I do not go to CF anymore, for the same reasons that Mr.Jerry posted above. IMHO all one needs to do to end up on "The List" is to piss off the wrong person (Namely one of those guys that Jerry spoke of :lookup: ).
I noticed that some names were on the list because they Stopped Payment on a check, but it doesn't say why they did this,they may well have had a reason. I for one will not put any stock at all in an accusation of wrong doing, when only one side of the argument is noted.
I think that list is Garbage. I have had dealings with one of the names on that list and put a possative note in his trader comments because he more than took care of his end. BlowingSmoke aka D J Gibbons is on the list and the accusation is that he wrote a bad check and failed to make good. I don't believe the whole story is given, and I feel that he is not the only one there that has another side of the story to tell.
Of course, I would not say that you should deal with anyone on that list, you have to decide for yourself, but as for my.....I would dump that list in the preverbial Chitcan and draw my own conclusions based on my experience.
To each his own ???
