It's nothing more than classic mob tactics.
Holiday has repeatedly said that there are no restrictions on discussing pending auctions. This was obviously a multi-thousand dollar, high-profile auction perfectly appropriate for public discussion - especially once it blew up to $1,000 with multiple fat wallet bidders - yet I've been called a "moron," (by a moderator!) a "reckless idiot," "douchebag" (by another moderator, who later apologized) and told that I was "deliberate fucking" other APF members out of spite.
I've gotten into a few hot arguments with a couple of charming members, but I've never used that kind of vitriol for an issue like this.
