. He DID, however, bid on it and that's the part that I got so upset about. The fact that he was outbid and he seems to dislike losing to the point that he's now going to come on here and post a message putting down the auction that he lost the bid on.
