P*ssing matches / Arguments
I know it's been a long winter but is it just me that thinks that there is a bit too much bickering going on here at the moment. I appreciate
that it is largely confined to a few threads but, now we have the bottom half of the page showing updated threads, it is becoming more apparent.
I understand that people will have differing points of view and I'm all for a bit of banter but I'm finding certain things more than a
little tedious now. We might have different opinions but we have a common interest so can't we just all try a little harder at times please?
Thanks

I think any long running threads of an argumentative nature should be merged together - then we can find out things like whether inherent design flaws
in the rear suspension on your MK Indy is a good excuse for knocking somone off their bike!

Sadly it comes with the turf. Be it genuine discussions that break down to arguments, or blatant slaggin matches. Its very easy to hide behind a
keyboard and say things that you may hold back from or say in a less brash fashion when in person.
After 7 years of heavy forum use, ive learnt to live with it. Laugh when its funny, ignore when its not, but always say what you feel but try to keep
to the truth and make sure you use the IMO, IIRC as get out clauses where you can!

Just one big melting pot thread. When a thread gets too argumentative, all posts get merged into the uberargument thread. It never gets listed on
the front page and it makes it easier to for contributors to cross reference their difference of opinions

I thought this forum had become less of slanging match these days, if something needs saying it's best said though so here goes.

it's a pity more of the UK folk don't complain more! I mean in terms of trying to get more meaningful things back into the hands of the
population and not in government, beurocrats, big business etc!
Fuel prices, all these cuts (why have to be so sharp and sudden) VAT rise, food price rises etc
Just tip of the iceberg here but attempting (badly ) to make a point.
I feel that people don't want face to face or to write letters, petitions etc but rather vent on forums where they feel they can let out their
own frustrations.
Obviously some of these have been useful for us to see read and hear about but i agree with R Q above
All IMHO
Time for a change!

It's just Winter. I've been on here since 2006 and every Winter there's slanging matches. Not as much since Calvin and Syd
disappeared but I don't suppose that is a bad thing
It'll be back to business come the Summer months.

Where did you get that avatar Mook? She looks just like my niece
Someone once called me a tw@t on here because I said you can't tig weld with co2 gas but I think it's very few and far between when you
see personal comments or name calling.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Well, some of those responses have cheered me up and restored my faith (and you're right, what do I know! Hang on, that's no fun backing
down on a forum. I'm right and you are all wrong! )

Lol this stuff is just normal forum banter. You get it on all the forums, try asking which is the best jetting for a rotax max engine on the karting
forums. "can of worms big time"

don't write OT on a new thread title, you're creating the topic, everything you write is very much ON topic!

Best way I know of dealing with threads I don't like is...
ignoring them.
Hope that helps.
As some day it may happen that a victim must be found,
I've got a little list-- I've got a little list
Of society offenders who might well be underground,
And who never would be missed-- who never would be missed!
