That's pretty much what I think. If I spoke my mind and aired my disagreements at every given moment in the real world ie not on a forum then I'd have no friends and nobody would want to bother with me.
(no jokes)
Great outlook and nice double post too.

Without meeting you it's difficult to say whether people are being overly sensitive or if you really are as obnoxious as labelled. You could be perfectly fine or you may be massively irritating but if it is a issue that is consistently brought up then it's perhaps worth looking at yourself - to paraphrase the saying "the only constant in all your problems is you".
There's also ways to respond to people where you can correct them and be less offensive, well sometimes at least, other times a short sharp slap across the fizzog with the gauntlet of truth is just what is needed. Although quite often unless the belief I disagree with is obviously likely to cause a problem then I may be inclined to just let it lie, there's not always a benefit to being right when the other position isn't causing an issue - being right is nice and all that but you knowing you are right can be enough, everyone else doesn't have to know it and forcing everyone else to acknowledge it can simply be a form of vanity.
All women call a man a 'know it all' or 'you think you're always right' when they are constantly proven wrong time and time again...and because they are women, you can't argue your point because they just won't bloody listen!

sooner or later you are going to offend the kind of thin skinned knuckle dragging numpty with large friends, who nearly allways makes the headlines in the dailyfail.
before then you need to learn to count to ten & walk away, if that won't do it count to 50, but either way you need to learn that most important of all lifes skills, when to keep your piehole shut & say nothing.

this.
I can be a sod when I want too but I generally keep that for people who know me and fan accept that side of my personality.
Thanks to work and the amount of people I have to deal with I act with tolerance and tact even at times when I may not want too.
I know people like the OP, I generally class them as ********* and tend to avoid them.
Perhaps you're not a people person because you alienate people by being so 'real'.
That's **** tbh. A saying for people who are unable to say something negative constructively.
If you didn't care then you'd still be able to post in motors.

Sometimes you have to suffer fools, just to keep the peace. Start doing it, it will make your life easier.
I think you mean if i did care i would still be able to post in motors. Not really like im missing out much, the only big threads at the moment is everyone jumping on someone who sold a decent car to buy a newer rubbish one. Same old **** different day
