  1. Good, he's gone.

    So, anyone want to know how?

    So about half the number of items I've traded. And nobody ever called
    me an asshole in my feedback - you have a remarkably vivid imagination,
    don't you? And the two negs I ever got were both NPBs. The first was
    kicked off Ebay and the second - well, I think that:

    http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewFeedback&userid=campsieshooting&iid=

    speaks for itself.

    As you were tragic enough to trawl through years' worth of Ebay buying
    and selling to discover those two negs, you'd have discovered that for
    yourself. Amusing that you decided not to mention it....

    Stick around on Ebay and you will, sooner or later, cop a negative from
    one of the many brain-dead bidders there.

    Well yes.
    But no. There are many examples where terrorism has succeeded in
    bringing about change. In many of those, history records the
    terrorists as being justified in their actions.

    Take the examples of the French resistance or the (pre free-state)
    IRA. They would defininitely have been (were) regarded as terrorists
    at the time, _by the establishment_ but would hardly be deemed as
    being ultimately counterproductive.

    Oooh, Sir! I know, Sir!

    Go on then - what did this particular genius do?

  9. They invaded a country hostile to Al Quaeda in revenge for an Al Quaeda
    attack and in doing so created an Al Quaeda hinterland where previously
    none existed.

    ....and you say they don't do irony?

    Well it turned out that he bid on two similar items that ended at
    similar times. He chose not to pay for ours and send the same eight
    questions over and over again despite getting coherent and complete
    answers the first time.

    Only when I included his name and address (from whois) did he suddenly
    go quiet.

    Then he changed his ebay user name from shimmyhanna to donny_quigley

  14. It's a good trick, that. I had a non-supplying seller last year and
    rooted around the various online infobases to find out what I could
    about him. Got speaking to one of his neighbours who was most
    informative.

    Upshot was, when I told the seller I knew his Mum didn't need the hassle
    of having a lying piece of shit for a son, what with her medical
    condition and all and his local plod (small community, so might be
    interested) could be knocking at his door for a chat, communication was
    miraculously restored and the items arrived a few days later.

    **** *right* off, arsewipe.
    You're missing the point, shit for brains.
    You are obviously in need of some kind of mental therapy then, if something
    like this gets you foaming at the mouth.

    The reason I found TOG's ebay entry "excellent", was the delicious irony of
    the item being sold being a PETROL TANK, and him not accepting bids from
    Americans, over their involvement in Iraq.
    It's got nothing to do with my personal thoughts on the war in Iraq /
    America / the price of butter.

    So go piss up a rope, you irritating little prick.

    Heh, after some of the stuff [1] I've seen WRT my neighbour's dispute, it
    does not surprise me in the slightest.

    [1] Defendants have copies of local authority's internal emails, and copies
    of correspondance sent to the local authority by the plaintiffs. Local
    authority can't really explain how this happened.
