Is it just me? I am getting really fed up with all the negative t*ssers who keep spoiling this site. If it's not the "speed -six engine" it's the "cerbera's are unreliable " or the latest one "the Tamora is ugly"

Mainly, the people who post this rubbish are people who hide their identity. What can be done?

Even my Missus would come on here then!!

Seriously though, there are one or two people, who hide their identity, that always post the same dull, boring, negative tripe all the time. Sure we can all have a different opinion and agree to disagree but every forum now turns into a "Your speed six engine will blow up" or "your Tamora is ugly" or a Porsche V TVR battle. Its beggining to spoil things.
I like to read people being positive about things but it's all negative recently, I'd rather come home from the pub and have a laugh about what's been written on here than get in a rage like I did last night....

a bloke who calls himself tvrnut??? who decided to use my profile to tell everyone how sh*t my car was and that I had the temerity to defend the styling of the Tamora.
At the end of the day I love my Tamora and I don't really care if the odd person doesn't care for the styling. But some of the rubbish I have read ,like "The Tamora will kill TVR" is total crap. If the press have gone wild over the Tamora and people like Tiff Needell say on Top Gear that "its the best ever TVR" we should be pleased shouldn't we???

That's why I got brassed off Marki.

Then i can totally understand you throwing one , that sort of crap is just not on .

At the end of it if you dont like the styling of a motor then thats fine every one is entitled to an opinion, but we should all be grateful that any manufacturer has the balls to produce cars that are out of the ordinary , i am sure there are cars i love that you hate and vis versa .

But i have got to say in the past you have made some pretty strong comments about BMW and the drivers of BMW`s in general,but opinions are like assholes every one has one but to steal some ones profile to flame a car or a person , how the hell did he get around your password .
You have made your choice and good on you , i dont get the hostility about the Tamora that some have , i mean its not my cup of tea as i have said before ,but as we agreed i have not seen it in the flesh yet , but then i still think a Wedge looks good

Guys,

Some of the threads can get heated, and people will take umbrage sometimes with the comments made by regular contributors - Bennno got flak a while back, but he isn't here to cause trouble, he just happened to upset a few people because it was felt he was repetitive.

Like many of you I get pissed off by the boring 'TVRs are pants / unreliable / worth peanuts / etc' and find it strange that many of the comments come from people that have had maybe one bad experience and sold their TVR. If they are that bad why keep reading / contributing to a TVR forum .

As to the 'mine is better than yours' debate, well this will never be resolved, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we are all entitled to our opinion. Flasher is correct in that he doesn't generally slag off those that are not his favourites - however last night's post wasn't too subtle was it Flasher.

I believe that the best way of avoiding this problem is to ignore the negative comments if poss as I don't really want to see more censorship on here - and I'd hate people to get offended and not come back (don't throw the toys out the pram).

Anyhow - enough reasoned argument - I don't give a toss 'cos I know the S series is better than all your common modern crap

Cheers,
JSG

That was humour Flasher, Apache et all before you nuke me.

Excellent mate. Agreed. benno is very good mate of mine and he thought the whole thing a while back was hilarious, he had his most boring ever day in the office when Ted banned him!!

I generally ignore these things but last night's personal attack really annoyed me ..... I'll try to ignore it next time
