I'm baffled by this idea:  (quoted from below)

"But when that defense becomes defencive, it
usually means that someone was caught with their pants down and does not
want to admit it. So, defend yourself, but don't be defencive or it proves
the other persons point."

I don't get that at all.  Even if it were spelled correctly, it still 
makes no sense to me.  Isn't a "defense", by definition, "defensive"?

It seems to me that what we've seen here is a classic case of 
misrepresentation from a seller trying to inflate the bids on his item.  
This same person then tries to "defend" himself on the list, all the 
while pretending he is defending someone else.  That's twice he has 
misrepresented himself, in only two dealings with him.  That's a bad 
average, if you ask me.  And so this thread has served a useful purpose 
in my estimation, of rooting-out and exposing a fraud, who would 
otherwise prey on the unsuspecting members of this forum. 

Just my opinion, of course.
