Maybe a better warning would be "Don't say anything about companies unless you are willing and able to defend your statements in court".

The thing is Studio when people use screen names like you and me, it makes it hard work to sue the individual, so they go for Roy, it ends up very messy and can hurt the site

Which he's allowed to do (legally). If you agree to conditions before the journey, including just agreeing a price, then it's a contract: At the end of the journey, that's what you pay.
If there's no contract then at the end of the journey and they try to rip you off, just pay what you're used to paying plus 50p. The fact that you've tendered anything at all means that it becomes a civil matter and the police won't get involved unless it becomes a breach of the peace.

Haha maybe-but I did have a huge bag with me (from work) so I doubt I could have bolted as fast as I normally would have done lol.
If he had have agreed a reasonable price in the beginning, even if it was slightly more than normal I wouldn't have reacted badly-I just wanted to go home. But wanting an upfront amount that we both knew was too much was just rude.

Maybe a better idea would be too let admin run the site.

Its not hard to sue the individual but there is a legal process to go through to obtain the posters IP address from the forum owner. Then you have to get the details of who was using that IP address from the ISP.

How do you think those people are being sued on twitter for comments about that MP?

ya but it ain't straight forward and if members value the site they refrain from doing anything which could cause problems
