I have never seen a guy get sniped and jibed at like xoxos.
Speaking from blissful ignorance (flame away), it seems pretty clear that he was deliberately 'wound up' by the auction hijinks. It was always going to provoke him, so why do it?
Nearly lost in the shuffle is the fact that xoxos was an early contributor to the auction and he followed through by happily handing over the prize to the second place bidder.
I am not here to give him a character reference, but I like the quirky nature of his plugins, so I follow his posts on kvr. I have bought some of his products and I use them and like them, and in my dealings with him I have found him to be a friendly and generous guy. Why the hate?
He seems to attract a lot of crap, and the quality and inventiveness of his products gets buried under distractions.
kvr as a whole should be glad he's around to push the envelope for us.
I don't think the sniping, or the sometimes heavy handed moderator interventions, add to the kvr experience, which should be more about encouraging innovation and participation, and less about trying to pay out people you don't like.
There, I feel better now....
