    They love to inform us that the advice we give is wrong! If so why are they so concerned asking us to stop giving it?

    We all know why, every day we convert someone to the same thinking as us, and they no doubt pass it on, and more and more are becoming aware not to pay.

    Unlike Coupon-mad who says it how it is and chooses not to hide, these maggots keep popping up with different user names to hide themselves! Give Perky his due he normally identifies himself! However his rants are normally so mad its easy to identify him! :p

    I think Coupon-mad has hinted that this particular person is connected to a company that could be mistaken for a society interested in coloured pencils.

    It seems the PPC idiot who PM'd you shows the same grasp of the laws of defamation as he/she does with the law on parking. How do you slander someone on a forum ?

    Sounds like a crude attempt to intimidate you into shutting up. You are getting to them.

    Keep up the excellent work.


    You can't slander someone on a forum but you most certainly can libel them.

    All publicity for the cause is good publicity.

    The more people that know about these people the better.

    Sorry had a rush of blood to the head there:D

    Ooh, I always thought you were a man, Coupon-mad!

    I love this.... "Don't be surprised if some people find it necessary to take action...". It's like the Mafia!

    Click Private Messages at the top of your screen and then select "Send New Message". Click in the recipient box and start to type firebird20 - you'll see the account come up in the selection box and you can click it.

    Hey presto - you can have a lovely conversation with a PPC Troll ;)

    An individual who issues tickets would have to prove Coupon-mad's posts had directly harmed him in his trade, profession or calling, or had lowered him in the minds of right-thinking members of society generally.

    Am I alone in thinking that's one avenue of proof which is never going to be open to a PPC grunt? ;)

    You have to wonder at the sanity of the person who sent this to Coupon. What did they possibly think they would achieve? :idea:

    Is Coupon or any of us for that matter, likely to be intimidated in the slightest by the pathetic words used? The writer doesn't even have the bottle to write their inane threat on the public forum but chooses to highlight one MSE member for special treatment by PM, as if it wouldn't get wider circulation.

    Astonishingly dim.:o

    Or desperate. :D
