    I couldn't find anything that says so, but this is probably against the rules. And regardless, seems like a Really Bad Idea.

    With that attitude, you definitely don't have to worry about someone trashing your name. You did it yourself. I guess I don't need the OP to BM me your username now to add you to my DTL.

    Cheers!!

    Is there an official do not trade list function?

    With that attitude? I just outed myself, accepting responsibility. And that's not enough? What do you want me to do pagan kiss your ass? Come on most people wouldn't even did this

    I sincerely apologize to the person I needed to apologize to and he knows that. I'm sorry the rest of you are taking it the wrong way but it is what it is

    Eh, poor form to not communicate, but 5 Pliny for 4 Abrasive? I think the guy has paid his price. I personally would not leave negative feedback (and I have told the OP as much). I know it seems hard to believe on here sometimes, but there is a life outside beer and these forums.

    But to each their own.

    All any of us look for is understanding I'm a divorcee that's moving out of his house sorry that beer didn't come before that.could I have chosen my words better? Perhaps. But all you people are looking for is for somebody to burn at the stake

    @murduck88 wasn't even going to post my handle on here. I came on here on my own.

    Acting responsibly would have been getting the OP his beer in a timely manner. You jumped on this thread under the threat of being outed. And also gave 100 excuses.

    Beer shows up as described. Move on.

    Life happens. He has apologized and owned up to it.

    I vote that seller leaves honest and accurate feedback of how the deal went and we all move on.

    You share an account with another person, never heard this one before! With the trading feedback system in place to protect the integrity of the trading forum, this is a big no no and pretty disengenuos. When your friend uses your account to trade, does he tell them most of the feedback is for you and not for him?

    There may not be a rule against this as who would even think this would happen. @blue-dream , @F2brewers , I think a new rule is needed to protect against nonsense like sharing an account.

    Imo the issue isn't a slow to ship box, but just a simple BM giving a two sentence explanation. That's it and all it was. You made up for it with a generous dose of Pliny, but a simple BM would have worked out better for you particularly.

    Well, you are right in the sense that most people wouldnt have put themselves in this situation, but that is neither here nor there. And you are right in the fact that most people wouldn't have apologized, but its your words that surely don't come across as sincere. If all I and others have to judge you by is through your "words" across a screen , surely they don't portray someone who is sincere (see post #20).
    I give you an "A" for effort, but an "F" for execution.
    A simple- Hey, I'm the trader the OP is talking about. I've apologized and the package is on the way. Pretty simple!

    You've started the fire, its up to you to put it out. Life is like a roller coaster with its ups and downs, its how you handle the ride that counts. Sorry to hear about your divorce (sincerely)
    This!!
    I'm sure myself and others could have easily figured it out, by simply looking at @murduck88 feedback within the next week on who he was talking about. Also, in looking at your feedback, this isn't the first time you've been late (just saying)
    Your right, I do hope the OP leaves honest feedback!! And if it was me, it would be "OK" feedback at best. Anytime you have to start one of these threads, 99% of the time its because of piss poor communication. I do understand that there is more to life than beer, but c'mon. A simple "text" or BM, that literally takes seconds, minutes does wonders.
    Absolutely 100%

    Got @Sergeh's box early this morning (package was dropped off at UPS yesterday afternoon and the box was in my hands at 7 AM - impressive!) and everything was as he promised. He certainly made good with the amount of beer, incredibly fast shipping, and accepted my trade request. Aside from the obvious communication gaffe, I feel he's paid his dues.

    Appreciate everyone's input - Cheers!
