Perhaps because you didn't bother to read the link? You feel free to post
anyway you like, but it seems counter productive to make your posts
incoherent. At best, you will be ignored and probably appear in many
killfiles. Hardly seems worth posting if you don't want relevant responses?

If you don't like what I have to say, or the way I say it - that's up to
you, and is no problem to me.

Are you this selfish in other fields too?

I'm not quite sure why this particular email indicates a scam, as opposed to
any other email enquiry?

They are usually easier to spot, since they are usually generated
automatically from the title of posts:

Dear sir,

I am interested to buy your "Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5
speed" for a client, please can you tell me the price for your
"Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5 speed" and my client wants to
but your "Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5 speed". Please
write to me about your "Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5 speed"
and maximum price for your "Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5
speed" and I will buy your "Reliant Scimitar SS1 1600 XR3 engine, 5
speed".

And so on :-)

They will then pay the £5000 asking price, but send you a cheque for
£7000 asking to pay "someone they owe money to". of course, the
cheque is a fake and bounces back at a later date leaving you £2000
out of pocket.
