JustGav Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I for one have my own views, which for this particular thing I will keep to myself, which I have made aware to the mods. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=92332 What are people's views on this? This is one of the big reasons club spirit has gone to shit to put it bluntly.... It is certainly taken a downward spiral over the past few months, and doesn't seem to show any signs of improving.

DaveK Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Totally out of order in my opinion. In the short time I've been on the forum I've not noticed anything from Paul E - but I do know now that I will never have any dealings with him in the future. You can't really tell what people are like from a fairly anonymous login ID and some internet posts, and he's probably a really nice guy. Still, first impressions count - and my first impression is he's a tosser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 People do have disagreements, but i think there better conducted away from a public forum, slanging matches like that don't do the club any favours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andyhannah Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I for one am not happy about the comments made, and have sent ian a pesonal message with my symapathies as i was unaware of his personal circumstances. I have just been through a painful few months of my life where a close family member has been having cancer treatment so this has affected me quite badly. It was distasteful and down right pathetic to let a petty feud sink to such unsavoury comments towards a man who is just recovering from a terrible period in his life. I would like to say here first and foremost that i solely own miami-gt and that paule is now not involved one bit. I am sorry paul but i have seen you in a different light and am not happy at all. Having lived with someone who was suffering cancer i am pretty much appaled with youre behaviour. Thats all i have to say on the matter. And if you would kindly remove my name from youre signature please. andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gord R Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 ... I have to say i dont agree with people jumping on for sale threads with links to cheaper places. Paul is trying to make a living as we all are.. If people think they are to expensive then go elsewhere, its for the individual to judge what they are worth to themseleves. This is one of the reasons i left the MRC Club But on the other hand. I think some of the latter comments made on that thread are bang out of order. I have grown up with family members who have suffered/died as a result of cancer, and i feel particualy strongly against people making digs/joke about such a serious matter. I understand there with always be contrasting views , but there is never a need to bring that level of argument onto a public forum , i joined this club at 14 and im sure there are other younger members, are you guys really setting a good example? If any individual has such a serious issue with another individual then this should be discussed in person outside of a public forum .. i know there are many very good aspects to the club but i certainly didnt pay my membership fee to read that sort of thread.

Gamer Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 All I will say about this is that I do not think Paul made the comment referring to cancer. I took it as meaning that Alex and Ian were the balls that came in pairs. I could be wrong of course but that is how I read that comment. The screenshot that Terminator posted up makes no reference at all to what region of the body that the person in question had the cancer problem. Of course there could be more that I do not know but the same holds true for all of you, no one knows for sure. I think that you should not all be so quick to convict. I am not taking sides or anything I am just giving my opinion of what I think was said. I'll go get a new tub of popcorn and be right back.

Dragonball Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I will state, hand on heart, without fear of contradiction that I was not aware of Ian's afflication effecting him in that way and if I had have been aware would have retracted my wording immediately It was never meant a cheap dig and I have apologise for the use of the wording unreservedly, and wish him long life and health Unfortunately this goes back much further and involves a lot more than people might be aware... I simply request that be left alone I can say no more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I vote we lock both threads, let them die a death and move on - It's this sort of crap that ruins good forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-K Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 what i will say is for a long time after i first joined people i didnt even know where leaving me courtious insults in posts and replies,. some of it i admit i asked for, but most i didnt,. and after a while i became very paranoid visiting these forums., i had to double,sometimes triple check everything i was typing,.. i was slated for everything,. in the end, altho people said it wouldnt help it did., i changed my user name and by a miracle the bad times seem to of gone away ? but in reference to the question,. well the thread has nothing to do with me, but i think ( it looks when read ) that it just got out of hand and got heated on both sides,i can see how one might be insulted by certain testicular gags, but on the same post i can see how easy it would be for someone to forget about being told. i think we should just move on and let bygones b bygones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I think everyone should just shut the F up about it. So some people don't get on. Deal with it. It's plainly a "For Sale" thread, and off topic posts should be pruned, just as I would like unhelpful comments pruned from sale threads of my own. If people want to discuss prices, fine. If they want to snipe, they can do it elsewhere. Ban everyone involved maybe - it's an even-handed solution. I don't care for petty personal differences on what should be a technical forum.

psymon Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 So... By posting this thread, your just stirring up more trouble. Just let it lie..... I think enough has been said in the other post, We all know they don't get along.. People say things in haste and whether Paul Knew or not, its he who's got live with himself . can't we just lock the threads and be done. I did think that this was a great site but over the last 6 months its gone downhill, just like all or most other forums. Lets Drop, eh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Who cares? It's like the T.V, if you don't like it don't watch/read it, if a few blokes want to vent through a keyboard then hell, go for it, it's better than physical violence and doing someone some real harm! There will always be disputes like this and personally I think it's great as it's far more entertaining than sitting watching Eastenders with the better half PS, just watched a History of Violence on the T.V, now that was really worth watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
