    Land Rovers only

    I’ve given up posting anything cultural, progressive, diverse, inspiring, journey-based, outside the field of Land Rover specifics on this forum. Whenever I do, I get shut down by bigotry.

    It’s boring and offensive. And something I recommend AULRO reviews as a matter of urgency.

    It’s pure Land Rovers only for me from now on.

    Cheers all.

    That's a bit disappointing, Zeros. I haven't agreed with some of your opinions but, they're your opinions, as mine are mine and you're entitled to them.(Yours, I mean)
    As stated, this is a Land Rover forum, after all, and things shouldn't be taken too personally or get too personal, for that matter. Go to Faecesbook for that!

    Well theres LandRovers and theres Pure LandRovers , IMO the real LandRovers all have a PCD of 5x165 , anything else is LandRover by name only .

    Obviously as time goes on lots more people will disagree . Thats human nature too and we are still purely talking LandRover.

    All is good , nothing like a good pot stir.

    Cheers guys, but it’s not only the aggressive responses I object to. I’ve also recently had reasonable posts removed with no explanation or deleted because they disagree with the status quo or received a complaint from someone.

    There are many highly offensive posts that get through because of no complaint. I’ll just take my responses to these straight to mods from now on as I can no longer be bothered raising anything for discussion outside certain narrow neo-colonial or bigoted world views.

    The biggest issue is defensive wilful ignorance around whose Land we all Rove across everyday.

    They were removed because they breached the rules - you were told about them - please don't play the victim on this. It happens to everyone who posts stuff not within the rules - even me and other Mods if we step over the line, please no conspiracy theories on this.

    Your last line show you don't quite get how the rules work - that topic becomes political instantly which is NOT ALLOWED here. If you want to talk about that, you can in CA or on other forums, not in any general areas here - if you mention is again, it probably won't go down too well.
    If you need to contact me please email homestarrunnerau@gmail.com - thanks - Gav.

    Have to disagree with you Homestar. Cultural diversity is not political, it’s cultural. It’s only made political by ignorance.

    I’m not ‘playing victim’. I’m expressing my frustration at what I see as double standards.

    Cultural discussion is arguably no more or less political than climate change for example.

    While I agree with you in principle there, a thread or post made about that topic will always turn political here - for whatever reason.

    Its the ‘for Whatever reason’ that’s the problem. Avoiding the issue - bigotry - doesn’t resolve it. It just keeps onsweeping it under the carpet.
