    Default Proof Of Marketing Bullshit Effects

    Dear friends.

    We are witnessing first hand the effects of skilled marketing bullshitters, especially when they double team us.

    The quantity of posts in the last couple of days has gone up 10 fold, the level of vitriol has gone up 20 fold. That is marketing for you it gives you more and more of the totally wrong things until it goes pop.

    Well how long do we have to wait for Ashley and Jesus Christ from Brum to go pop? With the amount of hot wind farting around I am hoping quickly. BUT don't hold yer breath, they are a disease and diseases don't give up easily. Is it time for the white blood cells to do their work - pretty please moderators!

    Hi Richard,
    I'm tending to agree. They seem to be working on the principal that if you bullshit loud enough and long enough then people will believe it.

    They (and their compatriot 'Martin' - an AVI 'Technical bod') seem to forming some sort of AVI 'posse'!

    I'm bored with them!

    How about restricting them to only refering to AVI in 1 in 2 or 3 of their posts.

    You called me a muppet so how about giving them Clown status baggy pants and nice big red noses

    You banned plastic grinder though he was a nutcase.

    Actually to be honest they must realise they are doing themselves no favours and even the least intellegent of them will give up or calm down eventually. I wouldn't mind just occassionally being told I should stick part of my anatomy in a Ipoodle dock and AVI sticks it up it better (the best), but every other post and every thread no matter what the subject matter

    LOL. I could add the names "AVI" and "ADM9" to the software ban list. Then all that would appear is a series of asterisks

    I like the idea of a title change for the 'AVI boys', as a little joke, but I'm not sure it would go down too well!

    Blame bad-boy Rob for your "Muppet" status
