    Quentin, What is unpleasent is being harassed in PM's and having to get the MSE Team involved to stop Trebor from spamming me.

    He stopped for a bit but eventually came back and has attacked me in several threads all wrongly. He's rightly on the ignore list and as far as I'm concerned, given the trolling, it was perfectly justified.

    Given he is still doing it (as the quote from JimmytheWig shows up if not Trebor's post) the sig is definately justified as he is doing nothing but trolling. His post adds no value to the OP's thread, it is simply a personal attack.

    Here is a person who claims that buying gloves, grips and bar muffs for a bike is cheaper than buying just gloves. Argues that adding 20 litres of petrol to a car brings no weight penalty (over 4st in reality) and claims that speedometers can't over read when they can.

    The trouble with Trebor as you can see from his comment above is that arguing with him is like playing chess with a pigeon. You can be the best player in the world but the pigeon will still knock all the pieces over, defacate all over the board and then strut about triumphantly anyway.

    Please show where i called pendulum any names too, because I didn't.

    I might call a spade a spade and don't mince words, but I didn't call him anything. I did say it might be karma that he had been bitten but I prefer people to deal honestly, guess it's just me.

    Anyway, thread being dragged off topic, once again, assuming the car was properly advertised and the aircon was working, the OP should be fine.

    5t.
    What if there was no such thing as a rhetorical question?

    Ok, seeing as I appear to be impartial here I suggest...
    1. Fivetide has already put Trebor16 on his ignore list.
    2. Trebor16 should put Fivetide on his ignore list.
    3. Fivetide should remove references to Trebor16 and this whole problem from his sig.
    Then neither of you will be causing problems for each other.

    Other than Trebor16 confirming that he has put Fivetide on ignore I don't think any more of this nonsense is required on this thread.

    The sig is unpleasant and brings the whole board into disrepute - especially when he now says he "ignores" his foe!!

    There you go again, telling lies. You were not harassed by PM and if the MSE team had thought so they would have taken action against me. But they didn't. That speaks volumes about your dubious claims.

    I haven't attacked you and this is yet another example of your dishonest representation of events on MSE.

    You sig is not justified and this has been pointed out by a number of people. And your claim that I am still attacking you is nonsense. I am not the one with an offensive signature line in my posts personally attacking another MSE member.

    And here is a person who consistently misrepresents the facts and twists and distorts them to attack another member. All the above claims you have made against me are misrepresentations of what I have posted. But lets not let the truth get in the way of a rant.

    You have just described your modus operandi perfectly. Just remind me once again who has the offensive signature line?

    In this thread, where you said "given you seem to advocate ripping people off". And I said in response to that "That's quite a serious accusation to make against another member". Nothing in my post accusing you of calling people names.

    You said "given you seem to advocate ripping people off". You cast grave doubts about his integrity.

    When you remove your signature line and cease your childish attack against me then I will be happy to withdraw from this. But I will defend myself against malicious and unfounded accusations made by you for as long as you continue to make them.

    Why don't you utter d*ckheads just keep it to PM's, or would that not be public enough for you?

    OP. Are the buyers stupid enough to have simply not turned it on properly? Can you confirm this as it's been mentioned a couple of times already in this thread.

    When I tried that approach I was accused of harassment and reported to admin. Luckily admin didn't agree that my use of PM's amounted to harassment.

    This macho chest puffing and childish bickering has ruined the OP's thread.
