Just came in from work only 1/2 an hour ago.
Whatever has happened?
Lizzie seems to have gone, and Ljay has only 1 post :-/ :-/
What really amazes me about this forum, there is so few woman, and yet many of us do not get along with each other.
I liked Lizzie and I am very sorry to see her go. I do hope she comes back. Her writings are always articulate and informed.
Myself and Ljay, have a history, and we will not be sending each other Xmas cards, but I bear her no malice, and wish that all the woman of the forum, could get on as well as the men seem to.
Lizzie you could always come back under an assumed name. How about Phoenix Lizzie.....No one would guess it was you ;D ;D :-* :-*
I thought all the slagging off, insulting and general nastiness had stopped when I decided to stop doing it. Oh well ::)

You sound like my Sister. Get involved, wind everyone up and then walk away leaving them to carry on. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Lizzie in the great scheme of things this is just a car forum. And it is not a matter of life or death. So.. what do you say to come back and continue where you left off......You know you want to really. And most members will be happy to see you back, myself included. :y :y

Lizzie has made her choices - and I'm not going to probe into what happened unless anyone concerned wanted to tell me.
I've been a member of this community from the early days - I've had disagreements and like anyone have made mistakes - and apologised - it is now time to move on :y

Had girlfriends that would do that down the pub... Till I learned ;D
2 members are now ex-members in 1 week from 'angry' (or toy/pram) posts. It's a shame and a bit of a waste really.
Why is LZoom's name appearing as FRE07962128 on all her old posts? :-/

My thoughts:
Yesterday's the past and tomorrow's the future. Today is a gift - which is why they call it the present.
Make up life's to short

"It is only a car forum for Christ's sake, and we obviously cannot discuss anything on here very deep, meaningful and worthwhile without risk of certain individuals turning nasty or your goodselves deleting posts / banning members. What a sorry state of affairs; this is meant to be an adult forum!!" you are so right lizzie, now then skruntie wheres that engineering wallpaper/look at the chrome on that ;D

And a wise message it is too. :yQuoteQuotehummmmAh! Tunnie talks sense at last :y

Yes this is just a car forum - and a bl**dy good one as well!
However I agree with Entwoods comments as it is all about your perceptions of what is posted. My perception that certain posts were over dogmatic and condescending are probably different from other members perceptions of the same posts. Whatever my perceptions were I would not knowingly reply in an overtly offensive manner - that only pushes the other topic posts in the same direction.
If i disagree with a post i will say so - just as others have disagreed with some of my posts. But its down to opinions and perceptions - and we are not all the same so we will not all agree. That is part of debate, discussion and life!
But this is just a car forum so FFS chill out, loosen up and have a laugh at some of the funny things that people post. Lifes too short to be a miserable s*d - unless of course that's what turns you on :-/
Cut the over serious krap, loosen up and move on - thats my message :y
I still maintain this is the best car forum out there, hence why I still post despite having had to sell my mig 6 odd months ago. Trust me theres a lot more chance of getting flamed in the BMW forums, its all my c*cks bigger than yours attitude, same in the Audi forums. If you want an easy going forum, this is it!
Christ don't even go there - thats why i have a red sportscar - you automatically get an extra 2" :y

whoops post 61 was a reply to post 59, mere mortals like me haven,t learnt how to highlight and quote yet ;D(thought i'd best explain that lest it all kicks off again)
I always wanted to know how to highlight :y :-[Quotewhoops post 61 was a reply to post 59, mere mortals like me haven,t learnt how to highlight and quote yet ;D(thought i'd best explain that lest it all kicks off again)
seriously? just click the "quote" box on the top right of any post :y :y :y
highlight by selecting the words you want highlighted and clicking the big H in the yellow :)
As per the previous comments. I have never met Lizzie in the flesh. In fact I have only met a few of you in the flesh but it doesn't stop me enjoying the banter and general pi$$ taking that goes on.
At the end of the day it is only a forum (sorry, but it's the truth) but a good one. I try not to insult people, and equally not to read something into a post that isn't there, but I probably have (unknowingly) at some point :-[ :-[ :-[
I just hope that after a few days the "Retrospectascope" will do its magic and Lizzie will return, even if it is under a new user name, because she does have some valid and valued opinions. I feel slightly disappointed that in this group ofsensiblemad adults we have these occurrences of falling out :( :(

Lazydocker!!! You just taught me my new favourite word!!! "RETROSPECTASCOPE" ;D ;)
I too hope Lizzie returns - she always made interesting points :y :y

Can't really take the credit for it... My mother's been using it for years.
But I think it's quite a good way of describing that feeling of looking back in regret!! :D :D

The "General chat" is what it says on the tin. Despite OOF being a car based forum we do have the use of gen chat to share jokes, good/bad days & general opinions. Lizzie like some of us has strong opinions on certain issues & i did'nt always agree with her. However she was never rude or offensive which is why i enjoyed her company & accepted her views regardless. I'll miss her if she decides not to return but respect her decision.Bit late now but i've just read another post regarding Lizzie & LLjays disagreement, & would like to add that the member i will not miss is'nt either of them but another with questionable military views. Just like to set the record straight. No problem with either lady ex members.
As for the other ex member in question i've said it all already & stand by it.
