    So now im being deagraded because someone had a go at me In what was realy a trivial issue and i responded? and you are offended at the term "get a life" Why if you were so outraged didnt you PM me instead of starting a thread about me? if the newer members are bringing a new feel to the board and the "Seniors" dont like it maybe i should go get a life and leave this forum:mad:

    Oh, I don't know......it sounds like one of those 'fine line' things again.

    It can be hard saying the 'right' thing all the time. Personally, I get so bottled up, worried about offending people, I spend a lot of time ensuring I say 'IMO' and 'I reakon' a lot,,,,so I don't sound too bigotted ...........and also replacing 'you's with 'ones' so I don't sound like I'm being personal when I'm trying to describe a negitive point. ...you know, one can't be too careful with ones words when one is talking to ones fellow member, IMO, anyway.....but if I don't stick them in, I fear that somebody might think I'm a know-it-all wally. :eek: Heavon forbid....but then the worry gets so much, I find myself thinking ' bugger it, I don't care anymore, if they get offended, then thats there problem ! ' :eek: ....So, thats the point where one might say 'get a life !'

    But what does 'get a life' mean anyway. I mean, even if I had a life that needed changing, how the hell would I go about doing that ? :confused:

    I do respect a man for sticking up for his mate. But, you don't want to scare Lignum away. He's clever chappy. I like his work. If I was in charge of this show, I'd want more like him, who find the effort to post pictures of his work in this forum.

    Don't go mate.

    Ya got a point though. I don't think I'd ever get so offended about being told to 'get a life'. Anyway did Ryan get offended ?

    When I first came here a similar situation happened to me. I made a passing trivial joke, that was taken the wrong way, and suddenly all these blokes started coming down on me hard as well, with tut tut words......' I was thinking,,,what I do !? ...what I do ?!

    At the time I was thinking....What a bunch of tight-#### wallys. Pictures of extremely well dressed, aristrocratic snobs came to mind. Bow ties, monicals, pocket watches,,,correcting everyone on their poor grammer. You know, like the monopoly guy. But I was wrong... How could you be dressed like that and push a plane ?

    oh, I better bite my tongue Where's Ozwinner. About time he says something to lighten things up.

    Hi there,
    Being a newbie I don't really know the tone of this wonderful forum before I came along, but I think this is a seriously good on-line community as is I sincerely hope not too many more of the old guard drop by the wayside, as people like Sturdee have a lot to offer us. And I hope all this flak about freedom of expression (swearing) doesn't get too much for our moderators, and they give up in disgust:eek:
    To put it simply, I guess we all need to adopt a more tolerant and considered tone, to ensure we can hang on to this wonderful Forum. If not we'll all have to go and get a life!!


    Cheers,
    Andy Mac

    Decided that the last 39Ks into Heidelberg wasn't worth it. Sleep in a warm dry bed tonight. There was only 4500 people on the ride. The rest of you are lazy gits.
