Get off your high horse, and please go somewhere else. Your posts are really getting to be ridiculously offensive at this point, and you have completely derailed this thread. I can assure you that you are not piling up good karma around here. Folks remember.
You seem to think your opinion matters to me lol.
Hill60 has proven many times to be ignorant of the basic facts regarding consumer law in Australia yet wants to push his opinion about sales of something in this country. Basically Hill60 has no credibility in this area.
I'm done with you now so off to the block list you go buddy!
... and that's why it is called a trademark and not a patent...
That is incorrect. There are trademarks, for sure, but, there are also Design Patents, which are separate and distinct from both trademarks and utility patents (for which we euphemistically call "inventions"). However, patents expire but trademarks do not. Coke's design for the bottle was protected by a design patent, which expired, so Coke as able to persuade the courts to give them a permanent trademark in the design, so they now own it forever.
Its thanks to our stupid legal system that the country is paralysed by fear of personal injury lawsuits, health & safety laws and the outlawing of free speech an why we no longer make anything in this country. Thanks to successive socialist governments the UK is now totally hostile to business, and in particular small startups making innovative things of the type which thrive in California. It makes me ashamed to be British.
California is just as big a socialist enclave. I should know... I live there.
Guys, don't waste your time with this idiot. Just put him on block instead. It works great and cleans up your browsing experience significantly.
Your absolutely right! Reading useful or just entertaining comments is now quicker and more enjoyable. I also noticed I can quickly scan threads for blocked posts and determine which threads are troll-infested. Thanks for the fix to our mutual problem!

Only drawback is when someone quotes him you still have to suffer through his BS. But it is an improvement.

Only problem is that you still see the blocked user when someone replies to them i.e. I have Eric blocked but I can see the post since you replied.
Unless you turn it into a meaningless footnote, to something educational and entertaining, like so:-

Besides, this entire thread is a troll magnet.
Define "copy" plssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
lol
Not quite sure what's going, but I get the feeling someone is being minimalized. I could read the other post to find out but...nah! This is nice!
P.S. - Thanks, it hadn't occurred to me that I could reply to a post without spreading the original post.
Embarassed to be British yet again. What a retarded country I was unfortunately born in.

Not by comparison this socialist shit hole. I spend much time in both places. My preference by far is California.
