If you have the actual quote from the survey saying that I'd be more than happy to see it, and then I'd get to see the video again.

If the company wants to hunt me down and pursue me then fair enough, perhaps they would be able to answer my question.

I forgot how this forum works - people don't bother doing anything unless they get something out of it, do they? So I'll provide a whole year's worth of the product to anyone who answers my question...

I'm afraid that I, too, find your tone aggressive, and I didn't find the responses in the other thread to have been written by "squares".

Perhaps there is something to be learnt when respondents in two threads offer the same advice?

This site works by offering help and advice without condition. Contributors don't expect to be insulted - nor bribed.

It was a simple request for a bit of information, but no one wants to help as they fear the Internet Police may come after them - this the culture David Cameron has created and I fear for the future.

No. This forum works on the basis that most of us try to honour agreements we enter into.

I'll let Martin know this and he can change the address from MoneySavingExpert.com to PayFullPriceAndHonourAllYourAgreements.com...

I fear for the future, too, especially where civil liberty is concerned.

Two things:

Perhaps others who did the survey you enquire about didn't read the Ts &Cs that stick in your memory about an encouragement to discuss the product/service/whatever; anyone who did read them, though, would probably remember that part clearly because it is so abnormal that it would grab the attention.

Secondly, what is wrong with "honour"? Do you, then, not honour agreements you make?

Wow, your comments get more absurd with every post.

For what it's worth, my comment was correcting a GENERAL point you made. I've been doing surveys for over three years and not once have I ever seen one encourage discussion of the content outside of the survey, the exact opposite in fact.

I, and I suspect others who have commented, did not do the survey you are referring to and so aren't keeping quiet out of fear of David Cameron or the internet police, but because we can't answer the specific point you asked, but have in fact tried to help you by answering with what is the normal situation for survey taking - just because you disagree doesn't mean they're wrong.

Your desire to be offended by people trying their best to help, and to accuse them of being cowards that are part of some big conspiracy theory, suggests this (or any) discussion forum may not be the place for you and you should perhaps stick to commenting on illuminati YouTube videos.

So no one knows the answer but can't stop themselves offering their opinion on a matter that doesn't really concern them.

At least Illuminati YouTube videos are on topic, and probably have more reasonable and intelligent discussion.

No, they try their best to offer what help they can rather than ignore someone, which I'm sure if we'd done you'd still have thrown the same accusations at us of being scared to say anything.

On second thoughts you best stay away from them then!

dgi_n,

Have you noticed the massed hordes of Valued Opinion members rushing to your defence? On either of the threads that you have approached?

No. Me neither.

If you're feeling a bit lonely, you might like to consider your approach to people. Because, according to you, we are square, scared, lacking reason and intelligence (ha!), not wanting to help, financially naïve, and we jump to conclusions and offer opinions that don't concern us.

Your sure know how to charm folks!

Where do you work? Rupert Murdoch's diplomacy department?

If people who were unable to provide any help had minded their own business, or simply said that they did not participate - rather than attempt to take the moral high ground - I would have moved on elsewhere.

Now, instead of aiding your sad attempts at post count boosting, I'll let the three of you get back to your little positive reinforcement circlejerk and continue my investigation elsewhere.
