Direct action against tossers

  1. Item 260158425856

    I've decided to wage a campaign against the irritating people that try
    and get you to pull auctions for their benefit.

    This one might run and run....

    Anyone reckon I can get his Ebay account pulled?

  2. I am quite prepared to make a silly offer if someone's auction has
    closed with no bids. But these pricks are starting to get on my tits.

    And I still want to get a death threat from an Ebay auction.....

  3. spamming scum

    Mind you 20 quid to cart half a hundredweight of irony ally to the other
    end of the country seems, for some strange reason, rather cheap. Is
    that rate available to ordinary mortals or is it the exclusive province
    of the frequent mailer?

    ....Ah. Yes. Like that's uncommon.

    And the good old Post Office will tote up to 20kg for 13 pounds and
    pennies.

    Wow!, an educated scrap dealer - now, there's a novelty.

    Perhaps, in view of your superior command of English, you'd care to point
    out the illiteracy (allegedly) contained in my previous post?

    I'll bite. Commas after quesion marks are a no-no. That's not going to get
    you very far is it?

    Perhaps you'd like to order pizza for us because your Jihad is nearing
    completion.

    It's idiosyncratic - not incorrect, Who is to say *what* is correct, or
    incorrect, for that matter? - a few more months of mass immigration and
    we'll all be speaking in an amusing patois, anyway.

    I used to care - but, now, I just worry about the important things in life,
    like uppity scrap dealers.


    'Obstruse' (or, 'abstruce', if you prefer) is the word that springs most
    readily to mind when studying that enigmatic sentence. You'll have to
    simplify it for me, I'm afraid - I'm a plain man and I speak plainly, it's
    no use bamboozling me with your esoteric scrap-dealer talk!

    I can only say that you seem to attract them like flies round shit, and
    the one mans protest about Iraq and Americans, is it really necessary? I
    think it is totally out place and I'm surprised that ebay permitted
    it, even if I might find myself agreeing with you in part on that subject,
    it is still out of place there.

    You seem to relish strife and grief, why didn't you simply state UK
    bidders only and set a BIN price £50 quid or whatever minimum you are
    prepared to accept, which would have precluded anyone asking that same
    question and would probably have got the damned thing out from under your
    feet as quickly as possible with the least hassle. If someone needs or
    wants the thing and the price is reasonable it'll go, not everyone has the
    patience to endure the unpredictability of an auction.

    Be a good result if you did.

    The "special olympics" thing still applies, too.

    Try not to get in too deeply, Tony. One of *the* essential criteria for
    Usenet success is the ability to refrain from pointing out typing errors.
    To do so, you see, makes you look like a Lamer.

    It is a generally held view (and an entirely valid one, in my opinion) that
    those who *do* seize with glee upon inadvertent errors do so because they
    have minuscule genitalia and an entirely unsatisfactory life.

    They could well be nazi's and rapists, into the bargain.

    So stop it, there's a good lad.

    Whoa! - you're (presumably) both over the age of consent and, yes, you do
    have the law on your side (regretfully) but don't you think it would be a
    nice gesture to confine your arse licking to those times when you and the
    older gent are alone together?

    You'll notice that I chucked in an aberrant apostrophe there - just to be
    kind.

    Without wanting to appear unduly unkind, it's extremely difficult not to
    feel superior to a semi-educated gippo, such as yourself.

    I am, however, doing my best.

    If you can tear your eyes away from the pursuit of your latest ebay bargain
    (something old and ferrous, no doubt?) you will notice the close proximity
    of the 'S' and 'C' keys on your keyboard.

    You will also (if you take the trouble to read the post that appears to have
    offended your grammatical sensibilities) notice that 'obstruse' was
    correctly spelled - which would make it rather unlikely that I would
    misspell its peer, given that only the first vowel is different.

    So, to sum up - case dismissed, you unwashed ebay tinker.

    That's certainly relevant to some of the participants here - particularly so
    if I happen to pull out at a junction and inadvertently send them wobbling
    off their motorcycles at full tilt ;)

    Motorcyclists should get their comments in now - tomorrow might well be too
    late.

    Such a loss to humanity.
