I've split the topic. I felt the original post by Boing-Ball, to an off-site thread of experiences with the seller was not in line with the original purpose of the thread on here.
Moderating is sometimes straightforward (deleting spam), and sometimes a judgement call and one side will disagree with the decision. It shouldn't open people trying to help up to personal attacks on here or anywhere else (ref comments at end of the thread on Amibay).
I was invited by F0llett to be a moderator, I didn't ask.
I'm not a buddy of Steve / Retropassion, something I've stated before. I've bought off Retropassion once online (and I got my order in a couple of days) and a couple of times in person at shows.
