to get their head round it.

You sign up here by agreement you agree to the rules

It's not a democracy you don't get to change the rules once you are "in" because you don't agree with them

I don't think there's anything wrong with a polite post asking for clarification, or why a thread was removed. I suspect I know who you are posting regarding - tiring. This is a car forum, not a gumtree where you can post any junk you want. Apart from in the lounge.

Because, just as in Italian traffic law, the rules apply to everyone else - but *I'm* a special case.

There were more when I joined.

When I were a lad we would dream of 6. 2348 rules, all clad in barbed wire were what we 'ad. We'd 'ave to repeat 'em all to Lord God our Garlick [RIP] each day before t'work and if we got one wrong we would be hit with a spare Cockwomble.

And we was 'appy. We was 'apply because we 'ad more rules.

I don't. To quote Mr G [RIP}

"CW is, I'm sure, a decent fellow but his forum manner was atrocious. Aggression, egotism and an unwillingness to listen was his downfall.

He's had warnings (in the bin, via email and in public) since early 2010, has had numerous forum and thread bans and lots of post removed. Sadly none of our warnings were taken on board and the aggressive posts continued.

Nobody can say we're unfair, or don't give chances...we have two years worth. Many don't get that luxury."
