    I'd be tempted to reply along the lines of:

    As this is by far the rudest reply I have ever had I have decided you WON'T have it.

    See how he likes it:D

    Hope you get someone who appreciates your offer a bit more though - otherwise what will you do with it:confused:

    Why? Someone offered a caravan on our Freecycle a few days ago and it was gratefully received by someone else.

    Have you got nothing better to do that trawl Freecycle and take the !!!! out of anything you see which is beyond your apparently limited intellectual and imaginative capacity?

    i've no objection to anyone wanting and or requesting a caravan, i just meant the circumstances of the person posting the wanted are sad, must be a rough time for them. I don't see what i've said thats wrong, but i'm sorry if i have offended anyone. :confused::confused: but i don't see the need for personal insults.

    the comment was about the guys sad and drastic circumstances, not the caravan required.
    everyone else seems to have understood it apart from you.
    "apparently limited intellectual capacity" get a mirror pal
    I bet you saw the caravan wanted bit and didn't read the rest of my post.
    I have seen caravans offered as well.

    !!!!!!, is this for real??

    I should expand on my original post.
    This guy is so desperate he has posted a wanted like this.

    I will add this line so that other people dont get the wrong idea

    have posted an offered this morning, so thought you may all enjoy one of the rudest replies i have ever had



    should i be grateful for the please in the middle?

    Definately forward this to the mods. I'd have emailed them and asked for a phone number so I could phone and tell them EXACTLY what I though of them myself.

    Failing that an email along the lines of..."As this is the first useful thing I have offered, i'd like it to go to someone who actually has some MANNERS!! And just to let you know, if I ever post anything else useful, I won't be giving you that either!"

    Yet again, i'm gobsmacked by just how rude people can be (scroll back in the thread if you haven't been bothered to read the whole thing). I really don't think personal insults are necessary! Go away if you can't be nice, i've had a really BAD week and the likes of you are starting to really P me off.

    Everyone else except Mr Grumpy - oops, Mr Squiddy - understood exactly what you meant. You definitely didn't offend anyone :) I've PM'd you.
