This is not fair. He transferred domain to you and followed rules. Before that there were many attempts of character assassination. I think the guy is gem, he was probably new thats it and he had some firm beliefs but ultimately he followed rules. You should not point people to old thread. I read everything there and based on what I read it seems that at that time even nastier comments must have been made which I believe John took care of. But now do not bother him, he still gave you domain and you also know that you were happy to get that domain at such a low price. SO LEAVE HIM ALONE...
@MODS: Please seriously look into this, and if realestate has no other negative records, you may consider deleting thread which really leads to bad reputation. I think he had his firm beliefs and never intended to cheat but ultimately he followed rules. Cheating is something when you say something and do something else or hide, here all along he mentioned what he felt and finally gave in, so I think he had his principles and really did not want to cheat.
