This whole situation is so unfortunate on so many levels.

Dan seems upset that Larry is trying to use Bricklink in a way that he doesn't
intend (even though the TOS doesn't seem to address the gray area of stores
imposing "terms and conditions" on sales that aren't automatically handled by
Bricklink's sales engine).

Larry is upset because he thought he was complying with the TOS, made changes
that he thought would make Dan happy, and got kicked off Bricklink.

The community is now in an uproar because a "high profile" Bricklink store has
closed and they don't understand the situation...


As a past Bricklink buyer, I would really like to see this situation come to a
resolution that benefits everyone involved.

Personally, I see it as resolved now.  Almost all of us can all still buy or
sell.  Follow the rules. It can be debated all we want, but to me, it is
resolved. (and I stress - To Me)

Larry didn't break any rule spelled out in the TOS.  That's the problem.  He
broke an "unwritten rule" and when he tried to fix the problem, he found that he
was still breaking some "unwritten rule".

When one enters into such an agreement (like agreeing to the TOS of a site like
Bricklink), it would be nice if all the rules were carefully spelled out.
