The people calling PHers stupid have probably paid for professional services from a PHer at one point in their lives. Who's stupid now?

The "Camera can capture some fantastic moments" thread is a sickening parody of all that is good in modern British society. Avoid at all costs.
A bit harsh. frown
True, but harsh indeed.

In fairness, there must be a litany of people I dislike whose services I have used. Is that stupid? Unavoidable I'd have thought?

...is not even slightly the same as saying it is solely bigots spouting their bile.

You may dislike them but you don't state that they are stupid.

The worst bit is the "pedal power" forum, which is a thinly disguised meeting place for satanists, neo-nazis and racists. And bigots. Many of them also torture animals to the point of death, emitting a series of weirdly high-pitched grunts as they do it.

Some of them also indulge in perverted acts with garden furniture (and, on one unforgettable occasion, with a vintage mangle).

Many fly England flags from their terraced houses and drive transit vans.

Vote Labour.

Oh, I must be doing it wrong. I quite often deal with stupid people and think/call them stupid. Only last week, BandQ took a large chunk of cash out of me. And every single person who 'helped' me instore was verging on retarded. But I paid up because I don't know the name of the DIY superstore staffed by MENSA. Is that not normal procedure in daily life??

Well I guess it's not for those people who are stupid. They will think the people with whom they do business are normal or intelligent. And given the large number who are stupid, I suppose their way is "normal"

Pistonheads forum makes the news - well The Telegraph anyway

Then in the comments on the article you get this one from "Ron"

Ron > david • 3 hours ago

It's a hotbed for bigots to spout their bile. Here is a very typical post on PH. http://tinyurl.com/pwg2mcp

"Reverse our immigration policy retrospectively since 1946 through a process of repatriation"

So XJ Flyer has obviously upset someone who is having their sway in the comments section in the telegraph
Will the rotter step forth ?
Well I'm on that page quoted by our friend Ron and by chance it has picked up on a post that makes me seem considered and reasonable.

Who do I sue for misrepresentation?

This is a disaster. I have a reputation to uphold etc. etc. ...

One or two bad bits? The entire News, Politics and Racism sub-forum is chock full of Kippers with anti-Muslim, pro-send-'em-home views.

And "News, Politics and Racism" is a bloody excellent name rofl

TBH I never considered B&Q a professional service. I was thinking more along the lines of lawyer, accountant, doctor, etc.
