Nice shiner. Seems to plenty other stuff for sale.
-
Hmmm... Billie is usually the female spelling, and is that a woman or a kid in the pic?
I'm wondering if the seller is male or female (or gay, I guess).
Hoax or not, its a bit disturbing to know that they're a VMX person.
-
I'm guessing that's a woman in the photo and that it's her partner who's allegedly bashed her and it's more than likely all his bike stuff. In fact, when you look at their website, the guy who owns all the stuff is a John...

Very strange... I think there's a story behind this one!
-
my first impression was ‘thats a woman’
-
If the reasons for the sale are true, this is a very sad situation and Billie's doing the right thing in getting hell out of there.
This seems to be a cry for help from a very bitter and obviously hurt woman. The fact that somebody from within the VMX community could do that damage to another human let alone a woman is extremely disturbing.
If this is a hoax or a marketing gimick it's extremely sick and needs to be reported to eBay. If Billies alegations are true, I hope the law sorts this creep out as soon as possible.
-
Might actually be some truth to it. I have spoken to the fellow about some VMX stuff and they did indeed move to Vic from Townsville.

I believe it is a child ,due to no excess facel hair and she is hitting the kids.
That's how I read it.
All for the world to see which does not help the cause and affect.
Hope it has a positive ending.
-
It's a woman saying her partner is a woman basher. Billie is a girls name. Do you really think a guy would put a pic in and say he and the kids were bashed by a woman??
Bike seems cheap enough but who wants to get caught up in the middle of that shit!

Yep could be-takes all kinds in this world and domestic violence is a two way street.
cheers
-
but how mad is the bloke gonna get when he finds out shes selling all his bikes on ebay :o or is that all her stuff ???
i only found this seller and their website the otherday and thought this looks good, i have never seen this site before and they had some stuff i was interested in and i was going to actually make an enquiry.
i have no doubt someone on this forum knows who they are.
-
That is the strangest justification/rationale for selling I've heard.
I would proceed with great caution from the possibility of scam to picking up stuff and walking in and being 'the meat in the sandwich' of a highly charged emotional domestic scene.
And from the description I can't work out who is hitting who (not that I'm particularly interested - this degree of bashing is sad and disturbing from any point of view). But it's strange to 'hang your dirty washing out' in such a public display. This is a highly charged emotional scene.

Quote from seller....
"MOVING BACK TO TOWNSVILLE DUE TO ABUSIVE WOMAN BASHING PARTNER"
Not hard to work out that a woman with kids allegedly has a woman bashing partner.
No wonder some of you guys have so much trouble understanding the rulebook ???
Seems logical that she may need the funds quick to get back north qiuckly.
But yeah, I wouldn't want to be in the middle of it all while doing a deal.
Sad state of affairs, much the same as the 7 year old shot dead while riding with his dad in the USA
-
Very sad. Like GMC, For the life of me can't see how anybody would think this is a guy trying to escape his crazy wife. I know it happens but it's pretty obvious whats written and the photo definitly shows a woman. I have a sister who was continually beaten by her husband until she'd eventually had enough and did a midnight runner and took out an AVO on him. 10 years later and in a new relationship with a good bloke, it was the wisest thing she ever did. There's no excuse for hitting a woman.
-
It could be read it with a is,comer or full stop.
Ok I'll sign up for English lessons or maybe they should. ;) ;D
ABUSIVE WOMAN IS BASHING PARTNER
ABUSIVE WOMAN ,BASHING PARTNER
ABUSIVE WOMAN.BASHING PARTNER.
Aussie language no good
cheers

Further, we're all making assumptions that the woman is the partner.
Other possibilities include:
His female partner has bashed another woman in his life (friend, girl-friend, teen/adult child).
Her female partner has bashed her.
His or her partner (who could be male or female) has been bashed by another woman.
Etc. While some are more likely than others, they're all equally possible within what's written.
Just like the rule book (or the bible!) - its only black and white if you are looking for a scenario that you've already decided upon.
-
yeah its bloody confusing isnt it, you cant really assume nothing can you.
-
What the...?
I'm with GMC. Glad I'm not writing the rules...
-
Its really easy to make it clear.
Change "MOVING BACK TO TOWNSVILLE DUE TO ABUSIVE WOMAN BASHING PARTNER"
into something like
"I am Moving back to Townsville because my partner is an abusive woman basher".
Same words (pretty much), but a lot clearer and a lot less open to interpretation.
Alison's simple addition of punctuation is very nearly as effective, and clearly shows how subtle changes can make a big difference to the message.
And thank you all for lowering me to a level where I'm analysing (and critisising) the words of someone who almost certainly deserves our sympathy and support... :-\
Maybe I should start giving Magoo lessons on "How to make a good point without sounding so negative and p155ing Dennis off"... ;)
