what the hell happened then? I have been away for a bit and it's all gone bonkers!!

I know there was some fairly hardcore scrapping between senior bods and some moderators and/or the boss on my last visit...

I got the letter, which frankly read a little bit cowardly to me - being niceish at the beginning and all 'billy big-bananas" at the end with its bold type etc.

And about the unauthorised events, meetings etc., what the hell was wrong with organising your own events anyway? Who do they think they are? Do I need to ask permission to wipe my backside too - be it 'club embossed' bog-roll or not!?!

RRRRAAAAAAAAA!

thanks for listening.

Looked up paranoia in the dictionary it said " Who want's to know?"  Looked up camouflage - couldn't find it anywhere!

Always room for a bit of humour , I hope!

You probably need a few more posts before that option becomes available.

I'll edit it out for you, I wouldn't want you to have any problems with calls etc. (I'm one step ahead of you, I've already done it - NeRo )

I never knew what that word mean till i looked it up

In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who comes into an established community such as an online discussion forum, and posts inflammatory, rude, repetitive or offensive messages designed intentionally to annoy or antagonize the existing members or disrupt the flow of discussion, including the personal attack of calling others trolls.

 

Loads of above been going on the last couple of days

wonder if there is a Troll spray on ebay

Nigel - you have a PM.

Perhaps you might like to ask Nero, StuB, John Safe, Spokey, Nick to name but a few as to my intentions.

My name is Giles Bowes, I own an M3 CSL should you care to verify this info.

I take considerable offence at being labelled a troll.

Thanks.

Giles, I can verify who you are. I have removed your Mobile Number for you. NeRo

People do feel brave behind pseudo/nicknames - the internet brings down the barriers between people, everyone is the same and some feel able to say what they think.

However I'll quite happily tell people what I think to their face.

Nero`s 1000 post and he does it with a spelling error Lol

Now lets all stop bickering and get on with it

Sure it`s against forum rules to fight amoungst each other

Iain, I'm a BMWCC member and enjoy much of what the club has to offer. Clearly stuff has occurred that has raised the pulses of many people forum and CC alike and I have no desire to understand who said what or understand whose sensitivities have been maligned.

I was at the Motor Show today.  It was generally a disappointment, with the notable exception of the BMW area, which was nothing short of a triumph and served to remind me of exactly why I love the brand.

The sooner we all leave our ego's and sensitivities at home and concentrate upon the reason we all come together here on the forum and to Club organised events, the better.

That's my point Iain and I'd appreciate it if you didn't patronise me by suggesting I haven't read or understood the full issues.

(Also for the record, I'm 41 on Monday which therefore makes you an old duffer by the sounds of it.)

It is because they were brave enough to speak to the people that we are, where we are now
