Isaac's made his high-horse opinion very clear and let it seep into his moderation, which was apparent from the reason he used to close that guy's topic.I agree that Isaac was too hastily in closing that guy's selling thread, however I don't think you're delivering that message politely.
But it's terrible to stick up for that guy and express my opinion, so please forgive me!

Not necessarily true. The beauty of the internet is that everyone who uses it has a wonderful shield in front of them, the monitor. Just because a person does something in a game, doesn't necessarily dictate how they're gonna act in life. It's why cyberbullying and cybersex is so "popular". Anyone can just open up an instant messaging window and say "hey babe, wanna cyber?" and there ARE people who do that AND people who agree to go along with it. However, you don't see many people on the street walking up to each other and asking for sex unless you wanna count prostitution.
People who are scamming, lying or cheating do need to be told that it's wrong and discouraged. However unless they're doing those things, I don't see them doing something that is "wrong" by offering a service in this day and age.
