I do think you're attempting to bully the thread and others into the idea that everyone should agree with you, though, and I don't. I like having both types of sellers, and have no interest in a world full of "correct police" who get involved as a third party when not everyone wants them to. The world is not a researched congressional archive, and a bit of variety is nice.
My only attemp was to make members aware of fraudulent stone identification on ebay!
