Thankfully not. was a bank letter for a new debit card

*sigh*

Definitely Kittycat style in my book!

Because it's a symptom of trolling and as a mod I get less amused as time goes by.

Which is different but just because someone is going on a bit and talking crap - theres no need to get upset.

Because we get bored of it. We are not here to run peoples lives and get involved in all the ups and downs. People get jaded with it and move on which then dilutes the advice the OP gets, in fact it goes the other way and the threads disolve in to rubbish. We have seen it in your posts, KC's and so on. Your rep status is evidence of this style of posting. It isn't just me before you start having a go, check Cojaks post. Nearly every 8 page thread over a fairly simple issue end up going nowhere and arguments start over whether the poster is a troll etc. It just seems to be the way it goes with these things.

If the OP wants good advice through his issue as it evolves history dictates running a blog on it just isn't the way. People like to help other people but if they can't help themselves it just goes all wrong.

Yeh, but just dont read the thread then......

Dont get me started on the pointlessness of the rep system!

NLUK - OK Fair enough but how does it run peoples patience down? You dont have to read this. I never understand why people moan about stuff being posted - no-ones tying you to chair and forcing you to read it.

Too expensive for them to sue you...

capitalism > creates tension between humans > angry people.

Instead of running an on going blog on this which is running peoples patience down just stick to the fact where you need help and advice?

By the time you need a nother dose of solid advice people are not going to be bothered.

There never was any free speech. Advocating and encouraging acts of violence isn't permitted in these forums. As you well know. So don't push it.

<eek mode on> Yeah!! so there! <eek mode off>

[NotAllThere]

I had one piece of my advice moderated. I don't know what's happened to free speech anymore.

So firehawk was it a letter from your client sent recorded to you?

Sorry cojak - as I said I appreciate it and follow the advice.

This is becoming quite Kittycatesque, even though I don't doubt that it is legit.

One look at your contract however would tell you if you are at risk. One look at your insurance contract would tell you if you are covered. No amount of hand wringing here will alter that one jot.

Either way, just front it out, only respond to legal representation and forget it until that happens, life is too short. The lessons you can take from this and I hope that before you signed your new contract, is to read the thing and get it reviewed professionally first and then arrange for any alterations. Once you are happy with what you are letting yourself in for, then sign it. If you cannot get agreement, walk away. Any other course of action is to risk this all over again.
