Bonnet badge for 2003 E85 3.0

You referred to people as 'lazy' and 'stupid' then trip yourself up with a 'stupid' use of English gramma.

Your posts were intentionally confrontational rather than informative, and as far as I'm aware... I still posted the cheapest link, used or not. Though I'm sure you're busy scurrying around trying to find anything that you can to prove me wrong again.

My comment was intended to be helpful. You just seem to have a bee in your bonnet.

You seem to have grabbed the wrong end of the stick and are trying to defend yourself.
I was pointing out to you that the item you linked to was a used part, you might not have noticed. The person looking for one might not notice either until it landed on their doorstep with marks on it.
Surely pointing out that it is used is informative?
The lazy and stupid comments were not directed at you but to everybody who buys anything and thinks Ebay will be the cheapest without looking elsewhere.
You have decided that I was being confrontational, look back all I said was that it should be cheaper as it was used.
If I really wanted to I could actually post a cheaper used badge but what would be the point, I am not trying to wind you up.
I hope I have spelled everything correctly this time.

In fact no I'll sneak a bit more time.

I apologise if I got the wrong end of the stick, however... you're comment was "It is used though so should be cheaper". To me that's a little condescending. A simple 'It is used though' would suffice.

Too many people on here are quick to try and assert their superiority. A semi- arrogance of an 'I know best' culture. Your comment "If I really wanted to I could actually post a cheaper used badge but..." is a case in point. I'm not here for a game of one- upmanship, but if I sense an unwarranted display of such then I will tackle it head on and I will win.

If someone posts something constructive and potentially helpful, why does the automatic response all too often on here try to take that post down and win some points? Yes I knew the badge was used, if you were innocently pointing this out then fine, I still believe I was being helpful. If someone unwittingly receives a marked badge then they probably should have checked the accompanying photo beforehand. In this case I believe the badge looks in pretty good nick, so again that use of "so it should be" leans more towards the 'I know best' culture I was referring to. Remember, as soon as you place those two pins into the associated slot on your bumper, that new badge becomes a used badge, and no more valuable than the cheaper used one you could have bought.

I'm sure there are tons of better deals no matter what and where you buy, but if someone is only trying to be helpful why not resist the urge, maybe subconscious, to take them down a peg or two? Again I apologise for any misinterpretation, but when you look around this place and see so many examples of the case in point, it's all too easy to misinterpret a situation, especially in this environment of textual communication.

Truce and no hard feelings

Ok then smart arse, explain how this was helpful.
The way you read my post about it being used you thought I was being arrogant. I wasnt. Its just the way you read it. The same for my post about people buying from Ebay thinking its always cheaper. You thought it was all about you. It wasnt.
So what exactly was that post all about?
Take a leaf out of your own book.

Haha I missed that!

To be honest it was a childish put down I just couldn't resist such an opportune moment... To then fall at the last hurdle by repeating the mistake is unforgivable !!!

To think, I tend to proof read my posts before submitting too. I must have been light headed from the altitude of my high horse.
