I would like to bring to the attention to the users of this board an email, which I received from a person called Mike. (corkeysgifts@hotmail.com)

I wonder if this attitude is echoed by other users of this site, which is supposed to offer information and an open forum for people to discuss products, services and personal opinions.

This email was sent, following my postings with reference to my companies new website, offering high quality Keyboard products at fair prices

The text below has censored, due to its obscene nature.


SENDER = mike (corkeysgifts@hotmail.com)

SUBJECT = Thanks for nothing

= MESSAGE =

thanks for sh***ing on our bulletin board with your commercials.

may you and your sh** products rot in hell.

I asure you that this is not the attitude of
the majority of the members of this forum...
IMHO....Your web-site displays a product that a lot of our members keep asking for...
I am one of them....However the members may feel, there is no need to be vulgar and rude. Yes, these are open and public forums and if someone disagrees with your post, then they should say so with civility and humanity. Thank you....

People express themselves in different ways which we have experienced here and everywhere else.

Although I may not agree with the criticism, or how it was expressed, he didn't make it public like many do.

He sent it to your personal email.

It's never appropriate to be vulgar. However, it might have better to post your ads on the Buy/Sell forum, and then post a topic here pointing to it.
Anyway, welcome to the group!

Well posting 3 sales promotion postings on this one forum is simply SPAM ( though I have deleted all but one of them ). I am not surprised you received an obscene email. Why are you surprised that that was the outcome ? I understand the views expressed by the sender of the email and and I am hard pressed to find a reason I shouldn't simply freeze your account to prevent you posting like this in the future. Can you give me that reason ?

Posting personal e-mail, no matter how friendly, vulgar, abusive or whatever, is an absolute no-no anyway.

Thank's Nigel, I was thinking of place a comment about it as spam myself, but did not dare just in case it would be misunderstood.
Also see this adverts at Technics forum.

Ditto.. Go spam somewhere else, or preferably not at all.
