    $20 is peanuts and is only 10 quid. Refunding his money once he started whining would have saved you a lot of aggravation.

    Putting this into context once and for all, $20 to you may be 'peanuts' but to someone in India or another Country perhaps with less than we might have this 'peanut money' equates to more than a day's salary so it's on;y right we all understand it isn't so easy for all.

    As some posters said, it really is down to this individual, the circumstances surrounding it and so on...

    Didn't you read any of this post? :rolleyes:

    A UK - London - based company submitted to a UK-resident's directory, what's that got to do with 'someone in India or another country'?

    Furthermore, there's no need to make a racist claim referring to people from India in that manner - I know people from the UK that have no money and are living on the streets - possibly in my case out of their own faults in life - however, that is irrelevant, there's no need to single out a country as having little or no money.

    Think before posting.

    Try not to insult other members in here just because they do not have the same opinion as you do. Also...what JamieG said could be a solution too, mostly when you need that money so much. So just because you have another opinion,or another reputation power,or another post count, or whatever you want DO NOT INSULT others. We are all here to debate, not to make war.
    PS: I have doubts that you would refund the money in such a case ! :mad:

    You think before you post.

    Choice was hacked. He was closed and was awaiting re-approval from the admin. In the meantime he used another account called choiceebooks and was obviously banned for longer for dup accounts.

    VCTech is a good guy aswell as choice. Unfortunately he had other accounts that were banned in the past so it looks like this one was banned too. I'll try catch him on MSN.

    Damn, hacked, its a shame, i think a few others that ive seen banned in the past have possibly been for the same reason.

    You finished? :rolleyes:

    I think a lot before posting. It was a simple example, and a good one at that. My sister is married to a muslim and I associate with many Indians, so don't please don't even think of going the racist route with me, it was him who gave me that answer.

    You did yourself no favours coming out with such argumentative nonsense as my point was absolutely valid and understandable. Think before you pick a fight next time. :cool:

    Which sounds better "less fortunate" or "indian"?

    Oh, and which is also a bit more 'politically correct'?

    For a Scotsman you're very patronising, not sore because we kicked your butt in rugby are you? :D It would sound patronising if I'd posted the way you suggest, but guess you don't see it that way. Never mind, each to his own I say, and I won't raise to an argument so don't even try.

    Nah, I'm fine thanks. In fact, I'm just waiting on your 'world cup 1966' post:p Actually, when I think about it, I feel for your unprivileged country, you don't even have Spider-Man comics there. I'm hangin' from the rooftops of NYC every day :rolleyes:

    I think this man is right. he paid on your directory becouse of the link. Anyone know that when paying an place on a private directory other than yahoo that meen an directory with rank<7 , is cleary that you can change the description but you may keep his title(link). And i think his title is Ok. So...i don't understand why don't you give this man monay back? is only an subscrition!!!

    Thanks Hyper, I think he was just trying to pick a fight but it's not happening. My view is just as valid as any others as long as it's not made in such a way that is rude or just to increase my post count, and I didn't think mine was. Never mind, hopefully the OP has their question answered now.

    I spoke to choice on yahoo earlier his account was banned for being hacked and was told he probably would never get it back hence why he started a new account

    now he is banned perminantly which is stupid and wrong of DP. Not his fault he was hacked new accounts should be allowed under certain circumstances as this.

    Offtopic.

    Sorry to tell you but the hacked person is always the only one responsable for his account for several reasons.

    Yeah. The hacker got many people. Others like the ones still here were not that daft. I stay logged in to DP at all times, so when someone PMs a fake version of DP with the green theme (I use the blue) I know its a phishing scam.

    Phishing scams are not really hacking.

    Sidejacking is starting to become a big problem.
