Isn't is a bit hypocritical to start a thread asking for help, see the help, then lock it not because it violates any rules but because you want to use that information for personal gain?
Something about this does not feel right to me. I'm not saying you are a bad guy or anything like that, but there is a definite double standard here that cannot be replicated by a normal member.
How dare you question the smartest man on here.....

The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly, is to fill the world with fools.
I understand why he did what he did. He asked for help, received it, then locked the thread so he could show it to someone before some of the more "sarcastic" members filled it with pics of who knows what in front of cameras. Could he have gotten the pics through private emails or done things differently? Perhaps. But I see this as a small blip on the otherwise cluttered radar screen of GB drama.

he asked about photoboot setups from high volume sellers(notice that he pluralized it), waited until kasey responded, and then locked the thread so that he could shot it to his wife without the thread being hijacked by miscreants.
its clear to me that that was the only response he was lookign for, as the thread didnt exist long enough nor did it show any signs of beign taken of track. it just struck me as very childish and juvenile, but thats the behavior ive come to expect from this child, so i guess its a wash...

Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act, H.R. 1148. The STOCK Act is a bipartisan solution that would prohibit Members of Congress and federal employees from profiting from nonpublic information they obtain via their official positions.
Just insert GB employee for Members of Congress and federal employees

They can do that, but the mods can also delete any post that they do not agree with. They can change your post to where it does not resemble anything like what you originally wrote. It just made them look bad or proved them wrong.
But the post broke absolutly no rules.
And they do not have to put a "edited by ..." tag at the bottom.
That way it looks like you wrote it just as they changed it.
Very childish in my opinion.
Obviously, Zulu knows his boss's mind better than the man knows his own.
His boss is not capable of filtering out the B.S.
He's not clever or astute enough to study several options, and decide which best suits his needs, time, and budget. Let alone utilize one idea from Option A, another from Option B, combine them with some idea of his own, and obtain the desired result, let alone improve on it.
I don't understand why you guys are surprised, he's been a Mod for a few years and nothing has changed, he hasn't and doesn't think he needs to "grow and learn".... You realize that he is wise beyond his years according to him (really, he's said that on numerous occasions). Intelligent people learn form their mistakes and the input of others... But he doesn't need to learn because he can walk on water like Jesus. So leave the boy alone, he's prefect, if you don't believe that just ask him. Although some day he will become as "wise " as he thinks he is and then he might be a good guy, until then, humor him and tell him he is indeed intellegent....

How about, "It's none of your damn business why I did it the way I did it," or perhaps, "I didn't feel it necessary to have Kasey's pictures sent to my private email because my boss doesn't need to see my private email inbox."
I asked Kasey to post them so I could show my boss in a manner that did not require him to sign in to anything.
