Sucks to live in your reality Steve but I would suggest that anyone including yourself who has money to drop on Moths, Kites, and Foils is already in the 99 percentile with regards to social hierarchy compared to the rest of the worlds population.

You have no clue what a supply chain audit is, and throwing quotes from books around does not make you or anyone else a better person. Its ok to be oblivious.

Personally, its somewhat humorous to me... Your whining about how you are trying to protect other purchasers, poor global labor practices, and the environment vs your internal struggle to "stick it" to someone who you perceive (your words) to have screwed you over based on their perception of your social hierarchy.

Given 50 pages of the latter, I know exactly where your priorities are. I know I'm not using renewable energy sources replying to your emails so keep writing/creating your useless threads as its just adding carbon to the atmosphere.

But you ordered and paid for stuff from them, then said you would fly to China and pick it up. Now you've decided that they don't meet some supplier standard that you adhere to? Odd way to go about it.

good point,,,,, I was reliably told from someone very much "in the know" that a single google search utilises the same energy to boil a kettle TWICE :o (as the searches use approx x10 server farms simultaneously). :-? :-? :-?


aaaaarrrrgggghhhhhh...... I contributed to another tangent :roll: :roll:

But I didn't know about the way they do business when I ordered/paid. I just handed over my money like all the others thinking I would be getting a quality product. I only found that out later when I started posting here and I was contacted by their suppliers telling me about the terrible way they carry on and others who had been threatened for daring to question their BS. And I was in Asia on business anyway hence why I was happy to collect and save some shipping/duty.

Oh and BTW (and sorry for the tangent) I am currently in the process of extracting all the CO2 ever burned in my name from the atmosphere and turning it back in to coal putting it back where it belongs deep underground. That includes air travel to work on large renewable energy projects advising companies like Google how to build data centres that don't need the energy of 2 kettles to send an e mail as its perfectly possible to have a renewable energy data centre. And you can google my technical papers on data centres if there is no wind, the lawn is mowed, you have nothing better to do and you need something to help you get to sleep.

I've found that you can significantly increase the accuracy of the above statement by replacing the words 'social hierarchy' with the word 'cuntiness'!

I can see I have met my match here and my best strategy is obviously to avoid debate with this expert as I clearly can’t complete in an open forum with someone with such a fearsome intellect who……….with all his years of debating experience………..his brain in a heightened state of awareness………his cerebral cortex efficiently processing large amounts of complex information………with the crowd waiting in eager anticipation for his next riposte…………..comes out with (and wait for this because this is VERY VERY GOOD) delivers his final knockout blow from which there can be no return with..........................

YOU ARE A CUNT!!!!

Hurrah for the Troll!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
