False advertising (for the aforementioned section), wishful thinking or infraction?

Worse behavior that an Electrolux vacum cleaners door to door salesman
I will change the bait

I for one think that it is a good idea. Yes, it may not last, but there again it might. As to the naysayers, well there was a thread the other day where a fellow got abused for saying he wanted to put a manual box into an auto Disco. Most people on this forum are very helpful and supportive. It is a great site in that respect. But this particular thread was pretty disgusting - it did get out of hand with the insults flying. The old adage - you you have nothing good to say - don't say anything. If you don't want to talk politics, good! You don't have to, but please do not tell others what to think. It's a lot easier to be politely quiet.


Tom.

Another great example of what makes this forum the most open one I've seen, I think its a sign of maturity that it is possible to have a section like that. Well done to all involved.

Tom, I cannot understand how people can get upset about technical issues like the one that you have just mentioned.
Even if someone say that the Toyota FJ40 it is more comfortable than a Range Rover Classic it should not cause abuse by others.(then again )
IMHO the problem is when we discuss international politics and affairs, that can get a bit hot.
Some members do not comprehend that many of us have lived different experiences and them have formed a view that it is very hard to understand by those that only have lived in this peaceful country or never experienced civilian unrest, torture or even death of love ones.
As long as we can debate in a sensitive form there will be no offense to others.

Hi Tom, occasionally there is a thread that slips through that no Mod manages to pick on. However I would ask everyone to report anything out of hand as soon as they see it.
It's not a case of dobbing in either, it's really about making sure the forum that we are all members of stays an enjoyable and friendly place to visit. If things are allowed to get out oh hand and blues become common place then good people will walk away and that is not good for anyone of us, because I reckon if you own a Land Rover then you have a vested interest in seeing this valuable asset for all Land Rover owners isn't undermined.
