I was very close to landing the domain and wanted to see if there would be any interest generated from a few companies, who could possibly benefit from owning the acronym. I have made many sales by doing my homework early on. I should have made a short-list of TM holders 'not to contact'.
The strong warning I received is now shared with all those sending me emails requesting the document.
Of course, you can go ahead and win the auction, just don't say I didn't warn about what COULD follow. Maybe NOTHING will happen. Just be warned that these guys are watching closely to see in who's hands the domain will fall.

.. If I was bidding in an auction and win the domain only to get a C&D the next day because someone else, who didn't even own the domain, has already been offering it to end-users... :upset:
.. and what if someone in the company actually knows their way around a computer? It isn't too hard for them to check the domain's current owner, see that it's still in auction and ask you if you own the domain or not? What do you say then? If they find out that you don't even own the domain you're trying to sell, wouldn't it be easier for them to act aggressive?

Yes, we have all made the point quite clear that this wasn't the best of moves 
....But the guys at DMG cannot lift a finger if the domain is not 1) parked with affiliate links and 2) offered to TM holders of "DMG"

Didn't you just offer it to the TM holders of "DMG"? Isn't that what this thread is all about?

... thanks, I think I get the picture now. None of the above was my intention, I know it's easy to say that NOW.
YES, I know, I should have thought about the consequences BEFORE. I am guilty as charged. You've put in the cell... just please stop beating me to the ground on top.

Sounds like looking for a future wife for your unborn son. How can you solicit offers for a domain that you don't own, which is on a public auction no less?

we weren't seriously talking figures. I just wanted to see if there would be some real interest in the not-too-distant future (I always flip domains to end users within 2-3 weeks of acquiring them); I got burnt trying to get a headstart and it has taught me a valuable lesson that I will not forget.
I completely understand if everyone here wants me punished, insulted and burned. I am really sorry....
Please do not use foul language here. Thank you.
What's the point of trying to difuse a bomb that has already gone off?
The damage is done, and I apologise. I understand if you continue to hold a grudge.

No... I'm quite new to domaining - as you can see through my recent mistake(s).
But I have made some cracking sales giving low $xxx,xxx profit from my 1st 8 months of domaining. And then I go and mess it up

How about you are lucky to even still be on this forum you lying sack of SH*T? I honestly think this says alot about your lack of ethics and willingness to lie and deceive the members of this forum. If we were not 100 times smarter than your dumba$s maybe some of us would have even believed you!
I say you are in need of a serious attitude adjustment, or maybe we can do it for you?

I never lied.
1) I entered the DMG auction (the first drop auction for dmg) because I wanted to buy DMG.com
2) I was the 2nd highest bidder and decided to contact a few companies to see if they could be interested in acquiring the LLL.com - I didn't say that I was selling the domain or that I own the domain
3) One of them was a TM holder and I didn't know this/do my homework
4) They misunderstood and thought I was maybe the current owner and using it/parking it with links to other DMG sites (bad faith)
5) They got in contact with a law firm and I got this letter yesterday by email warning of the consequences of registering this domain / offering it to TM holders / Parking the domain etc. etc.
6) I then thought of the leading bidders over at SNAP and thought it would be good to inform the bidders about what COULD be around the corner after the closing of the auction
I know I messed up. Again, I am sorry.
