Sure, although I'll just say your abrupt, demanding and dogmatic manner in enforcing the site rules isn't very wholesome and seems to be opposed to the by and large warm and neighbourly tone of the site, and peeps doing non hard sell business on these classifieds, but instead treating it as less like business but more as an extension of their (often bike enthusiast) hobby. I don't think it's too much to ask for some common courtesy and proper manners here, for what is clearly a simple error. This defensive, cynical attitude of 'I'll be rude to him as his response will be rude after he considers he's insulted by my comment' is IMO out of place on this forum/in this context, and I would hope for the sake of the community here that you might reflect on what is best in your future involvement on the site. Although, looking at this positively, I'm sure you were just demonstrating a lack of tact and will indeed try to improve in the future, but at the same time (as it occurs to me that your behaviour could be intentional, not merely tactless) I'm aware that a few people (especially cliques) deliberately look to ride over the consensus of opinion, and to them I'd only comment that it's sad that there's always a few people trying to spoil things for everyone else...
