hummmm
I have NO idea what has gone on... :-/
This is just an internet forum, chill out!
Ah! Tunnie talks sense at last 
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
