PH thread hypocrisy...no wonder this place has a bad rep!

[havoc]

I knew PH has had a bad reputation for a while, but I'm now realising why.

Surfing tonight I read the following two threads, both in SP&L and NOT in the Lounge, where I might have expected it. And both read like a bunch of Daily Wail readers going to a public lynching - so much vitriol, a ton of double-standards (esp. on the drifting thread) and generally a complete lack of empathy / willingness to consider other perspectives.

Jesus H F***ing Christ guys, are we all schoolkids or mature adults? I did think that car-enthusiasts were a little 'better' than your average overly-tribal football fan, but clearly we can get caught up in mob mentality just as easily.

I clicked on those and saw nothing of interest.

Those threads seem pretty tame compared to what some users post in the threads in the NP&E subforum.

One is in GG not SPnL.

The "going the wrong way on the M1" thread has brought out the tard in some posters.

"Can't see a problem" blah blah blah comes up top of 2nd page.....tard.

The second link in the OP should be

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

for the whole thread .

It's a good example of a fair few of the usual narrow-mind-wide-mouth suspects which detract from this place coming out to play, I'll grant you that .
