Are Some Folk Really This Stupid?

No, it was not me who showed him this thread, it was a nasty spiteful idiot from the Swapz website who sent it to him. He phoned me at work to explain what had happened and I logged on to have a look.

And no, he did not try to kiil himself over spelling! Your flippant remarks are disgusting.

Then why the hell are you on this forum preaching to us?
None of us actively went out to hurt this guy, if he knows how cruel people can be then the last thing he should be doing is going on a thread like such.
Yes it's mean, but sometimes ignorance helps.

Also, if he didn't "try to kill himself" don't say he did, or make it a point in a discussion if you don't want people to question it.

My entire time at secondary school my best friend at the time was dyslexic and I did not make fun of him ever. However it is a wonder how after all this time basic words still fail him. Problem was you dare not try help him or he'd throw a hissy fit.

Thank you very much, I think that is the first sensible post I have read in this thread.

Anyone who knows anything about cars will take the car on face value, without the prejudice and ignorance.

What if you have a deep hate for Subaru cars and want to punch people in the face for driving them all loud down the street keeping you up at night and generally being way too "out there"?

Also, if you know a thing or two about cars then you'd avoid the one being sold because of lack of interior pics which is usually an indication that the interior is in a lacking state, probably never been hoovered, had the trim cleaned and probably smells of fags!

And the face value is that its parked in a cycle lane across a junction and written about poorly. There are plenty of other Subarus out there for sale by people who at least give you a bit of confidence they give a stuff about anything.

I understand most of you men have aboslutely no feelings, and probably dont give a crap about the people you hurt, but please - in this day and age there is no reason or excuse for ignorance. I'm sure you are far from perfect so put yourself in his position - how would you feel if someone posted a whole thread about your failings, tearing you to little pieces? I very much doubt you would like it, so please just think about your words

I doubt it would be a pleasant experience but I don't think I'd want my girlfriend to try and chastise some of the posters and inflame the situation further.

On the day this topic started, without wanting to get involved with the thread, I emailed him a corrected version of his ad to copy and paste. He really should use it, not for the sake of the snide jibes here but because it simply would help to move the car on.

And the fact your generous offer was completely ignored proves that this is not the case of a guy struggling, but it is just another lazy chav flogging a 'Subaru innit'.

If he was a genuinelly nice bloke struggling with Dyslexia he'd have happily taken your correct example and thanked you for the help.

He didn't.

I wonder why.

As stated in my last post, I did not tell him about it. In fact I was probably one of the last to know. He knew about it a week before he told me what site it was on because he knew how upset I would get about people being that spiteful.

It hadn't even been up a week before you posted :confused:
 
He emailed me back and politely explained why the ad is like it is. He did say thanks, twice.

I don't know why he didn't use the corrected version, perhaps hayley111 would advise him to do so.

I've not commented in this thread, however with all due respect Hayley, I have a lot of friends on here who I know in "real life" and we regularly tear eachother to pieces over trivial things on this forum - car choice, driving style, air freshener scent. It's the way the forum is, very blunt and honest and admittedly sometimes very brutal...but it's just words. The next time I see the same people who have slated me for buying a Golf or not buying an MR2 turbo we get on right as rain.

At the end of the day this discussion wasn't meant to reach the eyes of your buddy selling the car, it's unfortunate that it did but I would suggest you tell him to ignore what people on here are saying because it really has no impact on his life as it's just a few E-people poking fun at bad spelling and that's it. Nobody is laughing at his dyslexia, they were simply saying how a badly written advert can hinder the sale of a car due to making a negative first impression.

I appreciate you probably wont accept what I've said and to some extent I do understand that. But as you said, with all of the problems in the world today, life is too short to be worrying about minor blips like this.
