I love internet drama.

I belong to, well several, internet forums. The fun happened this morning on one of the motorcycle/FZ6 forums. One member, a moderator, posted a for sale ad for some "revolutionary cable lubricator" that's "patent pending". Yeah, it's a set of 3 syringes with engine oil in them, and a flexible tube fitting to attach to them. I called him out in that it's neither 'revolutionary', nor is it actually patentable because it doesn't pass the "nonobviousness" test. It's 2 off-the-shelf parts put together to make an "invention". I called him out repeatedly about it because he never responded to my questions.

This morning, my posts were deleted, and I was then banned for a week from the forum, after being warned and doing nothing more. Damn moderators sure get butt hurt in a hurry. LOL

Right. I called him on it. and I somehow got in trouble for it.

I'll admit to intentionally trying to start shit. Oh well. It was fun.

of course you got in trouble. He wants the other idiots that don't know better to spend their money on it. LOL!

I hate it when moderators do chicken$#!+ stuff like that.
