I was talking to a local born and bred Dulwichite over the summer who explained that he didn't bother with the EDF or it's debates as his one cursory read revealed that "They're all mostly self important idiots apart from the gentleman called Marmora Man who is the only participant I could credit with any real intellect".


A true compliment indeed and on that occasion I chose not to disagree!

While I don't actually think anybody for a minute mistakes anything they do here as significant beyond the immediate circle of people who participate, I couldn't for a second blame anyone who thinks we sound like we do; we are a pompous bunch of tosspots I must say.


Marmora man a thoroughly decent chap though. I think he felt the levels of debate had been descending for quite some time and either the drawing room was too little too late or was just the same pompous nonsense wrapped up in a thin veneer of intellectuality.


But do come back!

That is more than likely the case. He was looking for a new job as I recall. So he's probably got more important things to do than post on here with the rest of us slackers.

Reports of my demise have been exaggerated (apols Mark Twain).


I am bewildered, but secretly chuffed, by the compliments from readers.


However ????? has it right - overall I felt the level and quality of debate had deteriorated. A swift glance at current contributions does little to change my mind.


I may glance at EDF occasionally in the future but I've weaned myself from it's dangerously addictive allure and have learnt to "just say no".

    • Hi, The seller has already been restricted from making posts on the forum (including in the For Sale board) straight after you initially reported this. They do however still have access to their private messages so that they can contact you. If its clear that they have no intention of resolving then they will be permanently banned.   I would recommend making contact with the company as you will require evidence that the item is stolen if you plan to report this to the police. If so there is useful information on the Citizen's Advice website: https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer/somethings-gone-wrong-with-a-purchase/if-you-think-youve-bought-stolen-goods
    • That's like the cartoon of the person who goes to IKEA for tea lights, comes out laden with stuff and says "Damn, I forgot the tea lights"  😂 
    • Have you tried contacting the company the laptop belongs to? I expect they would be interested.....
    • Last week I bought a Galaxy Chromebook Go on this forum, the seller was not home when I went to pick it up, I texted him and he found an excuse apologized and said he could deliver,  I accepted and later that evening he delivered the item in the original box ... all seemed ok until my son (it was supposed to be a present for him) opened it and tried to log in his google account, to our surprise it stated that the laptop was property of a company and could not be used without authorization. We tried to contact the seller, and he initially provided some excuses, but after his initial responses, he stopped replying to our messages. I informed EDForum but no action has been taken as the seller is still present on the forum... I am very disappointed
