never offered you any tiles. Please could the forum moderator log into my account. i would like to take this matter further.

I don't find this laughing matter. Please come forward with your messages and references quoting that i have offered you art and invader tiles. I have my reputation online here

I'm waiting??

Not even sure what I just read for the last 10 minutes... how much for that time back? Money ready

This is basically a guide on how to derail your own sales thread. Truly embarrassing.

Seems like hates not outta date after all..

So, just to clarify, you've reported yourself to the police for selling fake goods because you were accused by some unknown person on a forum.

liked i said, I don't sale fake art.
I wanted chads007 to prove this, just to give you heads up. met police will be monitoring this website.

No, I think he's Spartacus

Given how long the tit-for-tat between kobina and chads007 has lasted (many months, or perhaps even a year?), I do question their mental state.

And now, the good news. All is not in vain.

There is in fact a valuable lesson to be gained here. Even if it hasn't yet been learnt by the above members, it will have been quickly understood by many others forced to endure their incessant exchanges.


The lesson is as follows:

No party is left unscathed in a prolonged mudslinging match. Regardless of past or present rights and wrongs, regardless of their respective grievances, both parties end up coming across as petty-minded.

When neither side is capable of exercising dignified restraint, or even appreciating the mire they've allowed themselves to be dragged into, it results in further losses of credibility and respect which are often difficult to win back.

Before writing on a public message board, it's always worth considering how your post might be looked upon by other readers. Or how you might be judged if someone checked your profile and clicked the link, 'View this member's recent posts.'

One test I generally carry out is to imagine family members, close friends, acquaintances I respect, work colleagues or bosses reading my post — both now and five years from now. If I would be embarrassed or otherwise uncomfortable by this prospect, then I usually try to resist pressing the 'Create Reply' button.

kobina why not post some pics and an asking price for these two pieces, it might just get this thread back on track.

Or...you know...we can carry on doing it your way.

Very strange thread.

Another anomaly, is you can't "press charges" that's the Police who then go to the CPS who decide if it should progress to court. Unless that is you are the police / CPS?

No mum jokes, Interpol are monitoring this thread and they might put you in detention.
