I don't really want to be part of this forum anymore as there is far too much bitching and nastyness for me. Some people seem to forget the rule "attack the post and not the poster". I came over here from the BBC 606 to escape the stropy and the narrow-minded and was looking forward to good discusion soley on the topic of F1 (or motorsport in general, depending on the thread). However, while this is often the case, I have noticed more and more particular persons continually attacking each other as if there is some kind of grudge. Its not what I want. Shame really cause there are a lot of people who know an awful lot about F1 and I was actually learning a few things as well as having fun. Thanks to everyone who greeted me so kindly on the first day and all the best to you all. Could the admin please shut down my member account.

JJB... take a sabbatical if you feel you must but I value your contribution to this forum... Most of what is said is only said because we can hide behind the web... half of what is said would never be said face to face.. Go enjoy the weekend... enjoy the race... and please come back recharged

As one of the Admins on the site I am upset that a member has felt the need to post publicly without letting us know of any problems they were having first. We are here to try and sort out any problems and resolve issues just as this. JJB-Ferrari I'm really sorry that you feel this way but I do wish that you had come to us first. I can only repeat what John has said and hope that you will re-consider.

I don't venture into the F1 forum that much,so tend to miss any 'bitching and nastyness' that might occur Hope you re-consider your proposal though ;-) |

I have to say that I think JJB is exaggerating any kind of discord that occurs on TPL. The F1 forums are not a place of bickering, but a place of interesting and stimulating debate. That we don’t all agree with one another only enhances the debate. I totally disagree with what JJB says here, DC19 and Paul M. work hard to make the F1 section a good place to hang out and they do a great job of it. If you were to compare TPL to 606, HPL or indeed the other forum which is trying to recruit (poach) our members, I think you will find it is a much more stimulation place to chat whilst retaining an air of friendliness. The forum is not a ‘nasty’ place to hang out; the fact that we have out paced our main competitor for new member growth only underlines this. I feel sorry that JJB felt it necessary to add drama to a drama free site, I am sure he had his motives, though I cannot see what they are. I enjoyed talking with him, but he must to what he feels he must do. I think that is all that needs to be said. |

I used to work for a firm in Leeds and the staff in the department I worked in were all very close in age, temperament and sense of humour. We constantly hurled "insults" at each other and enjoyed the banter. However, staff from the other departments were frequently heard to say "I couldn't work with that lot, they are always bickering and fighting. They are really nasty". What one person thinks is hilarious might be construed by another as being insulting. More so when it's written down. I've said this more times than I care to think about, particularly where message boards are concerned. Smileys do have a use in tempering what one is saying and taking the sting out of something that may sound otherwise patronising, insulting or generally unkind, but not everyone likes to use them. |

an appology: wickedwitch is absolutely right, should have contacted the admin personally if I had a problem rather than spitting my dummy out of the pram. I feel bad that I may have given the impression that this forum is not very friendly. Saint is also right, I created a bit of unnecessary drama and I now feel very stupid and embarrased. All I can say is sorry. I can assure you tho Saint there was no agenda and admin please feel free to delete my post, it was a bit pathetic wasn't it! yours, eating much humble pie JJB sorry gang ![]() |

Glad your not going, if you go and select your first post to read, once your in press EDIT, and you can delete it/alter it yourself. I found out you can edit any post you posted yourself, which is a good thing as sometimes when i read a post i made, it does not convey what i meant. |
