Are you alright Chris?

[jim360]

Not every victim of a scam is "thick". Depends on the nature of the scam.

TTT's answer got removed but I don't think I've ever agreed with him more.

[ToraToraTora]

cheers jim, I can't abide con men and I can't abide those like buenchico that support them just because some people are not as savvy as he is.

[ToraToraTora]

it seems he is protected by the editor.

[ummmm]

He's a mod.

[ummmm]

And the Ed wouldn't be at work now.

[Mamyalynne]

If you need to report his comments the Editor should see them in the morning.

[ToraToraTora]

I expect to be suspended soon, support me in this while I'm gone.

[Theland]

Why can't Plod do this?

[ummmm]

You were right, TTT, could have said it better but your sentiment was right.

As a mod Chris shouldn't post things like that, imo. He belittles people with feelings.

He's an insult to autistic people. He's self diagnosed.

[ToraToraTora]

well I just hope the real ED sorts this out in the morning. Buenchico is clearly abusing his moderator powers.

[ToraToraTora]

thanks for your support, in the morning we must all petition the ED

[Mamyalynne]

Don't make this thread all about Buenchico, it is doing no good.

Theland, British Police are stretched enough, to trawl call centres all over India etc is a huge task.

[ToraToraTora]

this is a Mod gone rogue it's all of our jobs to resolve it. He's posted disgusting tripe and then tried to suppress the response. If he could he'd have suspended me by now.

[Buenchico]

Just for the record . . .

>>> Buenchico is clearly abusing his moderator powers

I have NOT removed any posts (on any thread) at all tonight.


>>> He's an insult to autistic people. He's self diagnosed.

Diagnosed by a no less than a professor of psychiatry, actually.

[ToraToraTora]

you're a disgrace sunshine.

[emmie]

just for the record i am somewhat peeved that this thread has become about one person, his comments are not to my taste but that's life. can we keep this on subject for a change

[waterboatman]

Well done the beeb!

[emmie]

indeed boaty, but it was the hacker who highlighted the problem is you read the link...

[wolf63]

I don't agree with what Chris about Scam victims but if he believes it surely he has a right to post his answer?

TTT - calling up your cyber-posse to go after one of our fellow AB members doesn't reflect well on you. Take a long look in the mirror before criticising others.
