its not like there is any really useful information overthere anyway. most of what i have read there has been incorrect.AZhitman wrote:They banned you for pursuing a scammer?
Clowns and retards.
Here's an open message to the "management" (LOL) over there: It's bad enough you CLAIM to be the "original" and "largest" 240sx forums.
It's bad enough you send members over here to start crap.
It's bad enough you tout your classifieds and group buys as the best on the web.
BUT banning someone for trying to get something back that's rightfully theirs, AND defending / protecting a KNOWN thief?
You guys may as well pack it in right now - Expect the noose to tighten and the hammer to drop.
You're now accessories to the scam.
It's boycott time, Gentlemen.
If you give a DAMN about the good people who have been scammed, stop ALL traffic to a site that defends / protects thieves.
If a forum is knowingly allowing, and therefore assisting, a scammer they are defenitly at fault.sebazztard wrote:i just joined today but ive been following this thread for a bit now. i just wanted to comment that ive been a member of Z ilvia for a short time and ive had no problems with any business over there and the information on the boards has been extremely helpful. i just dont think you should say Z ilvia is **** cuz of 1 person. i think both nico and Z ilvia and any 240sx forums are very informative. i just wanted to leave a msg that just cuz some ******* is ruining ****, its not the sites fault, nico still has his account active too... but on a serious note, i do hope this ******* gets his face beat in. i almost got scammed out of 4k myself recently and im still pissed off that i put some trust in someone with my girls savings account . be careful who you deal with online, nico,Z ilvia,ebay, its all buyer beware.
Yes, even if he had only stolen a couple hundred dollars (though like d!ck said he has stolen much more) he should spend time in prison. That's how our criminal justice system is supposed to work. When we start saying "well, it's not THAT bad a crime, they shouldn't have to actually be punished," then our system becomes completely ineffective. Then you have to start figuring out how to draw lines. Say he stole $300 and shouldn't be punished. So when do you start punishing people? $500? $1000? $10000?pileofherpes wrote: You think Alec should have to spend 5 years in a prison for stealing a few hundred dollars.
See, that stupid comparison is a perfect example of what passes for rational thinking on the Left. If you saw the pictures of Alec you will see a guy who is in good health and obviously not on skid row. Yet his stealing of car parts is compared to the theft of an M&M. A loaf of bread is the more common example when one wants to portray criminals as having to steal to eat.pileofherpes wrote:Edub1,
Why don't you move to the middle east? That way when you get caught stealing an m&m they'll chop your hands off. You think Alec should have to spend 5 years in a prison for stealing a few hundred dollars. Sure, he's a douchebag, but there are worse criminals. Alec won't go to jail; it's doubtful he will even be arrested.

I agree with everything else you said, but that quote is dangerously flawed.Edub1 wrote:"Those who have compassion for the indecent lack compassion for the decent."
