He's explicitly asked for it to stop as well.


I've been trying to think what he's done that makes people respond the way they have?
  1. put the ad in this forum as well as the for sale forum
  2. over-valued the car
  3. has made duplicate posts in the past
  4. buys and sells quite a few cars
  5. asks for lots of advice on oople, and doesn't always take it when given

And what would the corresponding reasonable responses, by reasonable grownups?
  1. a shrug of shoulders maybe? Remove/move it if you're a mod
  2. don't buy it
  3. ignore his posts/respond anyway/inform a mod etc
  4. good for him, it's his money
  5. same as 3. At least he's caused lots answers to question which may help other rc'ers
At least they sound reasonable to me.

I agree with concept racing - well done stampy for keeping at it despite being picked on. I don't know if I could keep coming back if I'd been through the same.

Cheers,
