Shame to see this forum going all Cliquey already. If you mean people picking up on an arrogant bastard, then yes, I guess it is cliquey. Reads like Pack mentality to me, m8. Seems like there's more rules every time I come on here rather than what this forum purported to be about when it started. Maybe people should think about how imperfect they are rather than slagging someone off offensively at the drop of a hat. There's a mirror in the bathroom, I use it every day. Some times I wish that ugly runt would simply go way. PS I thought about using the word "Flapperjack" but it doesn't scan.

I've had other people mention about posting photos on here - the reason being they wanted maximum exposure. The whole point of me suggesting Steve post his pictures further down was so that HE could benefit with non-members being able to view them. I couldn't give a flying whatsit where he posts them personally. And for the record I didn't ask anyone to stick up for me, nor did I pass comment myself. But what he said really upset me. But I guess that's okay.

There's a phrase we have over here BFD - "Courtesy costs nothing", someone being blatantly offensive to someone else with absolutely no provocation is uncalled for in any setting. I don't need a rule to tell me that - it's just a case of knowing how to treat people surely?
If it's Cliquey to stand up for your mates when someone takes a swipe at them, then bring on the clique.

I've avoided posting on here, because I wasn't sure Schumi would appreciate it and we also know she is more than capable of fighting her corner , but she's been upset. It seems clear that dixpix hasn't been back on to apologise, which i thought he may after a day or two after realising he was out of order, but no. I don't think some people appreciate how much time and effort both Sub and Schumi put into this forum and how hard they work to make it a friendly and informative place for us all. I for one love being on here..BFD and Dixpix you know where you can go if you don't like it

Members only?? Says pics on the web?? Had a belly full of forum no alls over the last 2 days, move it yourself if it offends you Dave this post by dixpix was totally uncalled for and out of order . Ok we like people to speak their mind and say what they think , but this was an over the top and ignorant reply to a polite request . Rules on this forum - nope , but a respect for other posters doesn't cost much .

Paulco, while I agree that dixpix's response was out of order I feel the response to it was totally over the top, all it seemed to do was lower the responders to the original abusive level. I'm unaware of any hidden agenda by dixpix, I've got a lot of time for the SS (schumi & subedei) but I'll stick by my original statement that there's a Clique- or Pack-mentality evident here which I don't feel is necessary, lowering it back to BSF level. Happy Days, BFD!

Fair enough, Dave. That's your opinion and that's fine, and I have a lot of respect for you too. Though I prefer to think of us being a group of individuals who like to have fun and not take life too seriously. Anyway, I've put it behind me and would like to move on. Looking forward to Nicki beating Leigh a week on Saturday and getting that second WC. And lots of photos.

As for the 2nd half of your response - you sure know how to hurt a guy! Go Leigh! Go WWOS!! (Smile for the camera Mr Capone)

With the exception of Rob (Ghengis) I've don't actually know any of the people on this thread so wouldn't consider that I'm part of any sort of 'clique' - I don't DO the 'pals' thing hence why my face has never really fitted with the 'in crowd' on the BSF! My response would have been the same to ANYONE who was rude and obnoxious, without provocation, to anyone else - even you BFD!

Just trying to make a point that IMHO -(heavily Underlined if I knew how to do it!) there's a fair bit of attacking the Poster rather than the post. The more opinions the merrier, but if you don't agree then reasoned arguments ring better than knee-jerk Pavlovian Responses. (WOOF, WOOF!) PS I'll be invading Europe next season, busy ATM rolling Schoolkids for their Lunch money to finance the Expedition, and look forward to meeting up with as many of youse Ugly bastards as I can! Most of youse haven't had the pleasure of my company and regard me as an International Man of Mystery/Figure of Fun (delete whichever inapplicable) so I'll do me best to live up/down to expectations as the case may be!

Which in this case was entirely justified in the case of dix and, unlike the BSF we actually let it happen, which is the main difference between us and them. dix took a helpful and entirely innocent post and turned it into an uncalled for and unreasonable personal attack. On the BSF, it would probably have ended up in warnings and post deletions; on here, we police ourselves, we've never had an 'attack the post, not the poster' rule, and still don't. In short, if you come on here and behave like a petulant prick, expect to be treated like one!
