@promo -- In response to what I said
HERE you said
If you list a name without reserve but you keep a secret reserve by shill bidding on the name, you are in fact deceiving people to think they have a chance to buy the name at a certain price point when no chance is there.
It makes it okay to deceive people if you are willing to pay the auction house commission??
In the same reply, in response to what MediaOptions said

@MediaOptions
I dont want to go into a head to head with you on this.
I am myself a party to behind the scenes info on this and I would prefer to keep out as much as possible.
Less than five hours after this thread was created, you publicly stated "I am a party to behind the scenes info on this and I would prefer to keep out as much as possible." If you have behind the scenes info related to this, why would you prefer to keep out as much as possible? Are you bound to Oliver through domain broker / domain owner confidentiality law(s) and/or agreement(s)?
I think the public would be interested in hearing what behind the scenes info you know [knew] about Oliver putting up the domains
(that originally started this mess) for Andy Booth on NameJet.
You never know, the information you're publicly withholding could play a key role into understanding the full scope of what really happened when BQDN, BoothCom, and SEEK were bidding on domains being sold from Olivers Featured Auction with Mr. Booth WHOIS info.
You then accused MediaOptions of bidding on one of his LLL.COMs he had another seller put up.
Two things though:
1: I know you cant teach business ethics to someone who does not want to hear it.
2: its against the TOS you agreed to when you signed up at NJ. I know you do it yourself since its not more than 3 months since you bid on one of your LLL.COMs you had another seller put up. Not sure what came of that and frankly at this point I dont care.
So there. I said my peace. If you want to have further discussion with me, we can have it through PM.
To which I replied
Do you have any proof to support that allegation/accusation? Or do I need to retract my 'Friday' reaction?
After I wrote a disclaimer summarizing what had been said about MediaOptions thus far was just allegations without hard proof connecting them to shill bidding. You mocked me by saying...

Mind you, in my disclaimer, I quoted a 6N.com to which it hadn't been 100% verified that it had sold from a MediaOptions featured NameJet auction or not. That specific allegation has since been verified to show SeafoodMan did in fact bid on, and win a domain sold from featured auction MediaOptions. Ironically, this 6N.com later sold to OP via NameJet.
I'm not a lawyer, nor did I consult one prior to writing that disclaimer. So I can't say for sure if that disclaimer would have helped mitigate and/or limit any potential damages which may have stemmed from people like you who (without providing proof) accused MediaOptions of things such as bidding on their own 3L.com which was auctioned from somebody else's account. To me, this is a serious accusation. Maybe I missed where you either (a) provided proof to support your allegation or (b) retracted your statement and issued a public apology.
