Mick--the trolling/negative rsponses to posting is almost the norm on the internet. I help mod another hunting/fishing site, and although it stays REALLY +ve and full of outstanding members once in a while someone wants to rain on a parade and the bickering starts....so one warning then I toss them fast. I'm on a music/bluegrass forum and it gets downright ugly...a battle of egos.
I was trying to help some friends with selling their boat...an ad was on here, Kijiji, etc..for a Springbok Jumbo. They set the $$ a bit higher than I suggested but it was their boat, so we went with that price. You can't believe the # of abusive emails I got from Kijiji...not from some one that wanted to buy it, just jacka$$es wanting to vent about the price, the engine, where I should anatomically put the boat, etc. Do people actually spend their days looking up ads so they can send hate-mail??? What a bunch of losers.
...oh, I reset the boat for the owners to what I thought was a market price, and it sold in a day....😎
