Default Forum Cliques (or sheep)

I am a member of quite a few forums and don't like to get involved with cliques as i'm too opinionated to agree completely with others opinions but sometimes they really bug me.

Why are people so against having their own opinion and would rather than adopt the opinion of the masses?

FYI this is nothing to do with SN, i just seen an incrediblely ****e car on a local forum getting glorified VAG style even though its complete garbage.

I agree, try explaining the unsound reasoning behind oil change methods with the CPS disconnect clique.

And I dare not mention using Subaru's reccomended grade of 5w-30 oil to the tech-squad cliques.

@you!

I just hate the VAG scene, although its very hard to argue against as its just personal choice but I find being an individual by making their cars all look the same makes little sense to me.

How can you call a car with a rusty bonnet or wheels that don't fit properly EPIC? how can a car with has been lowered beyond use make sense? I just don't understand how putting alloys and lowering a jetta make it cool?

Its a great idea...until the clique/sheep cotton on and everyone starts parking their car with a blue balloon stuck to the roof, then your back to square one.

fair play some guys do get roasted on here for straying too far from the standard look, the poor fella the other day with the afterburners (with faulty led's) and cerise wheels for example, or the guy who filled his fog-lights in with expanding foam and filler.... If something looks ****e i usually just don't comment, as it can be genuinely upsetting for someone who has spend a load of their hard earned time and money to be told their pride and joy is an embarrassment.
