Buyer Beware

BTW, it was pointed out in another group that this eBay seller also stole her description verbatim from the late great "Tea Man".

You called me slanderous when I said you don't police your recommended websites for pricing which made you a hypocrite and liar in the same sentence. If you're talking about that 'personally hate but who had a much more ethical offering' MJ link for ~ $25 notice it was only 800g. The Ebay seller said 3lb net which is more like 1500g. So for sake of argument you can double the $25. Also notice in another post the seller was initially cheaper which included shipping than the $25 which didn't. So order your "ethical offering" for more weight, more cost, more time, more hassle or let others pay the shipping who spend $20/oz for TKY just mentioned yesterday. I'll spend the $60 and get 5 x 357g beengs from different factories in China which includes shipping. I don't see you making the cost argument for aged puerh except caveat emptor. You and I are mostly involved in banter about your website so you speak with forked tongue about me being in your kill file because your web traffic goes up 'everytime'. So in your case it is LIAR, LIAR asbestos pants on fire for the people in your peanut gallery who can only scratch their heads.

No, the part I was calling slanderous is where you said that I had "sponsor supported links".

As for the eBay poster you can defend them all you want to, eBay has shown a keen interest in their fraudulent practices.

You are indeed in my killfile at home where I use the Agent newsreader, I have to use Google at work though which does not support killfiles. You accusations are, as usual, empty.

The rest of your post is little more than Troll babble.

Look if you want to sling mud around I can do that too. The big difference will be that I can back my mud up with proof, where all of yours is nothing more than conjecture, misinterpretations, and innuendo. For example if I were to call you a (adjective here) I would back it up with proof. Now go ahead and dare me to do it, remember Google never forgets!

I've referenced in the past my use of 'sponsor supported links' to describe your links to shopping carts that don't take AE. In fact I used that in this thread. You also conveniently left out the rest of the sentence "erh public service announcements". You say spud. I say if it walks like a duck. You'll have a hard time coming up with the alliteration of P adjectives I've use in the past to describe your alter ego Plagiarizer, Proslytizer, Peeping Tom and making them stick in appropo threads. I just added Phony for Hypocrite and Prevaricator for Liar. Anybody can use cuss words or make moniker changes. Tell me your working hours so I can post when you are at home. If you're really having a bad day at work I can go out of my way to oblige. Please put up a message board on your website so we can complain to you about price abuses from your links like you do to Ebay. Can anyone think of a good P word for TattleTale.

Heh.

Hey Mike,

Mud Tea: an idea whose time is long overdue. Very rare, it is. Produced by wasps of a certain type known to frequent tea plantations at flowering time. Why didn't I think of that before? Since I'm the first to have thought of it, I claim all rights. I'll be charging a fee for any references, so I suggest that you do NOT respond to this post, lest you incur debt.

Jim and all, the whole universe with everything therein, truth and lies together, is done with smoke and mirrors, so let's just sit back and enjoy the passing parade.

Come on, guys; we're all flippin' perv's when you scratch us. Michael

Does "flippin' pervs" require a spatula?

No, my boy, it does not; pervs are best roasted. Pan fired perv might be the style in some venues, but here on rfdt a good roast is the rule.

Now, let us all dredge up something truly ugly from our horrid pasts and post it here for the entertainment of all.

There was a time in this country where any possession of Pot was an automatic life sentence. That's the reason I did psychedelics in the

60's before laws were passed to specifically throw Timothy Leary in jail and other acid heads. My wife and I stood in line at the marquee to watch Deep Throat. Lenny Bruce died so you can say what the *&%(*^% you want. Did you see the documentary WhatTheBleep which is also the name of their website. It is Michael Moore on acid. You get the standard nothing is as it seems quantum physics explanation but the second half is current biological theory of how and why the mind/body can react to the quantum roll of the dice. I have an interest in cultural anthropology so maybe another good reason for culture is too even out the individual reaction to quantum mechanics. Ever once in a while I sip tea in another universe.

Damn, now you are starting to sound like Jim. Just because he once mentioned a common metaphor he thinks he has a copyright on it. Rosetta, rosetta, rosetta.....

I have always offered that I will leave him alone if he will just leave me alone. I have offered an olive branch on multiple occasions, he has always chose to ignore it.

Not me. I'm straight and monogamous, and have been at least since lunch.

[Michael] [Mike] [Michael] You can complain all you want to, but one reference to Mud Tea and I'll have you all in court. [Michael] [Mike] [Michael] And so you have. But your mistake is obvious. Olive branches went out with Noah. It's tea branches now. Get with the program.

Hope this helps.

I live in Brooklyn. Monogamy is one of the worst perversions we've got! Michael
