There seem to be a few STW regulars who have gone missing lately - I used to like Realman's insightful posts and wit. Where's he gone?

I did find out that Elfinsafety had been a bit naughty though, so that's why he's gone.

Realman; That's one person I hope doesn't bother coming back. What a knob he was.

He seemed obsessed with slaming stems.

Jesus - that is a bit of a vendetta?

I have ridden with the guy before Xmas on a road ride and seemed OK to me?

I think peoples on-line persona can be misrepresented TBH - I sometimes have taken the wrong meaning to a post?

he might have gotten the best guy in the world award for all we care, but he ripped a guy off and wouldn't back down, he only has himself to blame.

@Zipyy - having quickly read through that post it did seem he offered a refund? Of did I misread it - That thread got closed for a reason - maybe best not to got there again? 😉

dunno, last time I read it he had his back up and stopped posting on the thread.. I'm not re-reading it again, as I have formed my opinion of him.

Though it was proved he wasn't Luke, which did educate me. :mrgreen:

I was going to ask where Hora had gotten to, but I found he's posted earlier today.

On a slight tangent, that stem in the king of the mountains pic does NOT look slammed! 8)

(realman, if you're reading this, I'm only jealous cos I can't hack a slammed stem myself)

BTW - Just found out that Realman was knocked off his bike by a car 2 weeks ago and had to go to A&E so prob why he's not been around lately!

Realman posted up the other night, but was immediately asked if he had refunded the chap for those brakes, and that seemed to be it. I always found him quite funny, but his behaviour with the brakes seemed to show his true colours. It was kind of ironic after he did the post 'bigging' himself up the day before. Unless we think cheating folk on the classifieds is ok, we are better off rid of him imo, you make your bed....blah blah.

I am up for welcoming him back if he puts it right. Call it forgiveness, 2nd chance, he made a mistake, whatever, but he has to correct it. Otherwise he is persona non grata, and will get harried every time he appears on here until he puts it right.

Well I try not to judge but reading that post I am put off slightly from selling anything on here just in case the mob comes round with bombers!

nothing to put you off foxy. Play with a straight bat and the lynch mob will keep at bay.

Do you mean my post? It's not about baying mob, it's about a community policing peoples behaviour. As far as I can see it is a an insignificant minority of people who rip other people off. But if you get ripped off it feels pretty bad.

Toys - just my POV that's all 🙂 I have sold things on Classifieds but I make sure its is described right as don't want any come back. If its knackered I won't sell it - spares box or bin 🙂

Did he not used to be a regular on Bikeradar until a falling out with people. A quick search would suggest he's not to popular on there either. Maybe it's in his personality to upset people.

Foxy, as long as you are honest with what you are selling then there won't be a problem. Also if you can resolve any potential issues with the same honesty it will only enhance you selling reputation.

that was me, disappointed he didn't respond. He seems like a nice enough fella but behaved like a proper arse over those brakes.

If its true that he got knocked off his bike, then healing vibes out to realman.

Maybe get some better brakes, no? 😉

Well there you go then, where's the problem.

Whatever motivates people to behave properly, in your case it's obviously a sense of honour, fair play and honesty, in others it's the threat of internet dislike that keeps them on their toes - or out of the playground.

TBH I would like to know where the mods are in all of this. If it was my forum I would have kicked realmans arse by now.

EDIT:

Also if you can resolve any potential issues with the same honesty it will only enhance you selling reputation.

This ^^

Which is why you foxyrider have nothing to worry about, if you made a mistake or accidently misdescribed something, you would correct it and take the hit if necessary, nobody is going to object to that (and if they do they might get the same level of disdain from me anyway)
