We've got a love/hate thing going on because we know it's not worth having a go at the other guy, even though he's wrong , but other people don't know that.

Me, I love to waffle on and get full value from my thesaurus, and folks got sick of it in the other thread. You could say I had it coming, but it doesn't make it any less unpleasant when people start personally attacking you for just expressing an opinion. Repeatedly.
The posts that got deleted actually had nothing to with the person 'playing victim' in this thread. A different member made a very threatening comment to me for making a simple point that sales don't always equal quality.

A different member saw the threat and pm'd me and said member was always threatening people and acting like an arse, so I reported him.

I don't take bullying lightly, even if it is just on an online forum.

'The victim' in this thread came in, steered the tread in a totally different direction that he knew would cause shit and then started crying 'poor me' when 'everyone' (all 2 of us) had a go at him.
