Question,
Does Super Smartman wear his underpants inside or out?
Answers on a piece of batter pudding please. (Make sure you stir the batter well)

Why are you lot focusing on the poster rather than what he wrote? It's understandable when somebody is a dealer masquerading as a punter, but that's clearly not the case here.

The thread is about dealer attitudes. Are you offended by that?

I agree that there is no point being personal but he was quite insulting in his own post rather than totally objective so wasn't surprised by some of the responses.

They should argue with his points then and discuss whether what he said was valid, not make up fairy tales about him.

.. having read some of his previous literature, perhaps "away with the fairies" is not too far off the mark. He is strongly of the opinion that confining postings to matters technical is too prosaic.

There is a troll who regularly appears on these pages.
There is a certain textural construction to his posts that suggest that either we have a number of people displaying the same characteristics, or one person adopting multiple identities.
I The poster generally opens as a newcomer with a mild posting
2 Quite quickly he/she moves to a 'Looking down from high ground' position and belittles other members.
3 Conducts him/herself as a parent addressing children, virtually demanding answers.
4 In one way or another, assures us that he/she has more money/ better qualifications, you name it.
5 Seeks to hurt and insult (Box shifters etc.)

This poster can be found on this forum and the charging post, seems to be active in the Brexit debate.

No wonder that we attack him

Thank you for your comments.

No. Obviously I am not a troll, or plant or someone just out to merely cause mischief and you'll become, acutely aware, of my integrity and sincerity when I address Nemesis's question. (Below)

I just find it frustrating to observe the insular attitude, some, (not all), dealerships take with regards to their industry.

And, with regards to inflamatory or controversial exchanges, I'd say ... perusing the threads on this website finds scores / hundreds of occasions where you folk rip each other apart already ... without my help or intervention!

... So my particular comments shouldn't particularly offend.

The following is dreary, distressing AND poignant, (at a Shakespearian level), but, to address Nemisis's question, ... my profound invention, my "entirely new engineering principle", my 'invisible, tamperproof, fixing, security and anchoring system' that beat 200 businesses from 25 countries on Earth - 2 years in a row ... to take top, no 1 prize ...was so, so successful ... it turned me, (it's inventor), into an entirely different person, ... (pause) ... a person my beloved wife of 20 years ... no longer recognised .............

That led to Jackie and I splitting up, separating and getting divorced.

Many women file for divorce due to "another woman". My wife files for divorce because of a component comprised of propolyne* and , (marine grade), stainless steel.

And YES ... That experience ... the experience ... the HORROR of losing my 20 year love story of a marriage ... unhinged me. :-(

What did I invent? (This is for you, Nemisis).

I'm wore out explaing this in real life, let alone online but ...

Let me explain ...

The Problem

When my father had a valuable garden ornament stolen from his lawn, I
wanted to ensure that such an incident could never happen again so decided to investigate security and anchoring solutions to meet that need.

I reasoned I should look for some kind of invisible, tamper-proof system so
that burglars or thieves couldn't easily unbolt, saw through or cut whatever
would be holding down the secured object.

I also wanted to use concrete as a foundation but not have the hassle of
having to dig up or excavate the concrete if dad ever moved house or needed to remove secured object(s) for maintenance or repair.

However, when I searched the DIY stores and locksmiths for a suitable invisible, tamper-proof anchoring / security solution, I soon realised that no such system existed.

I would have to invent one!

The Solution

I solved the problem when I remembered a story about how African tribesfolk used an ancient method to catch monkeys.

They would place fruit in a hollow tree and wait for a monkey to find it. A
monkey would arrive, put its hand inside the hole and grab the fruit.

In grabbing the fruit, its balled fist would then be too large to come out of the
hole.

Unwilling to let go of its prize, the Greedy Monkey would stay there until the
hunters arrived .

It was trapped!

My Gravity lock works on a similar principle.

I created a hollow tree, (A chamber), A fruit, (A steel ball), and a monkeys hand, (A patent fastener), to produce a gravity mechanism that would re-create the 'Greedy Monkey' principle.

Gravity Lock works on any plane, in any environment and in any arrangement.

https://google.com/patents/EP0721040A2?cl=zh

If you were in my circle, confidence or friendship group, you'd handle products, view 3D animations and view the whole Gravity Venture on my personal website.

Nemisis fails all of the above ... but I've generously revealed the basics ... just to show I'm not working on B.S!

Hey! I'm an inventor ... A REAL inventor, (like De Vinci) ... and the only reason I might appear kooky or adjacent or eccentric is because, compared to you dead eyed grazers, I'm off the grid ... OR ... "Away with the fairies".

My advice?

Don't knock the fairies.

Without them, you lot would still be living in caves - banging rocks together.

The above post includes a link relating to my patents.

The patent information reveals my name.

I'm not that comfy about revealing such information ... but it is already in the public domain.

Hardly troll behaviour, is it, ... to reveal ones genuine identity online?

In this thread we have Beach, a nutty professor who says he operates on a higher plane than the rest of us.

And we have d8veh, a patronising teacher trying to tell everyone how to behave.

It's two fingers from me up to the pair of them.

It's ok RobF. I'm done here now. I'll not be distressing your little mind any further.

See you in another couple of years. x
