Hahahahaha! Wow. Just wow. Never a dull moment here. OP- come on man. Please.. just.. re-read your post. With a straight face, can you really justify writing that without it looking/sounding absurd? I agree with Scout there is more to whatever drama is going on. It's possible both parties of trying to get back at each other for deals that went south off-site. Frankly both don't sound too credible, and I'm certain both are bullshitting at least to some extent. But the fact of the matter is a vendor just can't be using personal info as a "weapon".. he will lose in the long run as he will either get banned or people will NEVER trust him. Which brings us to the fact that the Vegas dude must have been doing some off-site deal(s), which is not only stupid (as there's no paper trail of it on the main site), but RISKY as he is learning. I've noticed that whenever people (vendor or buyer) try to circumvent the Silk Road system (escrow/documented transactions/resolution/etc), inevitably it blows up in their face and spills into the forums.. and they end up getting fucked in some way. Lesson to the newbies..
