    That's a bit offensive.  They're not all the same.

    Ok....Ok so we have turned Mihail into our personal Borat and his protest statement " amps for sale " thread was a bit puerile but I don't really get the funny ...........ie taking the piss out of his pigeon English....."let us to see the dialogue " etc ..At the end of the day the guy was only trying to express his frustration in a language that is not his own and probably a million times better than anybody on here could in Bulgarian or Romanian or wherever he is from ......good luck to him .
    I think in many ways he had every right to be pissed off by a reneged deal although the seller is not contractually obliged in any way and as it's his goods he can sell to whoever he wants at whatever price he wants..............such is life . Ban him if you like but don't take the piss out of him trying to express himself in English.
     Certain foreign contributors of late should quite correctly be banned -IE DIEGO ;who was simply opportuning on any WTB thread and offering to bespokely fulfill orders from Spain "where guitars are much cheaper " -that needed to be fucked off
     

    In context the request to "let us see the dialogue" was in reference to seeing the emails he sent to @TTony, which is also what I believe he was referring too originally.

    We are a non-discriminatory forum, happy to give gentle mockery from Chesham to Bulgaria :)

    @randomhandclaps - I think you are missing the point totally - of course they are not the same - somebody pointed out in earlier thread that he had an IP adress in Bulgaria.......I am myself of Lithuanian origin - my great grandparents came here unable to speak English ;thats why I find the piss-take offensive; but just for the record Romania does have a very high Bulgarian population and also a very high Hungarian population (to the point where a large part of western Romania is Magyari speaking )
      The statement above is supportive not Offensive !

    People have different viewpoints though.  See like I view that this line "Also, it's heavy so collection from surrey only" from Hugbot's original for sale thread kind of negated Mihail's every right to flip his lid and harangue both Hugbot and TTony when Hugbot didn't want to send it on a magical mystery tour of Europe. 

    Maybe if English is not someone's first language and as a result they struggle on English language forums then should take an evening class learning basic manners and gentles pleasantries before tackling outright abuse... Or I suppose they could have just watch a couple of Guy Richie films.

    In the case of Mihail, the mocking came after he let us all to see the toys going out of the pram. It's a mocking of attitude, not of background or quality of English.

    If he does have an ip in Bulgaria that makes me quite glad I didn't sell to him. One of the reasons I was hesitant about it was he was being vague about how exactly the amp was going to get to him just going "we'll sort it out later" when I wanted specifics.

    It's not the use of the language. It's the language combined with the explosive launch of the toys from the pram for, at best, a debate able reason. Taken together, it's properly funny. No one here is trying to be racist.

    You might think that, but after the pre-ban barrage of PMs, I now receive a daily email from him instead.

    I'm half tempted to let him rejoin and leave him to you lot, but I'd only have to clean up the mess afterwards.
