Nifty Posted June 22, 2002 Share Posted June 22, 2002 A little harsh I feel. Was he not just using an out of date creditcard that belonged to himself? Had they picked this up then he would have had a little more strife perhaps but no more harm to others. Surely, drag racing down a crowded runway is at least as prattish?

wag Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Aw, that spoils all the fun. We cant even talk about VBH anymore. Mr Crickmore cannot be rude about BMWs. None of us can be rude about tupperware sevens. At this rate, I shall have to start talking to my wife again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
posix Posted June 23, 2002 Share Posted June 23, 2002 Hello EB, Paul, Roger and others... First of all, as Roger points out (I wouldn't even bother, actually) he or anyone else running this place is not responsible for what I say. And neither should he be. The "Internet" is full of people mistakenly believing they are owed something, a service or information; this is not so, EB. We are all here voluntarily, no one is forcing us to be here and no one is forcing us to contribute anything, especially not "anyone flaunting dodgy credit cards is an asshole in my book"-type of comments. I am not flaunting or advocating anything. Forgetting for a moment that it was MINE, MY credit card was a perfectly valid credit card albeit cancelled on my request, due to damage inflicted upon the said card through everyday use (sainsbury's and such). Also forgetting for a moment that the "law enforcement officers" in question (fascists in my book, that's what their "Auftritt" was like anyway - ESPECIALLY SPEAKING THEIR LANGUAGE MYSELF AND HAVING LISTENED TO THE CONVERSATION THEY'VE HAD ABOUT ME BETWEEN THEMSELVES) had no shred of evidence (i.e. proof to you and me) that I was actually doing the indicated "number" (182) on their 'phasers-on-stun' device; for all I know they could've been "shooting" low-flying (heh, pun there) sparrows or DC-10s 2 minutes prior to our encounter. Forgetting all those things, you can still call me an asshole, but in an email to me, not trying to involve everyone on this board in seeing how righteous and politically correct you really are. I am new here, and I wouldn't like to impose on anyone around here, especially since this group seems to have none of that common garbage found on many a board nowdays and I commend everyone here for keeping it like that. So, stick to the topic, EB. It was "speeding tickets in france (or else)..." and about harshness of coppers throughout europe when they spot "ZE FOREIGN REGISTRATION MARK, JA!?"

Snapper Posted June 24, 2002 Share Posted June 24, 2002 I must say Excess Baggage's posting always make me chuckle, even when he has directed his wrath at me. I can see why some people get offended, if you don't know EB. We don't expect anything to the contrary, in fact I have missed not seeing some of his outrageous posting recently. teeth.gif What a colourful out web site this is tongue.gif Edited by - Snapper on 24 Jun 2002 09:07:41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excess baggage Posted June 25, 2002 Author Share Posted June 25, 2002 Roger, If I ever get a spare hour I may decide to read that lot. Sadly I don't think that a spare hour will present itself in the forseeable future. I take it that you are threatening me with expulsion from the 7 club if I don't mend my ways? Don't hold your breath, put it to the vote now so that we all know where we stand. If I feel that someone is a prat I am afraid that I will express that view. Had you been around a little longer you would be aware that I am always one of the first to jump to the defence of 'the team' when they are slagged off, and despite your (I suspect independant)comments I always will be. If I am allowed to continue my membership. Please. Love and kisses to you and that Brazilian ********. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanB Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 Can someone explain to me why this forum is open to rude and charmless people such as excess baggage? I just hope that excess baggage is easily identifiable as such so that I can avoid him if I ever have the misfortune to meet him in person... Dan p.s. Can someone else also explain to me why excess baggage's totally gratuitous outburst should make anyone 'chuckle'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Griffiths Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 This is one of the best chat forums, it is astonishing that a few supposed like minded 7 owners seem bent on spoiling it for the majority.

Tim Sture Posted June 26, 2002 Share Posted June 26, 2002 I am quite happy to be rude to people I know, and admit that sometimes rudeness is funny, but there is really no excuse for being offensive to complete strangers, no matter how silly we consider their postings - it shoud be possible to disagree without descending into calling people names - and supporting the team when attacked is no excuse for disregarding the rules. If the rules are not adhered to, and Blatchat is shut down, we will all be very much poorer and I for one will be very annoyed. Self control is a sign of maturity. Mind you when it comes to cars I'm one of the biggest kids around! There's nothing wrong with coming last - especially as I was next to next to last cool.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
