2 members with a total of 13 posts since 2008 stirring the pot. While ozneddy has come forward I'm seriously questioning the the other 2's motives.

Ozneddy,
You came clean, no one got stuck with a fraudulent purchase. And you don't need to dismiss yourself from the C&V forum. Just remember, you can't justify your actions by the personal loss you went through. It's like giving into it, and ultimately lose.
You are well aware of the the *****storm of personal loss and crisis I went through in 2012 and spilling into 2013. That alone should make you feel relieved a bit. At least you're not me.
But I've found the will to survive and not let it change who I am. The reassurances of good folks and friends reminded me of that. If you are responsible of personal mistakes, hold yourself accountable to them and move on and grow. Don't become bitter. Life is too short.
See you on the forum!

To me, this is really black and white: a seller attempted to defraud someone on Craigslist and got caught. We all see it on every CL every day, big whoop.
Post or don't post in the future, change your username, list the reasons for why you did it, whatever, it doesn't change the facts.

Anybody with Secret Squirrel as their avatar is OK in my book. I loved him and his side-kick, Morocco Mole, back in the 60's...

I'll be happy if he just starts using apostrophes where needed instead of commas. I don't care about the bike.

Forgive and forget; I make it a point to become best friends with every ebay and craigslist swindler that I catch.

wow, thanks guys! gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to see ned getting sympathy for being in the wrong.
"oh, that's ok that you tried to con someone. at least you fessed up when you got caught"
just wow. i'll bet he sells that bike to someone as a san rensho before the end of the month. grow some balls, ned.

I am sure this thread will be locked but it is unfortunate that ozneddy tried to scam you mungo and you are right, he will probably sell that "3Rensho" to someone who has less google skills than you. I hate to see my local CL used by scammers and I am very sorry to see that BF has such a flippant attitude towards it but I am not 100% surprised. I guess you can flag him but what else is there that can be done?

Why didn't you sell it to him then? You had a change of heart? Or because he found out? And your apology only came because he found out, right?

Ozneddy, dude, you apologized and thats a good start, and stop making excuses as its just going to make things worse. I think once you "man up" and get over the fact that you were caught doing some ****ed up **** you'll be fine. Just don't come back to this thread, participate in other threads or start your own that have nothing to do with this one, Munga doesn't have to accept you apology but he also doesn't have the right to follow you around the forum starting things back up, if he does report him for harrasment, (don't get me wrong munga, I feel Oz was wrong but he apologized, don't buy any ****ing bikes if it makes you feel better, I know I won't till he regaines our trust, just get over it already) and please, for the love of crocs, stop with the ****ing pity party bull****!, we've all been through some rough **** I'm sure, just move on and give it time and believe it or not things will get better.
