I decided to poke-fun and CL-message the guy a link to this thread. I got an e-mail back only about 5 minutes later. Oops! He was pissed... :lol

His unedited responce: "Im going to fucking cut some motherfuckers throat u can suck my motherfucken dick get a life stop fucking with my shit"
Here is a thought, rather than create a situation where the Mods have to step in and shut down someone who is angry about what is being posted on the forum, you leave random people alone. We have already had to deal with one crazy guy who was threatening us and JM and went to the trouble of looking up JM's address so he could point out that he knew where he lived.

Totally agree with this. There are too many crazies out there just looking to go off on somebody. Somebody wants to poke a hornets nest, go ahead, on your own. Just leave the rest of us out of it please. Kinda like Vegas, what happens here, stays here. :smackface

Yeah, I don't go looking for trouble but it seems to find me. There are a lot of crazy nuts on drugs in Missouri and I know from personal experience! This is like the pill popping, meth, and heroin capital of the world.

I'm sorry guys, I wasn't aware of the situation with JM; I guess I haven't been here that long. I didn't consider that someone would be crazy enough to try to track someone down from the internet. At the time, it seemed like harmless fun. I should have taken the guy more seriously, but I shouldn't have linked that guy back to the forum in the first place.

Remember that there are frequently murders related to Craigslist transactions in the news. There are some real nutcases out there.

I run into all kinds dealing with the general public. Some are great and others are REALLY bad news. For pickups, I always do them in a public place like a gas station. Also, many towns now allow people to conduct craigslist transactions in police station parking lots.

Honestly I have found that the worst of the worst hang out on Facebook sale sites. These people are so dumb they are almost impossible to deal with. I am amazed they have the brain power to turn on a computer or smart phone, much less use it.

My experience with selling cars is as follows. I put these conditions on the ad.
1. Cash only - no trades.
2. No payments. The car and its title stay with me until it is paid for in full.
3. I will do layaway but will charge a weekly fee of $10 until this is paid for in full.

People must not read because they ask if I will finance the car, then someone asks if I will take some old 2WD pickup on trade. 2WD pickups seem to be worth about scrap around here when sold used. People seem to either want a 4WD or a car that gets good mileage. It is common to see someone with a big truck and then a Toyota Yaris, Nissan Versa, or similar car for driving to and from work.

It looks like many out there have commented on the CL spelling errors. Just lookup "craigslist spelling errors" online and you will see. http://oppositelock.kinja.com/this-is-the-most-spelling-mistakes-ive-seen-in-a-craig-464910458

yea not just about cars but also over games, people have gone full crazy in WoW tracked other players down. The internet is not really that anonyms and it is not that hard to search around and find out every thing you want to know. its not like crazy hacker stuff its just do some digging and clever searching. You can be found from your IP address as well.
