You know who you are.

Not usually one too worry about it to much, but I'm getting sick of bloody keyboard worriors just sticking their 2 pence in where its not wanted or needed.

Did your mothers not tell you if you can say anything nice dont say it at all (same goes for net I would presume.) And you lot can't understand why people slag you lot off all the time? I mean, I can take a joke, but tbh I have my limits

It really does spoil this site sometimes

Get a life, and unless you have something constructive to say dont bother.

Peace

Thats exactly what I am on about.

I notice it in a lot of threads. And usually when its friend-friend its ok, but when its just some totally random person who persistanly seems to attack either one or many people in just about every thread do they not understand that its rather irratating

And its not something restricted to me either, and this is one of the reasons I'm posting about it. Even at meets all I hear is "that twat posted this" and "that cunt posted that"

PS my latest plan was to find out if I could use an RS2000 4x4 transfer box to 4wd the XR2 just aint posted it

stu the 4x4 box can be addapted BUT its a bitch do sort unless your handy making things yourself then its just measuring ect and will be sorted

it can be done though,,,,,,,,, just depends how long you wanna take doing it and whats the gains with it

i thought about that with my cabrio ages ago then thought,,,,,,,,,,,, why not just get a rwd car as thats the best option ( then i went out in a skyline and relised i was a idiot )

then in all honesty they should stop as it then brings a "he said it so i will as im joking too" issue to it

also people will read who dont know and think the place can be unfriendly


as it is a hard thing to monitor peoples moods when you meet em at times


doing it from letters is crazy <-------- like does that mean im crying or im crying

Its going to have to calm down mate as teh place is beginning to look unfriendly. Notice how we are getting less newbie posts slowly but surely, and given our world ranking that simply shouldnt be.

The problem of course is that the newcomers dont KNOW your mates, they just think your twats.

guess they dont need to meet radders to know hes a twat


maybe a disclaimer to be posted after making a joke would be a idea,,,,,,,,,, as the hassle to post that people would rather not male the joke


and may i sugest you ask gracie to calm down a little on people as hes had personal digs at me when i posted a reply another member made that he never liked


not to mention be a knob to a new guy for posting in capital letters who was new to the site and just asking for help to contact a guy he knows

now thats NOT a personal dig at gracie as hes sound generally,,,,,,,, but at times he goes off one one and makes andy look laid back

seriously thats ment to be a constuctive comment as i never found the comment fair and would not have laughing it off if it was said to me in the pub as it wasnt a funny comment but a personal dig

im sorry but "common sence" aint a good way to discribe it all the time

i ALWAYS get in trouble at work for swearing all the time and constantly calling people cunts or just adding it in a sentance,,,,,,, now everyone knows that when i say " dont be a cvnt all your life" im using it as expression BUT its still wrong and i have to curb it,,,,,,,, comon sence or not people MAY find it offensive and so i have to stop


thats why they make rules,,,,,,,,, they are a good thing but they spoil the fun,,,,,,,,,,,but it makes it better for all i belive ( cant belive i just posted that )



oh and for some reason i NEVER swear infront of my little girl and use dodgy words like "toilet" instead of crap/shit and "muppet" instead of cvnt........., cant explain why as its not on purpose

stu i never told anyone as i dont belive in moaning about things

just as this was on topic i thought i would mention it in a contructive way for future use

ive had much worse comments made by other members and ive never felt the need to tell the mods about that as what people think of me dont actually bother me,,,,,,,,, but some people do take offence and so thought it might be worth mentioning for the time

it was NOT ment as a dig at gracie at all,,,,,, he dont like me then im more than fine with it


just feel that he may be getting a little too and so mentioned it

sorry if you take offence or feel i shouldnt of mentioned it on here and would have had a PM about it but im sure you have more important things to do like,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, work and have a life than read my PM's moaning about andy blocking me on msn and pops not sharing his last rolo with me


just that i use the site as a pass time as now i have a kid i spend alot of time at home,,,,,,,,, i understand that my ways of life aint the same as others,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, but i wont loose any sleep over it if they dont like me for it


hope you understand what i ment

my 16pence no other forum car or other, has the amount of banter allowed, with out the deleting, moderating, baning etc etc of people / posts, but it stays with in limits (most of the time) somehow?

But out of all the different forums i visit, including bottletopcollecters.com its simply just spot on
