    Are saying that your post has been removed? .As long as you are careful with your words,I don't see why you couldn't name him.

    yes it was because i named the person(not named him,but put his e-bay username on here) who ripped me and 300 others of,ok i could understand it being removed if it was a isolated case,but with that many people he,s ripped of,its not as if iam making it up there proof in abundance on his e-bay feedback:mad:

    It's hard to say without knowing what you wrote. Could you just write the unadorned facts,calmly without naming him,at this point.I am sure people on here could tell you what might get removed,or not,give it a try.Don't get mad-get even-but do it within the rules.If you keep it simple-perhaps at some point ,you could get advice from the posters on here as to how you could name him,or otherwise.Explain,rather than alledge.I don't know much about forum rules,but am sure others can tell you,or pose a question on the site feedback board?

    I mean re-write your post here,dont use the "t" word!

    Unless a company has been proven to commit theft,in a court-I would hazard a guess(maybe wrongly) that you can't call someone a thief.Of course you could write in slightly vaguer terms,with links -saying things like-what do you think of this feed back? Rather than making outright criticisms.

    I think a court would consider such words to be libellous!
    Gone ... or have I?
