Sonofabeach continues to not disappoint - General Tiki

It's better for the community, and it's less painful for those involved. However, every once in a while something comes up that I just have to share it with you people. Recently, I PMed Sonofabeach (read this to get get caught up) and told him that many users were asking me to ban him permanently. I asked him what his thoughts were. He continued to deny that he and OceanTiki were the same person, and replied with a pretty deflective PM that tried to make other members look like the guilty ones. I replied with this: How am I supposed to believe that YOU controlled the TC PASSWORD for a person who you had NEVER met who was buying your stuff through EBAY and TIKI CENTRAL from the SAME COMPUTER that you were posting your auctions on? It's like 2 people in the same room calling each other on the phone but never meeting in person. A few days passed without hearing anything back from him, and then I got this PM (Remember now this whole time he has steadfastly denied that he and OceanTiki were the same person): On 2005-07-19 06:57, sonofabeach wrote: Dear Mr.Hanford Lemoore.
