    Erm calling people Stupid is not very nice from lisyloo a 5 star Member

    That's actually a common way of phrasing a reply, derived from the phrase "It's the economy, stupid."

    I don't think it was meant as offensive.

    Absolutely.
    But I have apologised twice now, so I'm not sure what else can be done (apart from beating myself with birch twigs :T)

    Can we all move on now?

    Nothing to see here :rotfl:

    Things just don't always come across in black and white as you intend sometimes.

    No its not OK as I was the first here to point out. (rolls eyes)

    However she admits she was in the wrong, I accepted her apology. And before all her old buddies like your Dabooka started attacking me again and asking for me to let it go like you saying things like "its not helping" I acknowledged that she wasn't talking about me, but other people.

    However, if you want me to continue to explain how I find the conduct of some of the "established" members of this forum disgusting then I shall continue if that will make you happy Dabooka? :mad:

    Blimey, lighten up! I was simply referring how you suggested everything was fine as the word was being directed to others, as I pointed out from the start; there have been a couple of posts in the last few minutes with the reference.

    With regards to "Old Buddies" and "established members" one thing you need to learn is a high post count or long membership doesn't amount to anything to me, and I'm sure others too. The content of the post is what I either agree or disagree with, but with the lack of a "You're talking b0ll0ck$" button to counteract "Thanks" those views can't be recorded.

    All I did was acknowledge the orginal post which contained a few pointers as to why people get declined credit, not becasue it was posted by any particular individual.

    So get over yourself, and don't start accusing people of attacking you either.

    I now wonder if the final and simple reason is this:

    Too Many New Customers Today - Thank You.


    Just my thought on the matter anyway, would be interested to see what you all think? ;)

    Anyhooo, back on topic......

    This argument holds as much weight as the "I failed my driving test because the examiner has already reached his pass quota for the week".

    In other words: total nonsense.

    Credit application or driving test; each applicant is judged on their own merits on the day. If you're good enough you'll pass/get approved. If not, you fail.

    Simples.
    Remember this: nothing worth doing is easy.

    If only Bush 41 would have played the victim card, maybe he would have been re-elected? (Though these days its far lower than Credit Card fraud, and easily topped by Race card fraud given the current occupants of the White House).

    Unless people are filling government/company quotas...
