There are a lot of reasons the TC and 12th guys don't come on here. Here's one that encapsulates the many...

Seriously though. There are bigger problems than mild or more than mild swearing that are priorities sometimes. I deleted someones comments (not their post, just the offensive bit) in this very thread earlier today - perhaps I should have PM'd them and asked them to post with respect and inteligence but I hope for the most part people use their head and think or will try to in future.
No matter what someone at another forum has done or said, you can express yourself better without resorting to calling them harsh names - it sorta breaks down the power of what you were trying to say if you can't say it with at least a small degree of respect.
I don't have time or energy to read other R/C forums much these days but I know I used to spend many hours on Racechat and whilst I didn't personally agree with some of the choices made over there I still respect it for all the information and knowlege it's given me and other racers in the past. |
Why can't most people take a more considered view...

Why doesn't he tackle the rule breachs from the other angle "Don't post your links here, but if you wish to host your information/pictures/details here directly then be my guest". Turn it into a positive.
Ive said this on the thread, im not going to push his buttons and fish for a ban. I don't want to make myself look bad. I just don't like his approach, so made the constructive critism, now I'll leave racecrap alone.

...or make a considered argument that allows people to live and let live?

I for one do not like Rob he is agrogant and the Racechat forum is a dictatorship but what is going on now is nothing short of Bullying and it needs to end now Guys
Im all for having a laugh but people still need to be treated with dignity and respect even if they dont deserve it

You lot often come across as equally arrogant, but you seem to add rude and ignorant to that too, on too many occasions. Some things do seem to defy logic, and some people are not good at dealing with others. There is never an excuse for being rude to people, or ignorant in one's behaviour, just because you don't get what you want, or others don't agree with you.
I realise this won't make the slightest difference to most of you, and I regret that I shan't live long enough to see you change with age and experience. But you will! I am a child of the 1960s. We were no less bold in our opinions, or our desire to change the World. But we weren't rude, we weren't ignorant of others, and we were taught to give others respect, whoever they were. We are, however, more mellow and grumpy - because we didn't change the World!!
You want more people on this forum; I'd like to use this forum more. For that to happen there needs to be change and there needs to be compromise. In the same way you criticise Rob for not having those traits, do you have them? The evidence of this thread is you don't. Things, therefore, are not likely to change!
Let the flaming begin!
