So your company paid for these people to give you direction?

Who's the more foolish, the fool or the fool who follows him?

I have a cracking idea for a new humorous thread, but I think it may put a certain poster over the edge so maybe best to hang back in case he has a complete sense of humour bypass

That was just a rehersal last night for him

I heard Armageddon will happen tonight as all the chocolate Engines will melt on the witching hour
Only the wrx will remain
The STi will loose 100 BHP
And stickers and roof vent will be the hottest mod

If Armageddon struck and the rapture left only WRX owners behind I can assure you a second Armageddon would follow very quickly.

Not sure the almighty could cope with that concentration of shïte in his domain.

Well I haven't as such, not since this has been running anyway.

However, the other day, I did step in as asked on a thread that was getting bitchy. On that thread I politely stated perhaps certain members should ignore one another if they didn't like each other (that's the short version).

That was what one member definitely seemed to want and it seemed to suit both, then this thread progresses......

I've said time and again, if people don't take to one another, then stay out of each other's way as best as possible. I've also asked for this thread not to turn into exactly what it has.

A bit banter is all well and good, and if LWC takes it as that, then fair enough, but if this is just a 'let's all gang up on this bloke we don't like' then I suggest now that the problem has been put into the open, it is left to die a death.

I'm not trying to be a party pooper, but there is a fine line between banter and insulting.

I also think what people need to bear in mind, is that for all of you that have a problem with this bloke/his posting manner, there are plenty that probably feel the same about you. I am not going to ban people because they are unpopular with some other members (that goes for everyone that statement could apply to). Characters make forums, and not all of them are destined to get along, which is fine, but I don't like to see things get out of hand.

As well plenty people know on here, I like a laugh, but just don't go too far at the expense of another member, just because you're not keen on them.

Thank you all kindly.

Did I say I wouldn't ban people just because they were unpopular with some? That's ok as I didn't say because they were unpopular with me.

Oi !!!

Not one single post in this thread has been deleted.

The thread don't make sense because most of its contents was created past the watershed of sobriety Unless you're knocking Lisa for her input, in which you're gonna get a reaming for implying it

Also Shell vpower and Tesco Momentum becomes 90Ron

The only way to avoid it is to do that special dance outlined by ps Lewis whilst changing your engine oil. (i forget, but its something like : hopscotch with the MAF disconnected, moonwalk whilst dry cranking, and disco when the CPS is plugged back in )

Got to agree with the op in this, I've not been a member long but have recently stop going on here much due to the aggressive drivel and unhelpful comments . Don't get me wrong a bit of banter is good but it just goes too far sometimes, no wonder most newbies don't stay around for long! I have posted before and then waited for the slagging off....not good
