well hnybnch, i'm now in a position where having done nothing wrong whatsoever i feel i can't use For Sale at all. and it's got nothing to do with the bumps, thread titles, picturetrails etc and everything to do with the fact that when i politely asked someone to 'perhaps' 'consider' putting what they were selling on their thread 'next time', i got flamed by a truckload of For Salers who all came onto the thread to say that my name had been circulated via email as someone who was etc etc blah blah blah.
i'm quite sure that hunker, VS, fletch, lapin etc are subject to the same discussion (does it take place on Bounty, i wonder?)
so i see on the site stuff section that some changes have been made, and enquire what they are and proffer an explanation as to why it might appear different to some and not others, and yet i was jumped on again. hmmmmmm.
now i know that you've apologised for that and i accept it, but given that there was nothing in my post that warranted a kicking i rather suspect that you barely read it before responding. you also said that i'd been very rude to you before and promised to link to it but couldn't find anything.
all this them and us stuff, it's true at the moment. it's not savoury, it's not particularly adult, but it does exist and having been at the receiving end of it, it's not only one-sided. it's not in the spirit of MN at all... shame you couldn't see the A&C thread, you'd have seen me arguing strongly that it has to be the same rule for all of us and any selling shoudl be done on For Sale.
it's just ironic that having previously been vocal campaigner to keep For Sale, i now feel that if i have anything to buy or sell i have nowehre else to go by ebay. and i know who i hold responsible for that.
