Yet more irony! :rotfl:

I will bet they try and get prolific posters banned next.
I am sure they have tried in the past.

I could quote something they have written to a court about me, if you want. All a lie, all provably so.1 -
There is still a transcript floating around of when I called someone "a crackpot wallet emptier".
Judge said that was ok though, :beer:1 -
So, when people constantly post names and use words like "scam", "cowboys", “rip-offs” etc. it becomes a legal problem and we may have to remove threads and posts to protect the site.
And if I was a person who " wanted to stick two fingers up at the parking firms." would I be breaking the rules?
So if I was to write :-
"These supposed 'fines' are a Wild West measure. Whether the cowboys do it at supermarkets, retail parks, hospitals or housing estates, they're often unenforceable."
I would be using inappropriate words, according to the opening post.
The bits in italics have, of course, been lifted from MSE's own current (Feb 14) article on fighting parking tickets.2 -
