scum.

[Mardy]

The real world is where people often like to make a few quid.It's a place where selling on tickets isn't that evil and going well ott about it isn't that funny.

[Tomska]

Jesus. Some of you dopey muppets need to get a sense of perspective.

[jameshunt]

It would be more accurate for the people who are lying to themselves to be classed as spineless.

Thats not me.. I'm honest about my faults

[Lad]

Hmm.. it's also a place where not everybody is a money grabbing bastard, it's a place where people try to help each other, where people do favours for each other, and where there are lots of examples of people not being greedy.

And yet you are completely unaware that not everyone else shares your faults? Have a read of my edited post:

p.s. in your world there can be no difference between Mother Teresa and Idi Amin. What a sad world you live in.

I see the problem here. People who don't get the "subhuman scum" reference think we can't see the difference between eBay touts and Pol Pot.

Look, of course it's a matter of scale.

It's not as bad as genocide or murder or mugging or child abuse or rape.

It's not as bad as fraudulently claiming benefits.

It's not as bad as participating in a dog fighting club.

It's worse than stealing pens from your office.

It's worse than parking on a double yellow while you pop into the corner shop at 10pm.

It's on a par with selling counterfeit goods at a market.

It's on a par with fencing meat that you've 'appropriated' from your meat factory job.

Where it stands in the rankings of Bad Things To Do depends on your individual view. Many of us agree that it's far enough up that we should generally disapprove of the people who do it.

I dont care of you think I'm spineless. If i was to retract what I said and I still believe to be true I would think of myself as spineless.

And I know for a fact I'm not an idiot. Idiots are people that are easy to wind up on forums

It's someone selling their festival ticket for a profit on ebay, and you lot are acting like a bunch of outraged, curtain-twitching Daily Mail readers.

It's f**king laughable.

Without going back and looking for exact words:

Nedson's statement A: Anyone in possession of an Glastonbury ticket they couldn't use or return, would sell it for a profit.

JamesHunt's statement B: He had a ticket for a previous year that he could not use or return. Rather than sell it, he kept it and still has it.

You, Nedson have three positions you can take:

1. Statements A and B do not contradict each other.

2. JamesHunt is lying

3. You retract statement A

Which one is it?

[jameshunt]

I would think that JamesHunt tried to offload his ticket but was met with a barrage of "You are scum" type comments that led to him seeing the light and becoming the number one toutbuster

[Mardy]

but yeah, pretty much realise that its pointless trying to say this and some people will carry on thinking it's alright to take whatever they can get and f**k everybody else. That's cool. you live your way, I'll live mine, you think I'm a soft touch, I'll think you're a money grabbing c**t. And I'll pass the vodka and the spliff round and you'll just take it, cos that sort of thing doesn't happen in the real world, apparently.

So you haven't read the thread then to see WHY some people are as anti-tout as they are?

[Nedson]

The idiot claim has just been proven by the very idiot himself. Nice one!

What, 17 pages of this twattery? Life's too short. I've read enough to know that some of you need to get a sense of perspective. I don't like professional ticket touts either, but you lot getting worked up into a lather about some bird flogging a festival ticket for a profit on ebay is frankly rather ridiculous.

But do carry on with the lynching. Here, I'll have a go...

Bitch! Scum! Whore! Hope you die of AIDS!

How's that?

You twats.

[jameshunt]

Just my opinion.. no need to get personal
