Removing offenders is a possibility, HOWEVER, always in these stories there are two perspectives put forward, and whilst I don't have any reason to doubt what Kenny has said, when it gets to an argument about who did or didn't do what, it gets almost impossible to actually prove what happened.

Well if you have no reason to doubt what I have said then the point of the above statement is what exactly ?
Why would I make this up ? - I only posted to warn others to be careful - in future I will keep my business to myself
As for it being impossible to prove would you like me to send you a copy of the dozen or so PM's I had to send to chase up the bike, along with the replies from the other member full of lies - I can also send you the countless emails from his mate whose ebay account he used showing exactly what he thought along with the tracking no. and eventual post date,my receipt from ebay showing when I paid, a copy of my bank statement showing the money coming out and the engineers report from the manufacturer of the suspension unit showing that the damage had been there for a period of time making the bike un rideable

It seems to me TTL that most of your replies are flippant or verging on being rude - at the very least they are not very helpful and I don't just mean this post
Every reply to any of my posts that you have made recently are a bit too off hand for my liking
Have I done something to upset you at some point ?

I'm surprised by your reply;  sorry if you feel that way.

Like I said, I have no reason to doubt what you say.  That means I think you're right.

However, as I was trying to explain, when it comes down to trying to sort out 2 different opinions people put forward about an event that's happened, it's often very difficult to "prove" who was right and who was wrong.

ie, if the other member comes back and says, yes, but my brother was ill in hospital and then the postman didn't come when he said he would, and my internet connection was broken so I didn't get my PMs, and blah blah blah, even if he's lying through his teeth, how can we prove it either way?  I might KNOW you're right, but if I can't actually prove it, is there much that can be done about it?  If we ban members on that basis, all that happens is they run off screaming about how unfair mud-club is.

Again, sorry if I offended you, I didn't mean to in any way, and I entirely sympathise with your problem.

Fair enough TTL - I guess I'm just having a bad day !
I must admit I do sometimes feel that you converse on here in a teacher/pupil kind of way though  :wink:
I dont particularly want this guy banned - treat others as you want to be treated is my motto - he will get his comeuppance eventually
Anyway, - Rant over, I need to move on now and sorry if I was a bit unkind
Cheers
Kenny

What is going on with this forum over the last few months, everyone seems to be out for blood. Gents calm down read every response twice before you take offence and jump down each others throat and i mean mods and normal members, it is too easy to jump to the wrong conclusion over someones response, keep it calm, keep it fun.
