who here is pretending to be someone else and libelling me online?

Can anyone recommend a second hand enduro bike for under £150?

Life certainly is tough for some but suspect it’s a might tougher for a few others around the world. What a sad thread.

Can someone tell me how to read the scandalous review. The link in OP post just takes me to some posts that I’m sure wouldn’t be generating this response…

On a side note – if you had to choose would you rather wonky fingers or bulbous toes?

Bloody hell is this still going? I’ve read a book, watched a bit of snooka and bin for a ride. It has a life all of its own….

problem being THE Big Hitter, is 99.9% of the other forumites want to butt fornicate you. life is such.

I have flagged the negative review with Trip Advisor and pointed them to this thread. I also copied in the cafe and the bike shop that was mentioned.

Hopefully now they can sort it amongst themselves like adults.

That’s no way to speak about Flashy Ton

Ok I never, but would for the lols if I could be bothered.

Bloody hell is this still going?

Odd I know, but the world keeps spinning when you’re not watching.

Meanwhile, where’s Al gone? I hope he’s not loitering outside that Cortado shop now, anxiously whittling lolly sticks into tiny blowpipe darts. 😀

Al’s here, but posting under a pseudonym for his own safety.

This is worse than the election and that’s bloody boring.

Hopefully now they can sort it amongst themselves like adults.

The only one of the three that’s willing to sort out his grievances “like an adult” By dealing with it directly with the person concerned, is the cafe owner by the sound of it.

(Although to be fair, there was a threat of “mild violence” involved, maybe rough tickling, or a wedgie? So not that much like an adult)

He’s probably chained himself to the railings

Made me laugh this. Internet bites back

Can it be summed up as

Attention seeker get attention?

In the last few hours AlastairSn’s post has been out liked by Jeremy P’s post by about 6 to 1 – but still has a lot of catching up to do. Which will end up the most useful review – you decide!

Cast your vote now

It’s now neck and neck But I think JeremyP might have this one licked.

If a thread is locked, then unlocked and nobody notices, did it ever happen?

Tree falling in the woods things again. a bit better than my last attempt

Ignore the comment about the cyclist abuse,

No libel there. Simply an instruction

it is a smear campaign by a local business who should know better.

True, by your own admission.

Alan Cole is a self styled internet “big hitter” who likes to make trouble….

…. I’m yet to see where the libel is.

If JeremyP is TJ’s real name (have I got that right?) and it wasn’t TJ who replied to your review (I believe the general consensus is, it wasn’t him) , then he’s the only one who should be pissed off.

The only real way for this to be settled is for you and the cafe owner to have a duel. Obviously each armed with bombers.

And JeremyP (the alias) is a tit.

Right, that’s torn it.

Looks like Trip Advisor have stepped in and removed both bogus reviews.

… with the unfortunate consequence that the thread now makes no sense at all.

😀

Did it ever?

No. But at least it swirled angrily around a visible object of nonsense.

🙂

… with the unfortunate consequence that the thread now makes no sense at all.

And we’ll never know who was the most useful.

It’s great advertising for the OP mind. If one was cynical(not the op) you might think it was done to bring attention to the business.
The other thing to ask is if a company gets shitty review (possibly with reason) can they cry to TripAdvisor and get it removed?

Yes….I had to go straight from page 1 to page 5 to understand why I was confused!

All I want to know is if the scrap bike is still locked to the lamp post?!

Any pics? 🙂

MairiM is the one who needs to get her comeuppance.

well that fizzled out a bit, we didn’t even get to “I’m an ex lawyer” and threats of suing.

Bigjim who says that? Not me. Great hating there.

Brian…yes it’s still there! Checked earlier.

Another nail in the coffin of the STW forum. Ridiculous behaviour and underlines limiting visits to the Bike and For Sale forums in the same way as catfood seems to have reached.

Who said MTBers were an easy going bunch with camaraderie abound? Certainly not much evidence in several of these threads.

But I will give EBC a wide berth I think.

Who said MTBers were an easy going bunch with camaraderie abound?

Nobody.

I’ve certainly never heard anyone say it anyway.

There is no camaraderie in these parts

…unless there is cake

…or beer

…or even just a cup of tea.

Now, who brought cake?

Another nail in the coffin of the STW forum

^ Not really though is it; it’s just sad.

Person gets into a situation (maybe)
Person is fapping themselves unconscious posting about it for attention on here.
Person then fabricates something on tripadvisor to draw more attention.
Person then posts on here drawing attention to that fabricated something.
Person faps more.
Person gets found out.
Person probably still faps because they’re getting talked about.

It’s got bugger all to do with MTBers 😀

EDIT: There’s cake??

The other thing to ask is if a company gets shitty review (possibly with reason) can they cry to TripAdvisor and get it removed?

I think it’s quite (very) difficult to get reviews removed, but the business owner does have a way to reply to each review.

Tuck in!

HUMMINGBIRD CAKE??!!!! THE SICK SICK BASTARDS.
