amey, do yourself a favour, log off and never come back.

just when i thought to start going to the south beers :(

amey, go down to south beers, introduce yourself and things will be sorted out. The forum has forgiven worse.
If your flatmate jumped onto your account as you suggest, give them some harsh words and start using a password, and get them to come on and apologise for making a mess of your reputation. otherwise this will just run and run.

Never mistake the forum in its computer version with the people you will meet on rides and at beers, it is two different things, and you will be welcomed in real life, as much as you may be flamed on the internet..

^That. BUt make sure you kill your flatmate 1st.

yeah i do have a password (ofcourse) but i am always logged in.
the guy who wrote it has 'issues' as i said previously (visa being rejected and stuff) we were all drunk. I cared more abt my balance on stairs than my netbook last night ;)
i m sorry for the mistake

Just an idea, instead of deleting your posts you could have edited them.

Doh - https://www.lfgss.com/thread51906-2.html#post1673673

i know i generally PM these days . . i have grown up :P

yea and he wrote it with 'anger' as his visa got rejected :P

It is funny though, you and your flatmate kinda share the same way of typing...

what a fucking weirdo... why even bother making up a bullshit cover story.

i told u that was the only post he wrote the one which starts with hello and i deleted coz i dont want ppl to misunderstand it

I still don't entirely agree with this, Corny. Online and offline personae don't seem that different to me, although admittedly I don't go to drinks, only certain rides (which incorporate plenty of banter).

Maybe it's only at drinks where people are totally fake ;)

you made me laugh,
was just trying to separate the perceived internet notion that we are an irascible, unwelcoming bunch who are far too judgmental for their own good, which seems to have taken hold as many newcomers seem to fear meeting us in person...

missed that stunner!

lush.

What?

we are an irascible, unwelcoming bunch who are far too judgmental for their own good

That's just Velocio.

I guess the forum has grown up in a way.... a post like amey's "flat-mates" post a few years ago would have involved ridicule, assaults, insults, general raping and pillaging... but probably be forgotten about the next day as someone else did something silly :)

As Cornelius said, it 100% helps to goto some of the drinks and get to know actual people on the forum... then you'll get forgiven for worse ;)

this was my last post.
I am always logged in everywher and i never quit my browser.

I just re-read the whole thread amey, by post 30 you were already getting seriously on my nerves. What made you think that you'd have any right to dispute musikism's dibs on that bike, you were already coming off bad mate. How the fuck has the forum changed for you in 6 months? That sort of 'I can give you cash now, sell to me instead' approach its exactly what is changing the forum...
Forum etiquette, you've even free-cycled stuff already... seriously man. I am disappoint.

amey, these were your words, were they not? or was it your imaginary 'friend' again?

''Dear benjam,

I am from a developing post-imperial/colonial country called India.
If in future you go there and manage to get something like posting a 13 kilo bike from one city to another city just by going to the post office and asking their help, I think you will be knighted. I don't believe the fact that system works, esp with English people and 'ROYAL' mail.

This is where post-imperial/colonial part comes in. I always wondered why everything in India is so inefficient until I came to UK and saw the motherfuckers who ruled us. But the sad thing is in India we cant afford to be inefficient cunts as our 70rs make £1. That will change soon though.

The reason of the 'outburst' is the lack of constructive criticism on the forum. If you think the bike is overpriced, say so, if some one needs help either help them or shut the fuck up. I thank kingcutter who at least offered to help. Don't be English, consider there is whole world out there, be polite and try to help others.

Thank you and please delete the thread as I have no interest selling it here.
I also dont mind being banned from the forum for saying this, I don't really care. Wasn't that the 1st thing the British did in India, gagging everyone who spoke up against them.''

yes its mine and its logical, what my friend said was racist

@ Amey..^^I think you've just shot yourself in the foot with that one son. It seems you and your "friend" have an uncannily similar attitude. It may be logical to you but it certainly isn't rational and looks pretty racist to most folk with half a brain. Tell me how a sweeping generalisation like "Don't be English" can be taken in any other way please. If you struggle to work that one out, just substitute "English" with any other nationality/race, including your own, and see what you think then.

Grow up idiot.

Reading through this thread i'd say both you and your
Friend Mr hyde have chips on your shoulders
You both also have race and socio- economic class issues and
an arguement with an Empire that
Is crumbling .

Imho.

what does it mean when people say 'have chips on your shoulders'?

amey.my mate pete (indian) from kidderpore,Calcutta would call you... just off the fucking boat,but to me your just an ignorant prick
