Given the user and the circumstances, the safe bet would be to
automatically disregard anything entered into the auction conference by
this user, including both bids and donation items.
I don't know if Backtalk is designed to allow blacklisting of specific
users, but given the nature of the bidding process, it is definitely
worth considering in order to minimize confusion and preserve the
integrity of the process.

I think polytarp still wants to participate in the auction of this item. He's
just stated that if he wins, he does not want to actually receive the
item(although) he'll still contribute the winning amount.

Given the range of things he has stated, I would put no faith in anything
he says, which best suggests ignoring all of it.

I'm not comfortable excluding someone based on past disagreements with
people. I *am* comfortable excluding someone based on demonstrated
lack of payment for things in the past, and for withdrawing bids. That's
why I'd like to know if polytarp is withdrawing his bids.

Todd and Eric slipped in. WHat Todd says is what I *think* polytarp is
saying, but I'm not sure.

Mark, it's your call, so I support your option to do what you feel is
appropriate.
For the record, I remain skeptical.

OK, we'll accept your bid, polytarp. Think of it as a chance to impress
Eric with your degree of responsibility. If you win the item, pay for it,
and then declare that you don't want to receive it, that's between you and
Todd.

Then it shouldn't be a problem for you to make the declaration again once
you have sent in the money.

It gives me warm fuzzies to see such activity in my auction item.

re resp:36: Eric, you need to cultivate your antipathies carefully. In
your position, it can be important to despise -- and be despised by --
the right type of people.

When nobody has made a new bid in at least a week, an auctioneer will
enter a response saying that the item is "going once" to the highest
bidder. If 24 hours pass without a new bid, the auctioneer will
announce that the item is "going twice". And if another 24 hours go
by without a bid, then an auctioneer announces that the item is sold.
No sale is final until an auctioneer says so, so if 24 hours have
passed since "going twice" but the item has not been closed, you may
continue bidding.
SEE?!
NO_ONE"S WON YET!!
