That doesn't bode well Kev.
Surely you're just buying some poles from China and flogging them on?
Am I right in thinking you just wanted some of Alex's pole hose to run up 'em?
Whatever people are thinking is probably more negative than the content of the email.
If you do decide to show them, it may bode well for future custom...

[kevinc]

if kev is buying some poles from china-good on him,kev can buy his hose from wherever as his brushes from other suppliers,it seems someone has spat his dummy out and is threatening all sorts of things (that in my mind would be classed as a bully)we all know now that 99.9% of poles come from china-so what?

Obviously this forum is biased if you can't mention other competitors other than sponsors,  same with mentioning other forums as people have been banned for mentioning them.

[kevinc]

there seems to be a lot more going on than what we forum users can see,yes this forum is biased,that can be seen by the posts/topics and the way people are slated by useing other products by a small minority-thats why others have left to move on to other forums

Has anyone been banned for doing either?

I can only remember members getting banned for being too abusive or insulting, etc or in one case, putting a link up to a crude porn site.

I would assume that some sort of copyright law infringement has taken place, or some1 maybe has promoted their 'Chinese' pole as a Gardiners pole.

Alex seemed happy to talk publicly about it - not so windie 😷

Unfortunately I doubt we will hear the whole story...


And as a footnote, a seller has the right to refuse a sale to any person. For whatever reason, just like we don't have to clean a property.

The only ones that seem to leave seem to be the ones that can't take a bit of banter/abuse and spit their dummies out before very publicly announcing they are leaving.
Cue most of us saying 'don't let the door bang you on the arse on the way out'
Then the dummy spitter creates a new id to log back in and see how much he is missed.
Which he never is.

I seem to remember someone posting that the clamps on the Chinese pole looked like Gardiners clamps or something like it.

I think you will find the guy that locked the subject has done exactly that a few times

there really is some clowns on here, and clowns following clowns

all that said it is probably easier just to ignore the clowns and not worry about it

I was only talking generically.
There was a guy who did it only last week.

Here we go again.

What do you exactly mean by that and why?
