i recently put up a post regarding R1 carb to tb's conversion! i got some friendly help and then my post got sabotaged by someone!
admittedly i ramble on about power and speed but i like fast cars. i then sent him a u2u saying think before you speak and he posted my u2u on my thread page but added about 3 sentances i never even sent him. surely this is not acceptable and kindly asked him not to reply to any of my future posts. am i out of order fot this?

Hi Daniel, ive read it, it seemed to come from nowhere and be very harsh but I dont know any back story.

I do know youve always been helpful to me on here, rather than drag yourself into some keyboard warfare id delete the original thread, maybe repost? and this one and leave it be.

Ignore school bully behaviour as far as possible.

ETA its very easy to damage your online persona by getting into an argument, dont be drawn in

I haven't read the thread but here's what I'd do.

I'd just email the details to the webmasters/moderators and let them deal with it.

the problem is that i never even sent half that u2u message he posted! he just added it himself.bang out of order i think

I accidentally got involved with a slanging match with the Bogg Bros. I have no idea where it came from but by ignoring it, it went away!!
Everyone has the right to an opinion. The guys and gals on here are bright enough to read between the lines and sort out the muppets from the genuine posters.
Put it to bed. It will soon be forgotten.

If it was me I'd just delete the thread

What he said.

I have just read the posting history of the concerned party.
Anyone else who chooses to do so will soon see the truth.

Let it go.

Ditto!

Don't let it bother you...

Just put him on your Ignore List in your U2U's. The signature says just about everything you need to know about him (or her). According to his profile, he's also building N M IS, so is clearly on a quest to try and rub people up. Sounds like the old CalvinX.

Personally, I wouldn't delete the thread. It shows him for what he his. Just keep ignoring him and he will eventually get bored or banned. Either way, he will eventually disappear.

i agree with the above, cos in my opinion the U2U service is as it says between two parties & not for general forum reading, so thats not abiding by the forum rules.
i,ve read the thread but what caught my eye is the statement typed at bottom of the persons post (think its called a signature) not very "in the spirit" of the forum is it?
like others have said, forget it & enjoy your car.
cheers

An anagram of 'garage clearout' is 'RC algae outrage' so it's clearly some kind of angry remote controlled eukaryotic organism posting

That's the simplest explanation I could come up with anyway

He does seem have the same attitude, might not be him though, there's more that one **** in the world

hmm, i seem to remember this user came about when the real guy couldn't sign in a few weeks back, but that was sorted, so not sure why this user name was used to post that

Haha, I went back and read all his posts too! lol!

My first thought (seeing the nicely worded sig' was that it was Calvin!
Great minds eh? lol!

Cheers,
James

enemies?


MikeR - 15/4/09 at 11:25 PM

nemesis ?


Fozzie - 15/4/09 at 11:26 PM

Woah......stop there!

No, it is NOT Calvinx/Dragon.

I always advise in these situations, to ignore 'flaming'.... as others have said, flaming has to be 'fed', if you don't react, they cannot 'feed'.....
