here we go again,
[TW]Fox said:Have you ever been on a forum where the rules permit only posts like 'Thats not to my taste'? It's dull and boring. Somebody posts a pink Corsa, 10 people say 'Thats nice' 5 people say 'Not to my tastes but I'm glad you like it' and the thread dies. How thrilling.
-- yes ive often seen you go further and generally slate corsa's or such
Is it not far better to explain WHY you dont like it, and suggest reasons which contribute to why you don't like it?
-- agreed but theres a difference to explaining and slating
I don't come on here to slate peoples cars either, I come on here to engage in discussion about all different types of cars with all different types of people with all different types of opinion.
--good then we're alike
Do you think he'd have come on here and explained to us exactly how he had gone about lowernig the car, why he made the choices he did and how it had all worked if this thread was 20 different people saying it 'Was not to my taste old boy'? Of course not. We got an amusing thread, a collection of opinions and a bit of fact from the owner. The only time it turned hostile was... oh yes, following a snide remark from yourself
-- makes it more interesting tho right ? that and i know im not the only one to be against some of the things you post, downright rude at times.
The very nature of something posted on the internet is that it is asking for opinions.
-- i agree
Becuase this forum LOVES bandwagons. Stuff becomes legend and new members just lap it up. The 306 DTurbo thing for example. A few people said if you adjust a screw its a bit quicker. Suddenly the entire form repeatedly takes the mick for several years about screwmodded 306's are rocket ships.
-- missed that thread![]()
What you said is simply false - I recommend/praise NUMEROUS different cars IRRESPECTIVE of badges and have even stated I would rather have an Audi RS4 over an E60 BMW M5, and that 1 Series are rubbish and you'd be better off with an A3 or a Focus. Well thats the words of somebody for whom if it isnt a BMW, its rubbish, isn't it? Oh, no, actually.
-- when you drove a mondeo you were constantly recommending mondeo's :/ i agree you do recommend decent cars (your knowledge surpasses mine im sure) but some of the time your downright rude.
Pot calling kettle black = people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones = your posting style isn't exactly Mr Mature.
-- and your immediate reply was?
