I AM DAM GOING DCI GENE HUNT (HUNT DON'T YOU MEAN....) LOL
THIS WEEK END IS MY LAST ON SN,NOT EVEN FC.
ALI/MOD CAN YOU PLEASE DELETE MY ACCOUNT ON MONDAY MORNING PLEASE?
TAR !

We will miss you..............not, clearly you are a big girl and unable to hold your ground in FC or banter with grown ups :D

Take it easy ;)

A forum is a community, and like all communities you get out of it what you put into it. Like all communities there are people in the know and wannabes, the wannabes are constantly trying to climb the ladder to get to the the top, but once you have lived in a community for a while, you soon realise who to listen to, and who to take with a pinch of salt.

From time to time people move on and are replaced by new members, some of who will ask questions, some of who will use the search engine to limit the number of questions they ask, and take part in discussion. Some will post facts, some will use opinions as fact, but you soon learn who to listen to.

Some treat new members like welcome guests, others treat them as outsiders who should be shunned and ridiculed. In the last 2 months I have seen much of this in jimmy's threads, help and ridicule in equal amounts, but you have to ask, does it matter if some anonymous individual hiding behind a pseudonym ridicules you?

I learned many years ago that your thread start count should be smaller than your search usage, people who have looked out some answers will get a lot more respect from the other members, however, once they have read up, they should not then consider themselves experts in the field, and many do go that way, bookworm syndrome I call it.

I am only on my second scooby after 6 years, but from being a member here I know which way I want to take my cars, and spend more time searching and reading up posts from experts like Ian Godney, Duncan, JGM etc etc.

It would seem Jimmy has the the forum almost conversationally, at every stage he has sought to understand, and as a result found out about some bad choices and made some good choices as a result. Looks like every trade he has made has been done for a good reason, and with some thought process, but whatever, why if he is happy with his decisions do people feel the need to belittle him? To feel better about themselves? He and a few others were ripped off by another forum member recently, we should be supporting members like Jimmy who try to make the most of the community and save our belittling and ridicule for the scammers and other people that make this place less friendly.

Maybe it is time for the mods/owners to introduce a point system for breaches of forum conduct? drive away the nastiness and ridicule with short suspensions as warnings and bans for persistently obnoxious behaviour.

We could have a dress code as well..... :Whatever_

Yeah right back at yer :Whatever_

Galifrey:Good valid points !
I enjoy buying my cars,get bored or change my mind,it's not like a steal OAP's money,or scrounge off the Goverment etc,it's my money,so I can do whatever I like...Cheers
One thing I wasn't going to say 'till it is aired this year,I got stoped driving my 61 plate vehicle a few weeks ago on the M42 by an un-marked BMW,it was the Cops from Motorway Cops (BBC1) and the film crew !! Opps,so that will all give you a laugh and may be an insight to me,I have most of the 29 mins stop on my iPhone,I will upload it to you tube if you wanna have a good laugh,a bit more of a dick I felt I can tell you !

What did you get stopes for?

NP. do upload, will be a laugh for sure ;)

OK,OK...I am ONLY posting the 2nd half up as I have to much personal info on the first bit.No point in saying don't laugh as I would laugh if the shoe was on the other foot !!

What did you do Jimmy, from the way he was talking it wasn't your first time?

Doesn't work mate; just generates suspicion and promotes tit for tat exchanges on the basis of who has given a positive or negative apprasial of who. We've tried user issue infractions and comminty ratings of posts i.e. been down that path before.

The best advice that can be given, is: If you don't like someone, ignore them- it takes two to tango. And as you pointed out, at the end of the day: who really gives fook what a stranger on the net thinks of you or what you say.

This is how we say goodbye to members on SN ;) :D

I use to be a naughty boy,but a good boy now lol
I looked at my phone,DIDN'T make a call on it !!

:lol1:

Fair point well made, like I said, doesn't bother me, too old and thick skinned :)

I said it before in another thread to you but I'm going to say a bit more jimmy.

You don't buy a scooby so you can join SN. Think about all the guys at WMI. You have been to the meets and tell me that wasn't different to on here. Enjoy your car and do it for yourself. I had a scooby and wasn't even on here. I'm a new member.

you might have wanted to edit out your fone number jimmy! and man you got huge nostrils lol. hope u decide to stay bud, i always have a nosey at your threads and they are always entertaining in one way or another. every community needs characters and you certainly are one for sure! i used to go on holiday with a squad of my m8s and one is called crazy johnny and hes the life and soul wherever we go and i love the guy to bits! hes a bit like bez from the mondays just always on it "and mad for it" if you know what i mean. a lot of people think hes f*****g mental and dont get him and sometimes slag him off but hes a top guy. if u do decide to drive off into the sunset good luck to you.

:lol1::lol1::lol1::lol1:
Cheers,I use to drink with Bez in 2004 in Manchester,he's as mad as a hatter !!!
I changed my number by the way ! :thumb:

Jimmy,don't take this the wrong way.
The above post is what makes people wind you up.seriously,don't be so short tempered.
DCI gene hunt just made a funny post.He didn't throw abuse at you and you exploded.

God, you never lasted long!!!! If you can't handle the comments just put them on ignore mate.

But you seem to take some comments by others personally mate, that's the downfall here, don't let the door bang you on the ass on the way out, lol

Good luck anyway.

Mac

Your last post in SN before you leave and you post it in the wrong section :lol1:



DCI, can I champion the dress code. I like to wear a little black number when I am posting though I relax that at the weekends and dress down a bit. No shoes

:)

That explains the herb grinder in your ebay feedback :lol1:

Swiss, you'll always be a champion :D

It's my brothers account !! :o

JUST SAY NO!

Jimmy try not to take comments made on here to heart, there is plenty of tw8ts on here who like to be keyboard warriors from time to time and a few like of them tend to stick together and pick on a victim. Just try not to give them any ammo or rise to their comments and you will be ok:)

How on earth have you managed 1300 posts since November???? I bet you was browsing Snet when you got pulled:D

Wait for it to go on TV and you will find out !! :lol1:

That's optimistic ;)
