Col, I hope you weren't one of those who complained on a recent thread about the nanny state!!

Clearly the Oople community will decide what they think is best. My view is that if people cannot do their homework; if they enter into agreements (like PayPal) they cannot be bothered to read; if they make any assumptions about people they 'meet' over the internet... they get what they deserve.

Personally, I am roundly fed up with being made to do this or that, behave this way or that, just because there are a few idiots out there who are unable to do their homework, and unable to take responsibility for their actions. With my tongue in my cheek, and not a little sarcasm, I am also fed up with people trying to ensure that the idiots don't die out naturally, and creating an environment where they thrive!! Banning PPG only makes sure that the Laws of natural selection favour the idiots and breeds more of them!!!

Seriously, let the Oople users and dedicated community members decide. I would prefer to be able to act as I think fit to keep my costs down, but if everyone feels the need to protect people from themselves, then so be it. Thanks for raising it Col, hope I am forgiven for hijacking the thread for a rant... of sorts...
