In the good old days there was always some charachter who was referred to as the "Village Idiot". That's what I call our local CL police. However, a couple months ago there were some really outrageous attempts to sell Wally World bikes as LBS bikes and at high prices. I left the Village Idiot's posts alone because, ironically, he/she was correct.
IMHO, if your Village Idiot is critiqueng ads of bikes that are true rip-offs they're doing you a favor. If CL gets a bad rep for bikes sold there being rip-offs it hurts all of us who want to use it for legit sales of good bikes at fair prices. If they're just a moron who likes to use their imaginary knowledge of bikes, then they deserve all the crap that's thrown at them.
One Village Idiot went a little too far and publically suggested that a local flipper was stealing bikes becasue he had so many nice old bikes. There was some sort of "you'll hear from my lawyer" post and the idiot disappeared for a long time.
