After posting something very stupid on here last night I spoke to wifey not doggy he cant speak and in some ways i agree about H21 post ref people only posting in gendis after all I am one of them really, what i know about cars you could write on a postage stamp. The only thing i do have is a miggy but due to time and forever working on my house i use the good services if Daz anyway.
the only other talent besides being an idiot most of the time is the 30 more years i have within shopfitting interior refurb and latley building but then again when a post comes up for help you get swamped buy the diyers that know it all about cars so they think they know it all about building.
whats left act the fool and try and get a laugh in doing so more often than not i end up showing off and taking things to far.
When i first joined OOF it was like going down the pub with your mates, you could settle down in front of the PC with a beer or two and just endlessly laugh, of course there was the odd ruffling of feathers or the more dignified amongst us would tell the children of, but thats all it was.
Now reading through various posts its not hard to upset the apple cart, Nothing to do with Seth total respect to the man he stood up and told me what he thought and quite right too, i was totally out of line.
These so called problems with OOF in my opinion do not exsist obviously i am not privi to what admin must see and be reported on a daily basis but OOF is still a great place. But not so many characters that make it bounce post now .Bedside the continue change and increase in members must have an effect. Compare it to a school like a turn round in pupils. As mr Entwood said quite some time ago as Omegas are becoming cheaper they are more accecable to the masses or similar, he got some stick for it but i knew what he meant and i am stupid, more omega owners perhaps younger different age range etc
an incident did nearly divide OOF i think I for one although supporting ones side was totally disgusted far beyond any silly prank at how vindictive some people were and i do think since then some have stayed away well obviously 1 person did.
it does not matter what you do someone wont like it I seriously hope the plug is not pulled one day after all the hard work dedication and effort certain members and admin have put into all this but the family has grown and some of the kids have left home, things always change in a family.
I am not leaving just feel i have embarrassed myself and need to take a step back beside in all honesty i have far to much work i have to catch up with at home and i did once have a very serious management job which i am now trying to get back belive it or not.
perhaps the H21 post is a wake up call for people to start looking at what they are posting after all it is the admins that invaribly have to deal with it all, just imagine that for one minute.
still going to kent meet and hopefully newent to see all your happy wrinkly faces, wifeys with me there so i have to behave or punishment can be swift
read the signs and take a look sometime at what you write and see how you come accross you may suprise yourself and get admins point or fellow members point.
so sincere apologies to those i may have offended..lessons learnt

I'm known for posting crap and talking shite......just ask Albs and Nickbat. :y
Why should you be any different? ;D
-
Sorry Paul but your taking 'dangle berries' here mate.
The problem is that too many people bitch and blub to admin when there feelings are hurt or they don't get there own way.
Some folks need to get out in the real world and MAN UP ;)
All IN MY OPINION of course :-*

I wish you weren't "banning yourself" as you will be missed! :( :( :(
Most of us can only post in the help sections when we feel that our contribution is worthwhile, or in the case of me as a woman, when I believe I will not get shot down by the men for suggesting something that to them seems stupid! ::) ::) ::) ::)
I have left on two occasions, and almost did so again repeatedly, but you have to accept it is a club of a whole mixture of people with a cosmopolitan, or not, view of life.
The admins will make their decision on what content will be allowed away from the democratic format we have now, which is of course their right. We all can still enjoy the OOF for it's greatness and content no matter what, as I believe you could if you so wish :D :D ;) ;)
We can all be idiots on here, so stay with us the idiot club!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D :y :y

Don't go Paul :'(
Go on then...bog off. ;D

Just stop monkeying around and all will be fine. :y ;D ;D
If it was the video perhaps the only mistake was not putting it in the jokes section, and let's face it not everyone has the same sense of humour ???

If you feel the need to give yourself a breather from Oof then obviously give yourself one (Ohh matron!) but there is no need from what I have read.
To all in general and not the OP in particular, perhaps just take a second breath and reread what you have typed before hitting the post button? Especially if you have had a couple of sweet sherries before setting yourself down at the keyboard? I know I have fallen victim to this once or twice over the years... It's the stuff that keyboard warriors are made of, isn't it? ;) ;D
Slainge. :y

I agree with that, H21, but it also works both ways, in that posts should be read properly before replying.
The English language is very complex, with more than enough punctuations. Not everybody can get to grips with this. People with dyslexia (hope I spelt that right) have to be able to post without ridicule, etc. Very often, a missing comma, a full stop, etc, can make a sentence read totally the opposite to what it is meant to say. For a while now, it seems the norm in schools, to accept a word spelt as it sounds, rather than how it should be spelt. We have to accept this nowadays.
How many times have you seen answers to a post, for example in Gen Help, querying manual or auto, simply because the OP has not been read correctly.
So as I said, we must read, and think :y
Sorry to sound like a school teacher.....just an opinion :y ;)
