vr6storm 0 Posted October 27, 2004 im with alex on this one,people are far to quick to judge on here,take that american guy who came on here to offer some items for sale,and he was just abused,then he gave sh!t back and his thread was locked...by the way if i bought a storm in blue and then decided to spray it yellow does that mean its not a storm any more??after all its only a bloody badge he was abused??????......ahh so Henny saying that the cover would look the wrong-way on is abuse???? :roll: .........cos it was after that,that your new american friend started to be abusive :wink: and if you bought a storm and painted it any other colour you fancied you would probably get slated for that,but as it was a storm in the first place and this "white" one isn't even a VR6 then yours would still be a storm albeit in a non-storm colour Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But as it looks like you didn’t and you can’t even spell my name right, this is why I now expect that kind of reply on here. Sorry but I don’t think anyone he has the right to start calling people names just because they think they know better. There is no reason or excuse for it especially when the person has done nothing to provoke it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coolrado 0 Posted October 28, 2004 i think it would probably be better if anyone who made personal insults about anyone else on here should either edit out the insults or appologise for them :wink: at the end of the day its his car and if he wanted to paint it pale blue with pink polka dots thats up to him and maybe listen to the advice of barry and calm down calm down :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRuler 0 Posted October 28, 2004 yes calm down its just a forum for god's sake. i have done some cheesey mods in the past to my cars, and you are welcome to point and laugh - i'll get some pics of my mk2 escort. lol@that picture btw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My intention by posting that was not to rile our new American compadre into spitting teeth - merely to highlight the point - again - of the what the forum is used for. Notice, when he got stroppy, I made a point of not rising to it - as well, arguing on the internet is pretty pointless. Regardless of topic. OK, I wasn't the most politcally correct person when doing so - but I never am. Blame my parents for my morally devoid upbringing. That's me done on the subject... good night vienna. randal The link below illustrates my point, however - do not click if you are easily offended. http://300bps.org/albums/funnyshit/abg.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no reason or excuse for it especially when the person has done nothing to provoke it. right alex please don't take this to much to heart here its not meant to be insulting .......but the way i look over this thread is that there have been two members who actually "insulted" him by calling him names(which tbh i'm sure most of us have been called at least once in our lives).......and maybe its pedantic and anal but if you put a badge on your motor which identifies it as being something it is not then surely you'll find yourself getting criticism for it.................and as for aide spelling yer name wrong :wink: come on i seem to remember plenty of posts/ threads on the yahoo e-group from you with plenty of spelling mistakes and IIRC forum/e-group members being told to stop being so anal about that..............as ive said at the beginning of this post this is just my view of it and isn't meant to be insulting to you or your friend,i'm also sorry threads like this have left you feeling aggrieved and annoyed with the some of the forum members but this is afterall a forum where everyone can have there say and if your friend feels so aggieved by whats been said he is more than welcome to put his views across too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chrishill 0 Posted October 28, 2004 maybe its pedantic and anal but if you put a badge on your motor which identifies it as being something it is not then surely you'll find yourself getting criticism for it coming into the conversation a little late here but i have to agree with that. Its up to the individual to do with their car what they see fit, but if you saw a mini one driving about with a cooper S badge on the back, you'd probably be thinking the same as me...WHY!? I dont see the point of badging an already pretty unusual car as something its not, its not going to gain him anything other than a few frowns from C enthusiasts, but like i've already said each to their own.

Storm 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Having just read through all of this, I thought I'd join in. "piccies of ultra rare white corrado storm" is falsification of the truth. So the question is does that mean your up for potshots because you ARE effectively lying. I think yes, however it should NOT be abusive. He could easily state that for example "its got Storm badges because I got them together with whatever genuine bits off of a written of car etc" Alex you say that there is a genuine reason for this, well he does not mention that on his site so he's going to get shit, because that site does state that this is the real deal. The purpose of a forum is to share opinions and advice. If this guy is pissed off, well he's allowed to be because thats his choice. If he wants to defend himself or if you want to do it thats choice. The fact that his action has led to people voicing there opinions; concern or support is a good thing. NOW LETS ALL BE FRIENDS LIKE WE ALWAYS WERE AND THINK ABOUT THE NEXT MOD, DRINK, SHAG, whatever floats your boat 8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NOW LETS ALL BE FRIENDS LIKE WE ALWAYS WERE AND THINK ABOUT THE NEXT MOD, DRINK, SHAG, whatever floats your boat I hear that, I'm good for a return to normality.

aposegil 0 Posted October 28, 2004 well as this post seem to be going round in circles now I can’t see the point of posting after this as for my spelling this only due to the fact I don’t have time to double check everything I post to you guys all the time and my points have always been clear so that hasn’t been a prob but the fact my name is everywhere and still cant be spelt right isn’t the same as just normal spelling in my eyes as for the criticisms if you guys gladly want to carry on, so do it but as far as I'm concern with the yahoo group and CCGB this has never happened so ill let you make your own decision I’ve made mine, as far as I'm concern there is enough people in the vw scene making comments all day long I don’t think there is need for more to join in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vr6storm 0 Posted October 28, 2004 as for my spelling this only due to the fact I don’t have time to double check everything I post to you guys all the time and my points have always been clear so that hasn’t been a prob but the fact my name is everywhere and still cant be spelt right isn’t the same as just normal spelling in my eyes well tbh if you look closely to aide's post you'll see its had all the letters of your name typed in, just not in their correct sequence......same way as sometimes i've typed in ahve when ive meant haveetc.......i doubt very much aide was trying to insult you there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
