I am SO annoyed!

Don't usually check messages on this id but went for a quick look.

An email from a member with the title of WHY

They started off thanking me for the advice I had given on postage then referred to my very tongue in cheek biography

Was born, am living, what happens next?

and gave me a link, expecting something of a humorous nature I typed in the url (no link clicking) only to be presented with some trash from The Watchtower which I consider on a par with any of Aleister Crowley's deranged ramblings.

Do these people not realise that some of us consider some things offensive? If I want to be preached at I can find an infinite number of places where I can go, I do not expect it on ebay!

These creeps are everywhere; you cannot get rid of them. I once in desperation said: "I have got my own religion, thank you, I am a Muslim" thinking they will p... off. Not such a luck, they decided they really have to save me LOL. Now I have a sticker saying NO RELIGIOUS SECTS and the official DO NOT KNOCK sticker, and the moment they knock , I shriek at them pointing at the stickers and slam the door. So the ordinary pimply youth do not come anymore; now I get the very serious elders in threes................... Last time they came, I told them that as it is now criminal offence to knock on doors with the DO NOT KNOCK sticker, I will report them and have them charged with trespass; that was before Xmas and so far so good 🙂

Forums are like bridges and as such attract trolls of all types and description. Am I surprised that forum trolls lurk within the deepest & darkest recesses of eBay forums?.......no. And neither should you be

I would be annoyed too, but I wonder if they missunderstood your biography and think you are looking for God?

Got to ask though, why do you have a Saeco Vienna Digital coffee machine as your avatar?

:^O Sorry but couldn't help laughing PJ.

Maybe they think you need saving. :^O

coffee machine? :^O:^O:^O Hahahahahah. Austeam, long story but you missed an entertaining thread. I don't know if it's still here but half the posts in it were probably reported and deleted.

I saw the La Pavoni fake seller thread, and this buyer has (not) purchased several coffee machines. Almost makes me want to pretend I don't sell coffee machines. Might have to change my avatar :^O

I have many cousins in that religion, and one or two have tried to convert me.

My philosophy is heavily based in astrology and it's very amusing to hear them try to debunk it.

In that religion they are TAUGHT how to pull the stuffing out of other religions and beliefs.

BUT, I am very knowlegable/good at astrology and have never yet failed to UNDO their answers/dubunking.

P.S. me and my cousins get on fine.

The other day I was reading about a religious T-shirt slogan that says

Truth + God = Life.

Of course, that means, using basic mathematics, Life - God = Truth, so I think the majority of people wearing that t-shirt may have missed the point.

And Life - Truth = God

PJ, why is it offensive to you?

Re: I am SO annoyed!

phorum_junkie* — Wed, 09 Jan 2013 05:31:04 GMT

I think any sort of religion is bunkum, and I certainly don't believe in astrology, scientology or any other ology unless there is food in it :^O

As for perhaps they thought I needed to find myself!!!!!!

Quite the opposite, with all the food I have eaten over the last few weeks I need to lose a good part of my ample self :^O

As for that black/brown drink that some people put milk in, didn't you know we all have to drink instant now as any mention of a mechanical device that prepares coffea arabica

for consumption will get you into deep trouble]:)

That is so funny, the forum (paypal) preacher is annoyed by someone preaching to them.:^O:^O:^O:^O

Would it be rude of me to laugh 😄

I did. 😉

It's funny how applying logical and systematic deduction to such equations often results in a conclusion very far from what was intended. :8} :^O

My husband decided he wants to follow the Klingon religion. Apparently they killed all their gods because the caused too much trouble!
