Before I say anything, may I say that I didn't email and harass/bother/insult the lady. I don't even use ebay, so please don't penalise me any further regarding this matter.
I don't see how deepcmonkey hasn't done anything wrong - I quote: "Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them..." I can't see anything wrong in asking her a question, as long as it dosn't contain anything hurtfull or offensive.
May I also apologise if I caused any offence previously on deepcmonkey's thread.

I personally don't really see the difference between making comments about someone on a public discussion board and emailing them directly to the person. Or does it not matter so long as the person doesn't see the comments?
Ahhh, so you contacted this lady about her auction, to maybe ask what steel the knife was made from? Or perhaps you needed to know more about the maker? Maybe you wanted to know who the previous owner was? You were thinking about buying it weren't you?
I dont know what you said to her (or even why you said anything), but I do know that if you questioned her morality or her ethics, or accused her of profiteering from a charity - or even insinuated it - then that deserves an apology.
I wasn't digging at you. However it appears that you don't appreciate being on the receiving end of other peoples public comments, which is something that perhaps we should all consider before we air our opinions about people. And I'll assume that was just a turn of phrase and not a threat at the end there.
We're supposed to be letting you sort things out in an adult fashion, to allow you time to discuss matters rationally.
Funny how many issues come out of the woodwork though.
However, to sum up the thread.
*No one has any call to post offensive messages, either on the forum or by pm or email.
*The lady concerned has every right to do as she chooses with her property, even if the sale so soon after aquisition did leave folks wondering.
*The figures concerned in this sale are a matter of public record and are easily found with a couple of minutes research.
Now that's done, shall we consider the matter closed?
cheers,
Toddy

POSTED AFTER A REQUEST TO CLARIFY MATTERS
"Folks, I've asked Toddy to post this into the closed thread on my behalf.
I would like to make a public apology to deepcmonkey. While full of fury, I misunderstood a comment that he made earlier in this thread regarding "asking for clarification". I wrongly assumed that he had contacted the Lady in question and was one of the people responsible for harassing her. I was wrong. Deepcmonkey was referring to a question he had directed at woody in the beginning of this thread. He has had no direct contact with the Lady in question and is not one of the people responsible for harassing her. I have asked Toddy to post this apology, as I am very concerned that my mistake over this, would lead other forum members to think he was one of those.
He was not.
I apologise to deepcmonkey and to the forum for any misunderstanding here. My opinion on those who have harassed this lady have not changed, but I would not want someone wrongly held responsible, resulting from a mistake that I have made. In addition, my own hot-blooded posts, probably at least in part contributed to the thread being closed, which left deepcmonkey without the opportunity to clarify this mistake.
Thanks to Toddy for giving me the opportunity to clarify this.
Regards,
Martyn. "
