    ...Most of you who think that that are the most honest in the world, what the hell are you doing on this board??

    What an appalling insult to the overwhelming majority of MSE readers!

    You seem to be suggesting "saving money and getting a bargain" is in some way dishonest - it most certainly is not. In my experience nearly all the people here on these boards are indeed honest, hard working people who are quite rightly looking to make things better for themselves and their families by getting a good (honest) deal and freebie here and there.

    Unfortunately a very, very small minority are not honest - and yes, those people probably would try to buy something with a credit card they found in the street!

    Two other interesting things:

    1. Like at least one other poster you suggest that people who disagree are jealous. Not so. The fact you seem to think that is the case says everything about the fact that you just don't seem to know the difference between right and wrong.

    2.
    ...Fraudulence is meaning to steal something that does not belong to you and you know this!!!!

    Really? For example, you know you are not supposed to re-use these vouchers many times, or even have them and yet you do - knowing it is wrong. A case of you being condemned as guilty by your own words I think. You simply don't know the difference between right and wrong.

    By the way, there isn't such a word as "fraudulence" but it did remind me of another genuine word that your post is full of - flatulence! :D:D:D:D

    Do enjoy your porridge, won't you? :)
  • ...if you find a thread that you disagree with why not just move along to the next one ??

    Thanks Mishka, but if it's all the same to you I'll feel quite free in the future to comment as I please on dishonest threads that drag MSE into the gutter.

    Sure, comment as you please, we all do here !! :rotfl:
    But what I meant was if it bothers and upsets you why keep returning ?

    I didnt say dont have your opinion, ( yet you chose to get on the defensive :rolleyes: ),
    You have made your point, its clear that others disagree with it and as ive said before this isnt the Discussion board its the Grabbit board. If you wish to continue that would be the best place for it.

    All that will happen is the thread will be closed due to the arguments, or was that the intention ??

    Don't forget to get your friend to thank you on EVERY post you make.

    It's almost as though you're using this thread to boost your 'thanks' count.

    Surely not? That would be soooo dishonest.....

    .....funny thing is, this person thanks you to imply that they agree with you and yet.....

    You're fortunate you were able to re-use it at all - many people [including myself] have not had the luck of a second/third/fourth go. All my vouchers show as "no credit left" when I try and re-use. However, I'm happy I got any discount at all, even once, esp that £5 off CD WOW.

    Before I stumbled upon this website last summer, I paid full price for everything; full postage, everything! I don't just mean CD WOW, but many websites I buy from - ASOS, Next, Look Fantastic, HQ HAIR....these days, thanks to this lovely site, I rarely pay full whack for things I buy online, and I'm grateful for that.

    Quoted from here:

    So your pal thanks you for informing us of our crimes - the same crimes that they themselves tried to carry out.

    People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

    Go on, admit it Edna...... even YOU tried the codes, if the truth be known.
    Fog on The Tyne isn't mine all mine... but if I wanted it, I'd want it with a discount code.

    I would suggest that you need to go and get stuck into a dictonary and learn the English language!!!

    The noun fraudulence has 3 meanings:
    Meaning #1: a fraudulent or duplicitous representation
    Synonym: duplicity
    Meaning #2: the quality of being fraudulent
    Synonym: deceit
    Meaning #3: something intended to deceive; deliberate trickery intended to gain an advantage
    Synonyms: fraud, dupery, hoax, humbug, put-on

    As to the re-use of the vouchers, where does it state that it could only be used once!!! Where does it state that you can not re-use it??
