There is no need to attack a fellow poster by refering to intelect etc.
The way I see it, if one doesn't like someones post (provided its within the forum rules and applicable law) dont bother contributing, or at least be civil about it.
If you are referring to my latest post, I didn't say that your initial question went against forum rules. I contributed an answer and argued against users who found this thread 'pointless'.
I also did not attack any PARTICULAR forum user - paying attention to the exact wording can be important.

What I am saying is, that in my not so humble opinion, people who approach MLs with forum reviews, or even worse, with what other users have confidentially revealed in PMs, to try and gain a personal advantage with a total disregard for what this might do to MLs and the respective users are idiots, if they do it out of ignorance, or A-holes if they are aware of the possible consequences and don't give a shiny sausage anyway. And I stand by that. Behaviour like that is the reason why fewer and fewer people are willing to share good intel here - about which some users keep complaining.

Also, trying to discuss 'extras' in text conversations, messenger chats or over the phone prior to visiting a shop is idiotic, not only because no ML or shop manager in their right mind will engage in such talk, but also because it can be used against shop owners or MLs in case of a raid. And I won't apologise for this statement either.
