That's because they'd be at risk of a kicking - on here is deemed safe. Sad, as you say.

and warnings were hardly ever handed out and there was no need for the "Mod Warning Banner".

good looking banner though

yes...two of the reasons I hardly ever refer to the Exploroz forum any more and instead focus on this one are:

. the lack of intelligent, informed posts on the former...yes, I don't want to blow sunshine up your exhausts, but you guys are relatively intelligent and informed (and not just about LRs)...

. the large number of self-opinionated plonkers on Exploroz who are only too happy to start a fight over very minor things...let's avoid this happening on this forum!

Righto,yes as has been pointed out, anyone has a right to say what they want. Yes, I had the screamers over Wannalandys response because if he wants to get fired up, get fired up over the fact that some people, whether their right or not, jump into a thread, post something that has nothing to do with the thread...and 9/10 times it is negative. Get fired up over that as opposed to someone pointing out that rudeness. No, Im not the police, but I do enjoy reading peoples posts and it is bloody infuriating when people like to have a whinge for whinges sakes, and being a pig headed, stubborn, tell it like it is person...I will say so. Just as I have when I see sometimes it looks like people maybe bullying, I will say something.

To answer Xavie, their wasn't any negating, I actually found the response hilarious as what he was trying to berate me for, he was guilty of the same thing.

Forget its a forum and take it into "real life"...if I am having a chat with mates and someone wanders over and starts slamming the conversation we are having, I would give them both barrels. Yeah for sure, I can't tell them they have no right, but it is downright rude all the same. Its called etiquette, even in the recent posting on internet etiquette is on the whole stick with the theme. I guess seeing that was the straw that broke the camels back for me. In this case Clarky has posted something about his car going and 3 posts in....SLAM......had nothing whatsoever to do with the thread. Maybe I am alone in this thought,

Regards

If you were sitting around the campfire and the conversation turned to something that didn't interest you either because you knew about it already or you just plain didn't like it then would you abuse everyone? I hope not. I'd hope you would just sit patiently for your turn or move to another group.

As I asked before, why is it any different on the internet?

So it has!
Maybe Incisor has been watching.
I was doing so well, but had to take a break
