I would encourage everyone that has done business with mrouid in the past to contact SR Support regarding mrouid's suspension. He is one of the longest serving vendors on this site, with one of the largest customer bases - none of those customers have ever been left unsatisfied.This entire debacle occurred as a result of underhanded tactics by mtljohn in an effort to rid himself of competition. He states that this is good news for buyers, but when has a monopoly on anything EVER been good for buyers?! His actions go against the ideals of agorism, and his feet are planted firmly on the side of his own interests. He doesn't care for buyers here, he cares for his own pockets. Such a view is not the making of a good vendor, as I'm sure those of you who have been dealing with mrouid would agree. mrouid's service has never failed to disappoint, and we should be rallying around him at this time.I would also ask that you all report mtljohn for directing SR users to contact him via email for "SR down specials", thereby violating the terms of his agreement with Silk Road as set out in the Buyer's Guide, stating that he would not direct customers to purchase from him off-site. He has done just this, as evidenced here:Quote from: mtljohn on November 02, 2012, 09:59 pmSR is down...contact me via e-mail for any questions or orders... SR down specials while the site is down!!!johnmtl@tormail.orgJohnWhat's good for the goose is good for the gander, mtljohn.All buyers should keep their Bitcoin out of mtljohn's hands; such disgusting behaviour should not be rewarded in our community. If he's willing to stoop to such levels in order to increase his edge on a competitor, it's not a big stretch to imagine that he will be trying to get an edge on everyone he does business with. One way, perhaps, may be the storage of addresses to threaten buyers who leave him bad feedback. I'm not saying he's doing that, of course, but his underhanded manner certainly seems to suggest it may be a possibility. Does anybody really want to take that risk?!mtljohn; you, sir, are a disgrace.- grahamgreene
