Yeah I am more risk adverse these days for sure, however, that's more to do with growing up a bit / having more to lose.

Depends how deep you dig, if you mean this thread - http://www.corsasport.co.uk/board/viewthread.php?tid=616292&page=4
...then his input is fairly objective and he makes a good point, how are you going to manufacture, export and market a set of suspension for that money.
That's not him saying you can only have coilovers if you have lots of money, that's him saying don't expect to do it on a budget and them to be perfect. That's not the same point but I can see how if you have it in your mind that he's being rich and arrogant how it might look like that.

I don't think he's arrogant, I can just see why some do.
I think he's touchy and can't take someone ribbing him is all
Anyway..you haven't answered my Steve point..
I've seen you on occasions make personal remarks about him.. Could also be taken as a grudge?

It wasn't though, I read it wondering where he could make up a few tenths here and then, how his acceleration would affect the exit speeds and braking points for the following corners, many other factors about driving faster on a circuit. There were loads of people who just took the piss because they had it in their heads that anything other than a scientific test is pointless.
I've compared my data with Adams and his car has over twice the power and 4wd, is that pointless? Because I spent a few hours doing it and did a better lap time afterwards?
Just because you think its idiotic, consider that you may be missing the point of his post in the first place.
Incidentaly, same thread on WR. Fewer people, more focus on the actual question not the question assumed by the people who didn't read it properly, completely different thread -

It'd be a grudge if it were still going on but I'm pleased to say it's not.

That's a valid point... Since I don't go on track it seemed pointless to me. Since you do then it may have been helpful to you

I feel we need a list of grudges you see on here.. The only alreally active one I see is Barnes vs ojc.. Others pop up and vanish in a day

I see that differently as well, again using that lap time thread the ribbing was because people didn't understand what he was asking. Its like he was getting criticised for something he hadn't even done.
You can't misunderstand a thread, miss his point completely, then tell him that it's him who is the idiot and expect him to be all fine with it.

I think a private list of who you think have open grudges ECT which effect the forum should be made.. Then u2u each member individually and say, "anymore ruining threads and pointless or nasty remarks relating to this issue then punishment will be dealt"

I'm always going to have that view of him because of the u2us he sent me so id rather not drag the issue back up with him so its probably best we agree to disagree on that

I u2u loads of people all the time, and sometimes I have public rants when the volume of u2us gets too much.
Really don't want, or want to need a list.

This was a more general rant but it was triggered by the missing VIN thread which I've edited.
There were loads of examples as you illustrated.

all I'm doing is what the spam crew do which has been deemed as acceptable behaviour by ian. so if its not acceptable, why do they get away with it all the time?
sort them out with their utter shite, then i won't do it.

Well in my opinion, if members have previously been warned and still continue then you have only one option.
I received a u2u from you about spamming ECT and complaints made.
I have actively tried to stop doing it.
I've had no more arguments or u2us so it must be working.
This should be the case with any member.

Lol Nic you have always did it though.. Even before ojc came back.
3cm isn't that bad, he is baited a lot into making corrado comments and is never ever offensive to anyone or nasty ever.
Ojc, I can't deny the racism but he is funny and does make good threads. Did you see the mess every one made of his thread on a family car, none of that was his doing.
Steve probably has the best project on here and his threads are always a good read
Don't see why you hate them

I know. You usually do. I just don't see the evil in them.
I see far worse posted by others.. Well maybe not the racism bit
