capt_chaos Report post Posted March 28, 2016 I hate to say this but I am actually somewhat glad that this thread had turned out the way it is. LA_Brit always seems to be angry and, let's just say, has an unique way with words. But it seems to be primarily done with humour and obviously he & Allan know each other well. Read enough of his posts and you know it's all done in good faith and jest. And after all, isn't this what L/P is about: a bunch of car enthusiasts sharing thoughts & ideas and, at times, with heated debates and poking fun at each other? Sure, things can get a bit overheated and personal at times (been there, done that myself) but at the end of the day, we all do share a common interest so no big deal really. No idea on what's happening lately but it seems a few are way too sensitive. Make a post on an opened forum that people can join at will and one basically sets oneself up as a target. It is the "www" after all so it's naive to assume that everyone would agree with one's view. Face it, some one would dislike Countach's too! When someone disagrees, no need to take it to the nth degree to defense oneself. One made a post, others responded, rightly or wrongly, it's done. No big at all. It's obvious that some responses were done in humour (regardless of good or bad ones) while some others have left a bad taste in the mouth in the most obvious way. While this is an open forum, its rules were set and are governed by a small group of people. If one shares their ideal, all good; if one does not, still good so long as one just lurks and/or one doesn't light fire here & there; but if one does not share the ideal and keeps kicking and screaming, then it's a matter of whether one chooses to walk out or to be ushered out. The door is opened most of the time and it swings both ways. If one wants to shut it, fine; if one acts like it deserves to be shut, then shut it shall be. Good post as always. We are grown ups here. I refer everyone offended to this. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrDoctor Report post Posted March 28, 2016 Well, I do agree with not being offended by someone else's opinion. Have thicker skin. I do not agree with being able to attack members by using vulgar language. Pretty sure that's not "first amendment protected" and also against the forum rules. Whether or not 612's lashing out had to do wit La_Brit's one post about his FF, or is due to his history of negative posts, that's a different story. I don't know. If you're all friends, and are going to communicate as friends, ok. If LA Brit is going to post in the manner that everyone knows him personally and will "lol" at every "cunt-tastic" post, ok. But, don't assume that everyone knows you and your intent. But, to a stranger who did nothing negative, just simply contributed to the forum regarding his passion? Not too sure why someone should get shytted on for that. Now that's being a cunt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not too sure why someone should get shytted on for that. Now that's being a cunt You have been here long enough to know what is a personal attack and what is not . You also pretty much know most of the members who post. I agree with your post above, especially if it concerns a newbie. However,Nuvolari has also been here for a while and has witnessed first hand that the forum is not made up of fan boys who go ooh and aah at every new purchase a member might have made. Some will like and some will not like . Why he chooses to be so sensitive is his business, i don't suppose it is going to change as it seems to be part of his personality . I have not seen any personal attacks as i would have put a stop to it , La brit is just fcuking around and means no harm . I wish Nuvolari would see that a post disagreeing with one of his opinions is not necessarily a personal attack but i cannot influence his reactions to adversity and if they are annoying it that much, it is pretty obvious this forum is not the place for him.

Not too sure why someone should get shytted on for that. Now that's being a cunt You know I can't resist swinging at slow pitches ... Which puzzles me why you threw the following statement at me: "I do not agree with being able to attack members by using vulgar language. Pretty sure that's not "first amendment protected" Let me see if I've got this straight ... In this midst of rolling some mighty big dice ... That is life and death ... In the face of that reality ... Do you really think the founding fathers would "waste time", on name calling ... Go ahead take a minute to catch your breath ... I'm sure that realization must be devastating ... While my earlier quote on free speech was from a movie, that does not change the fact that it's spot on ... So let me repeat it ... In the words of the "great" American President ... Andrew Shepard ... "You want free speech ... Let's see you acknowledge a man whose words make your blood boil, who's standing center stage, and advocating at the top of his lungs, that which you would spend a lifetime opposing, at the top of yours" Go ahead ... I'll give you TWO minutes to let it sink in ... This time ... You're Welcome ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brit appears to be an enigmatic fellow: everyone doesn't seem to like him very much but seems to enjoy his company and his ways of addressing people. You know how you have that one friend. You know, that special friend. The one you have to apologise to everyone else about. The thing about Mr Brit is his disabilities; Dwarfism and tourettes is a rare combo, but he has fought on and he has done well for himself even though the only modelling job he will ever get is either selling landmines or barbed wire. He also gets so angry so quickly, it is impossible for him to do something nice without him getting irritable, take for example a nice walk in the park, moments later he will be getting angry over nothing and will start shouting at the trees. On the flipside his wife is a gorgeous petite stunner. But above all, he is a good bloke. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
