I understand
well ...im in for over $150 on his raffles and would also like money back in return ... and no these happymeal toys will not replace that ... but for some reason i don't see me getting my money back ... and would very much apreciate an apology of sorts ... but no matter who it is giving away something for free... im always in on that ... even if i payed for all the free things he is giving away
I completely understand all of you guys trying to get a little something from him in return for being lied to, however, I kinda feel that if I accept these trinkets I am saying that this is an acceptable way to apologize for what he had done. Which I thoroughly disagree with. I would have MUCH rather read a long, well written post apologizing for what was done, explaining why it was done, and just an all out heartfelt apology. I haven't even seen anything that would indicate that he knows what he did was wrong.
This is the type of guy that would sell someone in Kansas Volcano Insurance. He doesn't care about any of us, all he cares about is how fat he can make his bank account before he gets caught, banned, and loses business. Then he will try to move on to somewhere else and cheat people. The fact that people are still supporting his raffles (i.e. Richard Black Cue) distrubs me greatly. Here is a seller who knowingly sold AZ members fake products under false pretense and he is still getting your money. I hope and pray that who ever wins that cue, it turns out to be real. I personally emailed Mr. Richard Black and he said that he could not confirm via the pictures if it was authentic or not. He warned to be careful because he has been tracking a lot of sellers of his cues that will post real pictures, then send a fake cue. He said if the seller is selling the cue for that much under his normal value, be wary. His cues sell from $1800 and up.
I can't express through postings how much this whole event bothers me and how much the lack of response and outrage bothers me even more. People on these forums blow up on someone for simple infractions of civility and here is a guy who stole from a lot of members, and yet, maybe 4-5 of us are outraged and speaking out.
I would like to think that while still a newer member to AZ, I am decently respected and I don't really have any enemies. I do not attack anyone personally and I do not intentionally stir up controversary. This guy needs to be ousted from our team. I view all members on AZ as having some sort of viable input and I respect that because we all have a common interest. When the wolf takes off his sheep costume, its time to shoot him in the face. tasaddicts took off his sheep costume and showed his true intentions of decieving, lying, and ripping off other AZ members.

Something just didn't seem right to me about all his case raffles.
