Stand by to be chastised by the self-appointed forum police.

The matter of this skippers arrest has been debated at length and police brutality has been established.

In their world what you have done contravenes the rule of not being on here 24 hours a day monitoring each post.

Thank you for posting.

I do believe that you can be reported to a higher authority, possibly Natalie, if you post the following:

''(Item) for sale on EBay''

Perhaps you should try that
