    Its not really up to uptomyeyeballs to do this, but I have to agree that some people are sliding into dangerous territory. I can't see this thread lasing much longer with the accusations that are flying around. Clearly it is being watched by the mods, judging by the comment made recently regarding some people keep hitting the abuse button (I wonder who that could be?!)

    Eh?

    If you make allegations that folk have libelled a company in this thread, tell us the post and the reason why. If I made such a serious allegation, you of all people would be jumping up and down to back up such a claim.

    So back up their claim, or withdraw them.

    Philanthropy and altruism. 2 words that shouldn't be in the same sentence as 'Quentin'. Which is why I haven't put them in the same sentence.

    Well said Carmine! :T

    Oh you are silly man or woman aren't you. Take a leaf out Carmine's book and develop a sense of humour. After all I do believe you are a human being even if some here doubt it

    Your post made me laugh! Me of all people? Do I get the impression that you do not like me?! Is it because I pulled you up on your rule breaking? I haven't accused anybody of libelling a company, I just wanted to see evidence of this e-mail to JJ. I don't think this is unreasonable, he has made a serious accusation, not me, and I hope he can back it up otherwise he just looks like a disgruntled ex rep.

    I also now laugh everytime you copy a post but painstakingly remove all mention of the cashback card (obviously this sentence will be removed if you quote me!)

    Glad you get a laugh out of me.

    There are other prepayment cashback cards.

    This thread is for discussing uw, not to make an aunt sally for uw reps/supporters to have a go at!

    As previously mentioned, what is the point paying for a risky uw prepayment card if buying expensive utilities is the only way to realise the discounts?

    The moneysaving thing to do would be to buy your utilities via the cheapest supplier, and if you want a prepayment card, get one not tied to uw. (You cannot be so helpless that you cannot find them yourself on the net!)

    I see the reps now get paid a fiver for each card they sell, so clearly uw's motives with this card of theirs aren't purely philanthropic.

    It has nothing to do with what I think of you, although you are defending their inexcusable actions. You do have a habit of defending the indefensible, odd.

    So again, uptomyeyeballs, back up you claims or withdraw them!!

    Clearly jimexbox is unaware of the law if he thinks I can take out a 3rd party libel action. Libel action is quite expensive, and damages, if awarded, depend on the extent of readership. As this board is very well read, then any defamation would potentially be exposed to many people, it could cost a lot of money if action is taken and the defendant can't prove his defamatory allegation to be true. MSE will also be implicated in this thread, as although it says it isn't being moderated, it clearly is as the Mods occasional interjection proves. Anyway, if running a bulletin board, you are essentially the publisher, so are open to action if you allow posting of damaging allegations to remain without censure.

    Quote the post number and your reasons why.
