PLEASE DELETE MY ACCOUNT YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE ARSESHOLE OF THE UTMOST DEGREE. I DON'T NEED YOUR HOOKEY SITE ANYWAYS. BUT, JUST FOR THE MEASURE, YOU BREAK YOUR OWN STANDARDS ALL OF THE TIME.

rugrabbit note: There is a difference between listing pieces with synthetic dyes as such and knowingly misrepresenting them.
