    Only when your tag team blitzes them with your tear filled, hand wringing complaints. :rotfl:

    Personally I only complain about the out of order few, if others complain as well and the person gets banned its not due to a secret tag team but infact due to the said banned person being out of order and many people noticing it.

    Do you take an internet forum so seriously? :eek:

    Jeeze, do you also write into the local gazette to complain about planning applications and sign off "Anguished of ________*"

    Deary me. Dry your eyes, pet. I can almost see your bottom lip quivering from here! :rotfl:

    Personally, I never ever complain.
    I just demolish them with the strength of my argument. :)

    Same here and I have no trouble with that, its posts which board on libel and slander when having no reverence to the topic in hand which I would report.

    I have 2 ipads, a server and a 42 inch oled flatscreen, in a house worth over 420,000 at last valuation and 58% equity; I am 32. Does this make your head explode?

    As i am a greedy so and so, i can't wait for the day the boomers get their comeuppance. Not long now.

    I wonder if you'll receive any stick for posting these details? The 'usual suspects' say they are even handed but they only ever seem to attack one person.....

    For my part, I raise a glass to you. You've obviously worked hard for what you've got an seem on track for a comfortable life. :beer:

    If that makes you truly happy, contented and untroubled good for you.

    It's worth pointing out that all the electronic junk in my possession could be paid for with 1 months mortgage payment (without overpayment).

    It is worth pointing out that all my electronic bits are paid for never owed a penny on any of it.
