In a way, it WAS fun, but not anymore. At least, before, you made a
feeble attempt at discussing the issues with me. Did you HAVE to
attack Donald for his post? Of course, you responded to his post as
if all views contrary to yours on this thread were the "idiotic"
ones. Or did you forget that YOU were the one "just dying" to hear
what eBay had to say about innocently "borrowing" others' images?
And that eBay's official policy turned out to be on my side - and
quite contrary to yours - as far as my initial complaint went? And
you have NEVER intelligently countered my opinion that the misuse
of MY marketing images is just as damaging to ME as the Pepsi/Coke
scenario. Geez, man, don't you know when you're beaten? I tried to
be nice about it, and not rub it in, but since you've popped up so
rudely - again - I believe you "officially" lost this argument, at
least as far as eBay is concerned. Give it up, already.
I'd think someone in your position would tuck tail and walk the
other way, but NOOOOO......
That is, unless you think you actually "won" this argument. If so,
please explain. We're llstening...
At least, if you're going to take issue with Don's post, could you
try to address the ISSUES, please??? No, you didn't address a
single issue. Your entire post was to belittle and ridicule. Do you
think that's funny?? Somehow edifying to rudely denigrate someone's
opinion, intelligence, vernacular, age, etc. without offering a
shred of logical argument?? Are you so convinced of your own
worthlessness that you must belittle others to exalt yourself above
them? Do you feel like a real man, now?? Yeah, you REALLY SHOWED
that guy! Way to go! You are THE MAN!!! That's sick, dude.
First of all, there is a bit of evidence that Don actually read
some of the posts: "I think these guys are complete fools for
attacking you." Ummm, gee whiz, that must mean he actually READ
posts which disagreed with my position. HELLO? And, if I'm not
mistaken, the idea of a lawsuit was not completely defeated, just
deferred in favor of working through the eBay marketplace, in this
case.
Don't call me a hypocrite. I responded, in this thread, to someone
who came in "late" and offered an opinion contrary to mine. How did
I respond? To find out, go to this link:

A little civility might go a long way, in your case. You MIGHT even
be more persuasive if you were a little bit more respectful in your
dissent. Grow up. It's getting REALLY tiresome.
Look at the good side: we are getting close to 150.
Did you even bother to read all the posts before you jumped in with
your idiotic statement comparing an eBay sale image to a Pepsi/Coke
advertisement? And your statement about "sue the clown" just
proves you didn't bother to read the posts.
All of this has been discussed before and we were all getting along
splendidly before you butt in. Go back and read before you
embarrass yourself further.

Robert,
Rest easy. I think these guys are complete fools for attacking you.
The seller stole your image and you should be whacked about it. At
least annoyed. Of course it's not fine art but the reality is that
most money spent on photos is spent for product shoots. Do you
think that if Pepsi lifted photos from Coke ads and just
substituted bottlesl of Pepsi that Coke would not go nuclear. Duh
....
And if you were a real jerk you could sue the clown and win
statutory damages and probably get them tossed from eBay.
So please don't die ...... LOL
