[the alarming man]

what it seems to me is this is a case of pot and kettle

Seems like we're on a loser then 

well if you think the problem with the board is as you say in your and mr gixers previous threads.....then yes you are onto a loser

[ted_one]

This section is a bit like a TV programme if you don't like the subject matter then choose something else,and let's face it topics change frequently ....so If there's a rant going on the choice is yours,or perhaps we should censor the subjects so we can ALL be happy campers,or I know,let's all convert to Islam

Poor old Terbs seems to have kicked off abit of outrage here!!   

So here's my two penneth. It's all very bad,abominable, atrocious, barbaric, beastly, brazen, contemptible, contumelious, corrupt, criminal, debasing, debauching, degenerate, depraving, disgraceful, disgracing, egregious, flagitious, flagrant, gross, heinous, horrendous, horrible, ignoble, infamous, inhuman, iniquitous, malevolent, monstrous, nefarious, notorious, odious, opprobrious, scandalous, scurrilous, shameless, shaming, shocking, sinful, unbearable, ungodly, unspeakable, villainous, violent, wanton, and wicked!!!!  Bah! Bah! Bah!

Terbs, seriously mate, this is exactly the sort of stuff that drags OOF down. As TB said in another thread. Iirc?

It's not actually politics, or wind farms, or the eu, or any of that quite legitimate stuff.


What it is, it seems to me, is an ever increasing core of people posting with the sole and express intent of ... Kicking off... Moaning ... Posting as many angry smileys as possible ... Dragging the place down... I guess the above all come under negativity...?

Obviously we all have a bad day/week or whatever. But I wonder if we should question how much "negativity" we put in? Maybe more balanced input is needed?


As said so often on here, what happened to the old OOF...? It's taken me my entire membership here to work it out but it's this sort of stuff that has contributed to the old core membership dwindle to almost nothing.

Where are they? Yes people come and go, move on, times change etc etc. but it seems to me the single definable reason is berried in this type of mentality.

Times are hard, we are all breaked, the worst of winter and darkness lay ahead etc etc...
Nobody wants to come on here and a load of bitch and moan.

Trouble is, to approach the problem(if you agree it's a problem as such ) is to join in. As all I'm doing now is moaning about moaning! which is in it self a negative input.

So rather than join in, people don't bother and clear off. No?


Come on guys, seriously ...

I have ignored this thread due to it's heading and my fear I would drag myself into comments that I want to avoid now on this, a car forum thread, that I personally have  been "forceful" on in the past.

But having now read the comments, you Chris and TB are absolutely correct on how you view the overall trend of "hateful comment" on the OOF.

Since returning I have noted three points a) so many names appear to be not posting now; b) the Forum is very quiet compared to how it used to be, and c) there is a lack of moderation on subjects to do with religion, politics, and people's beliefs in general with real hatred being expressed agains't whole groups of people.

Come on, we all I am sure believe in free speech, but let's moderate the comments / observation.  Not everyone agrees with your, or my, point of view and there are many who read the OOF in other countries who are going to be deeply offended by some comments; as I said before this is a car forum site and does / should not represent any political group i.e. BNP, BDL, UKIP, Conservatives, Liberals, Labour, or even Lord Such Raving Lunitic Party!

Poor old Terbs seems to have kicked off abit of outrage here!!   

No... Well, yes, but it's good that he has. I know Terbert to an extent, he is very helpfull, generous, and enthusiastic about the forum and it's use. He organised one of the best meets I have been to at Wycombe at the social club there.

He and his lovely wife put on a spread, opened up the bar, we had a BarbieQ, we had car repairs, whe had car detailing, we had chatting for hours and a good time was had by all. ...we also had pissing rain. It mattered not one bit. ...oh, and a pool competition, until somebody broke the table.

I wonder if he'd organise another for us all. ...? He can bar me if he wants?



Maybe it's a prime case? The negativity spreads, like a poison. I think most of us have been there to varying degrees....? As said, we all know I have. Etc.

It's interesting to see what influences opinions. It's also interesting to see what carachters influence mentality. Trends... ways of talking, typing, communicating.



I am convinced the subject is immaterial. But the mentality is vital. We can talk about the same subject, with the exact same facts available, and come up with very different responses. The obvious one is the half pint of water in a pint glass.

Getting desperately close to TB's w@nk word bingo now.


There no changing what's done.

Question is how we go from here.


What really made this obvious was the Olympics btw. This was a very different place while the Olympics where on. And instantly reverted back once they finished.

[STMO123]

I know where I'd like you to go from here.
