If everyone on RJ was on my butt about the way I posted something I would be embarrassed and sure wouldn't KEEP MAKING IT WORSE on myself. Why is it so hard to just say guys I didn't mean it the way it sounded. Let me try it again.
Maybe something like this.
"I've had several bad deals with guys from Ohio :x . Could someone please tell me it's just my bad luck? " That would not have been a direct attack on anyone and you would not have drawn so much attention to yourself. Trust me the guys on here will help you go after a scammer, but you have to have facts not slander.
Nobody is trying to pick a fight with you or make you look bad, only asking you to think about what you're posting.
