P.O.U.S.theWonderCat

So because someone uses their real name when posting on public fora, they are immune from criticism? As for whether he is unable to defend himself, he has an account with this forum and was last here on Friday - as you may well know, Admin. He's more than capable of defending himself, although his style now appears to be to threaten litigation to administrators rather than addressing the criticism openly. Unfortunately for him, you can only sue for libel if the thing being said is untrue. I've bumped the thread evidencing what has been said. Sadly, the other forum deleted the posts in question, but you can gather what has been said from the context and there are plenty of people who read what he originally said who can bear it out. There are always ways to get hold of the original cached pages anyway. If the man once had the courage of his convictions to stand by the vile things he at least then believed, it woukd be a shame to use censorship to facilitate whitewashing.

Bump for the Forum Wars thread

Quite right Apple. We should all be tolerant of everyone's views. After all, telling a women she should have aborted her pregnancy because poor people shouldn't have children, or lauding Enoch Powell's Rivers of Blood speech is just a another point of view. Nothing wrong with that. Good thing there are people like you to come and defend him. After all, it's not like he doesn't regularly come by here of his own accord anyway. Oh wait.

Come to Honor Oak Park and educate the locals then...

Mr Beach has somehow rebranded himself locally IRL in SE23 as some sort of nice guy and Mr Community. Given some of the sickening views he displayed beforehand, I still find this mind-boggling.

Is it against his lease to smoke? I can't stand the smell of stale smoke either, but it is legal and not unreasonable for someone to smoke in their own home unless restricted by the lease. And smells travelling into halls is par for the course with shared common areas - I have to deal with smells from neighbours all the time, including unsavoury smells of nappy changing which are apparently coming through sockets and under the floorboards. Adding to the above remedies, you can get strong reed diffusers that a very good at masking smells. But obviously you have to like a strong perfume smell too.

As a buyer, KFH took us to one property that met our spec then told us not to bother with it as there was a better one around the corner (which of course was overpriced). It ended up selling for ?50K less than asking, and this was in the boom market.

Kid, Libraels are literate people with a sense of humour.

I found floorsanderrental.co.uk unhelpful. These guys were the best combination of price and reliability for me: http://www.floorsandingandrestoration.com/

I've used Marie before. She's brilliant.

Thanks - I'd missed some of those usernames.

For those who were planning to use Guy or have seen the other recent complaints about him, please see the above.

I honestly don't understand why the Administrator hasn't added Guy to the con artists list. One of the moderators themselves have pointed out he/his household have self-recommended. One forum member had to threaten him with legal action and there have been other reports about him overcharging for materials, doing poor work and not turning up to complete the work. Weirdly, most of the posts with negative feedback about him have disappeared, but I've bumped one that I could find. Guy posts as Greenfields, SEFencing and the MarketGuy.

Indeed. My post has gone as well now (although I don't care because his has too). I'm struggling to see what the Admin's issue here is though. My post was utterly factual - Frank has actually said in writing, in public, on this forum that he doesn't see anything wrong with a neo-nazi website. If you're taking a fine turn in semantics, you might say that Blah describing his view as being a neo-nazi sympathiser is a step further, but I think you'd struggle to find a judge who'd agree. What would be acceptable Admin? Posting a copy of what Frank wrote on any of those threads? Or indeed Blah posting a factual account of what message (s)he was sent by Sean and the context of its receipt without connecting the dots? It's very important that people who might use this forum for services are informed as to who they are hiring. And whilst it it can't be defamation if its true, it may well be criminal if it's threatening and/or supporting a procscribed group. I can't help but think the wrong people were targeted here, both from a moral and legal standpoint.

I've never been able to find anyone who would take them unfortunately.

Forgot to mention - most places will not take pillows or duvets.

Are you self-recommending now, Frank, as well as proclaiming that there's nothing wrong with neo-Nazis? Tsk tsk.

Can the admin determine whether the accounts are set up from the same IP address?

Try TRAID. They'll collect. https://www.traid.org.uk/

What RPC said, with bells on. It is extremely distressing having someone stuff up your hair, and if the salon involved is defensive, it is hardly conducive too wanting to come back in again. No-one is obliged to return to a salon if they have a complaint of poor service. There are other ways to evidence failure to deliver a service adequately. I know of plenty of salons that have been able to be flexible on this point.

And for what it's worth, I also agree with your premise that suggesting racism is an essential part of being white working class is counterproductive. It's just that no-one here has actually done that.

I compeletly agree that Frank doesn't represent working class. Neither I nor anyone else on this thread have suggested that. Frank was the one that introduced class into the discussion; Joe was responding to that particular point. No-one else on this thread, other than Sidebirds, has made any suggestion that any characteristic can be attributed to an entire class of people. Hence, your criticism of people doing so to working class people is misplaced. I repeat - the only people on this thread that have made generalisations about an entire class are the Frank and Sidebirds, who have made offensive representations of people who aren't working class. And not that it should be relevant, but I'm white working class myself.

Amy A, it is equally offensive to suggest that non-working class people are not able to see the real world or have had everything handed to them on a plate, or that they are all latte-drinking, nibble-eating snobs. The only people on this thread that have made offensive generalisations about a whole class of people are Frank and Sidebirds. Your criticism is misplaced. [edited to correct typo]
