It is but some are here to sell comics and the community is secondary.
Can I ask where this blanket statement comes from? 1) I don't know of anyone selling to HOS members. 2) to say, if you are referring to me, that selling comics comes first and the community comes second, I suggest you take a look at the entire body of what I've done here.
This is specifically why I defended clobberintime -- this is the half cocked way in which some people decide to take their holier than thou positions about right and wrong.
Finally, on the issue of SAGAT, I think there's very clear evidence that he knowingly sold a restored book as unrestored. What list he ought to go on is irrelevant to me, except that people should be informed. If that means the HOS, so be it.
Anyone that has been named as a defendant in a lawsuit for basically forum watchdog activities is more than involved enough in the community.
But your case aside, there are lots of people that discover this place, immediately start selling, never engage the community at all, and cause a lot of havoc.
