Meanwhile, @James Iles deletes comments in his blog.
His blog is constantly promoting sales from brokers surrounded by controversy.
You made what I considered to be accusations towards certain members of the industry that had very loose connections with what the blog post was about.
I assume you're referring to the Detected Domains series? That is simply reporting on domain movements from some of the industry's most recognisable names. I report facts based on domain movement. That's all. There's no agenda, no attempt to promote certain brokers, etc.

In fairness, it also doesn't appear you shed much light on many controversial domain topics. From my POV it seems like you give certain people a spotlight, and in essence a news platform, while you neglect to comment on questionable activity. But maybe you have the right approach, and it's best to be oblivious to it all.
You post stuff that does not prove anything and make insinuations that you never care to further prove or draw back.
@MediaOptionsI 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.
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.
Please you had to go back to page 1 to find something to shot back at me with?
Give em a break. They forgot to log into their shilling accounts..

Hack? Grilled has posted hard data and proven many things here on this forum and he has had the huevos to call out those who are unethical. He was threatened and posted that. He has worked since July and posted screenshots of questionable activity and demonstrating duplicate ID’s, Shill bidders, bot behavior, ton’s of data and hours he has invested. Then the one platform of primary interest shut down their sales history, I believe in direct response to his uncovering all the nonsense so he couldn’t find out even more.
@Grilled has nothing to sell except his domains he owns, he has no sales website that I know of, no advertising income to protect, not brokering other peoples names, not some brand embassador, and unlike some people he isn’t around bragging about how many twitter followers he has.
The amount of pom-pom waving, back scratching, fraternity club behavior, hype, hoopla, touting, partnering, and embellishing that goes on in domaining exposed here and various domain blogs is frankly obvious. There are only a few people on this forum calling out the nonsense.
I don't have any input as to the "history" or sorts that is apparently coming out here.Thank you for that offthehandle. Glad you recognized your "pom-pom waving, back scratching, fraternity club behavior, hype, hoopla, touting, partnering, and embellishing" behaviour and finally recognize me as being one of "only a few people on this forum calling out the nonsense".
Its was a little discomforting seeing you sucking up to the people you believe are the gurus (after being in the industry for a whole 12 months) and then telling the rest of us we are back scratchers. Finally you see your own behaviour as the rest of us does.
Good on you.
Though not sure what hard data you are referring to. I know Grilled has come out as a diehard advocate for a proven thief? Is that what you are talking about? Telling people it was OK he stole from people since he served in the army or something? Is that the unethical behaviour you are talking about?
That's easy, the one thing everyone doesn't want - Government regulation. Because if anyone thinks that a 'self governing' honor system of an industry that encompasses anyone with $10 in the whole world is the answer, there's a bridge in Brooklyn they should look into buying....what can be done to unite, or define a standard that protects everyone.
