lol... from my own experience... if I reckon someone's an idiot, or is using idiot parts or idiot precedures, I'll say it. Better to save someone by speaking up now than watch them waste time and money, I reckon! If someone thinks that's antagonistic or whatever then so be it...! Have a good chrissy everyone!

www.fortyseconds.comForums like these are always wrecked by one or two looking for a fight, or being totally unreasonable, or over reacting. Then again, sometimes things are said on forums which would be fine to say to someone face to face, but not typed as it is too easy to miss the gentle ribbing. While ever there are internet forums, there will always be locked threads. Thats life. Hope you all have a great christmas, and are kinder next year to us poor water cooled compadres....😉

The problem with the web is that you can't read sarcasm in typed text - so people can possibly take it to heart. The other problem is that because it is an open forum, and someone gets slagged off, then they feel compelled to save face - it's the nature of the beast.
If you can't say something nice, then don't say it. If you dissagree with a technical item, outline your points in a nice manner. Simple manners really.
Merry Christmas all.
Squiz.....
....what has been going on....thank goodness I missed this one...hey guys it's so near Chrissy now....Peace n Joy and all that...
Why is it at this time of year the crap comes to the surface?? Family feuds....angst...argh
Yes txts and messages can be so easily misunderstood cos we are often using abreviated conversation...expecting people to mind read sometimes...n it depends on their mood how they are going to read it...

No angst from me!
I think that because you are not face to face that some PPL have a bit more bravado. I would safely bet that more than half the things said on here would not even be thought of saying in the real world when your standing next too or in front of someone! Its easy to be tough when your a thousand miles apart. I did have a problem recently but with persistance and commonsence, sanity prevailed and it was sorted out amicably. Life is too short to hold silly grudge's or to be stubbornly stupid, sometimes you just have to go to give and take a little and go to the middle ground. Or just do whats right and make life a little happer for all. I would rather see a smile on a persons face than tears,unhappyness or stress. Some PPL aske me why I am so positive all the time. I have always found that good vibes attract good vibes in return, my life is good! Its like my cars, I know they are not alive, but they do put out vibes, and they pick up on yours. I have owned old cars all my life, and they have rarely if ever left me stranded. I give them love and attention, talk to them and try to be positive with them. I get sooo much pleasure out of them everytime I get behind the wheel, my enjoyment of them never gets stale! they are my best friends.

Well said Robo. Spot on.
Has anyone noticed that the usual few who have the most negative things to say have stayed right away from this post?!?
I'd love to meet some of these "tough guys" face to face.
I bet they'd be nice as pie. Hiding behind a keyboard does wonders for some people........
So what if some of us haven't "restored a splitty, so wouldn't have a clue"
Seriously people. All people have a right to comment, I just think that some need to think about whether they would say that same thing to a person if they were face to face.
As my mummy used to say "If you don't have anything nice to say........"
Lets keep this a nice place to visit and not a forum for bitchiness and egos.........
Now lets all go to our happy places.:duh
I recently made a Hit List, There is only one Dick Head on it and I'm not afraid to face him.
And I will in time, I CANT WAIT. :vader

I am guessing that your post is aimed at me as I have just restored a splitty and dont know of anyone else who has in recent times.
I have never made a personal attack on anyone, I say as I feel and I believe that is what a forum is about.
Yes I do make some comments to make people think, without them we would be really boring.
What I hate is how some people just expect others to praise tham all the time.
There was a post on this site recently that started"no negative comments allowed"
what does that mean, we must say only nice things all the time, bull shit, we live in the real world, this is a forum and if you dont like something, dont comment or explain.
If you took notice a recent post was answered by me and I did not say anything racist but that is how the post progressed, it was the most viewed post in such a short time, that means people were interested in it.
I didnot see why it was deleted as no personal attacks were made, it was jus some peoples ideas.
Now most know I say as I see it and if you dont like it that is your problem, all those here in Adelaide know me and will say that I am the same in person as I am on this site, what you see is what you get.
I dont type anything that I am not prepared to say to someones face.
As for not commenting before, I had nothing to say, but as you see I have now.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
P.S.
I think some of you should get a life, the ones who posted on Christmas day??????
Cheers
Dave
Dave that p.s. was not a nice comment...so your life is so perfect is it??? You sound very arrogant and quiet cruel in a way
The forum IS part of our lives and we enjoy chatting to fellow vee dubbers no matter what day of the year it is!! :sandrine
Come down of your pedestal sometime and get real ... they are one or two people on here restoring splitties right now and getting a real buzz out of...they may not be perfect in your eyes but they love them and I know one who did take a comment of yours very personally at the time...
YES we do have to develop thick skins around here at times and not try to take things to heart ....and continue to enjoy what we are doing
Have I missed another blue or is this just a general lament??
As I've said before on this type of subject, not everyone likes you, not everyone agrees with you.
These people are as entitled to express their opinion as those who do like & agree with you.
This is the way of the world, & of this forum. Learn to live with it before you get an ulcer.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
Agreed.....we are entitled to an opinion....but the arrogance of some people is not called for...if critisism is used constuctively then yes....some comments are just plain rude
Is it really that hard to ignor someone on here if you disagree with what they say. If you retaliate then expect the same to happen to you.
Just chill and have another :beer
.
So is it all out of our systems now ???????
Did some of us not get what we wanted from Santa ?
My kids 7,5 and 5 behave better then some of you and if they did behave like this I would smack them and send them to there room till they came out and said sorry !
Come on lets all play nicely
I know a few people who just don't come back on here...it is sad....some around here are just plain up themselves in a huge way or totally insensitive to others feelings
I really hope there are not many hit lists being kept around here...that is sad...but I did see the insensitve comment made when someone was sharing a very special event in their life with us....argh!! Not good people :jesus
AND this sort of comment by 57kombi is not called for in a big way
quote
P.S.
I think some of you should get a life, the ones who posted on Christmas day??????
Come on stop saying 'get a life'.... maybe these people had better do some reflecting themselves .... just plain mean at times
Let's make a New Year resolution to be more tolerant .... most are around here are which is why this is such a great forum....it's stuff like this that spoils it sometimes
[Edited on 25-12-2004 by jenz58]
57 KOMBI.
I sort of agreed with you, until I read the P.S.
There is a lot of Shit Stirrers on here; I've been guilty of it as well.
(But only when I'm provoked)
There is also a lot of Jealousy, and that is often what causes these arguments.
I my self couldn't give a Shit what other people have on there Cars.
Because if I wanted what they have, I would buy one as well
Maybe that’s why I don't have to try and bring people down when they have something nice.
Because what other people do or spend money on, doesn't make feel insecure about myself.
But some knob provoked me recently on a totally different and personal issue, and I would like to see him say it to me in person.
He doesn't know me, and I don't know him, and it was uncalled for, I also have relatives living in the next town from him, so it’s a small world.
(I WILL BE IN SYDNEY NEXT EASTER IF HE WANT’S TO REPEAT IT)
He wouldn't last 2 Seconds.
And that is the kind of thing that causes trouble. Some dick makes Stupid Comments when they shouldn’t, then someone wants to get even with them.
I won’t say any thing on here that I wouldn’t in Person, because nearly all the Melbourne people know who I am, and also a lot from interstate.
So if someone try’s to hang shit on your Car, Just think to your self, they must be Jealous or else they wouldn’t waste there time doing it.
I’ve copped shit on my Car over the years, and as I gaze across the room at 15 trophies, I remember that 9 times out of 10 they are driving Cars that haven’t won any thing.

Thanks for your comment dave.
I was one of those PPL that posted on Xmas day, and Im not ashamed of it. Looks like you need to get a life. Obviously with your attitude, yours is not a good one.

kool karma to you and chill out
Flying VW well said, Ive enter my car in vw shows and looking at a few trophies as well.I dont as much as i did due to some comments, because i do come pretty hot under the collar as well i mainly been entering in street machine shows and the response is unbelieveable.Knocking of some summernats cars winning,Best engineered,Top Super comp,Best presentation 4 years running and the judges are just blown away with the car.What iam trying to say is the jealousy is pretty bad amongs competitors at vw shows and on this forum as well.Ive really had one comment on this forum from one member but this bloke has done a lot shit stirring with other people as well i wont mention his name but i will guarantee if said to my face????????Really the monitors will find a way to goven this problen soon all later.JVLRacing Merrychrissy Lets be happy!
Just a little insight as to why someone might be online Christmas day...
Husband died nearly 3 years ago....my sould mate has gone and it is an incredibly lonely time of year...I do miss sharing my life with someone incredibly... to the point of it being very painful
2 of 3 children overseas...the other not living at home and he does have a life...a very full and happy one
My family are not big on huge Christmas parties...we tend to spend it with immediate members only which is nice when you have immediate family around...friends spend it with their own families
I did have Christmas lunch with my sister...her hubby...mum...my son and his girlfriend...but woke up in an empty house and came home to an empty house...I could hear other families around me celebrating together...I have such good memories of my kids and husband home ...the house being full of activity and laughter ...for me it is a sad time of year and I try and be as happy as I can and enjoy the company when I have it....
I so am glad my kids are independant ...I know they love me ...but they have their lives to live and an amazing world out there to explore...that's something I've always encouraged in them all their lives
Yes I'd luv to get my old life back but have to make do with where I am right now and have faith that it all has a purpose
Aussie Vee Dubbers is a community of people I enjoy spending time with ...VW's are my luv and my interest in them has helped me maintain some sanity over the past few years.......yes I was online yesterday
We all have our reasons to be online...but mainly because we have good friends on here and a wonderfully common interest in our rides whatever type they are
Jenz very similar to you and to be honest feel much the same way. I have no family in Oz , split with my girlfriend of 5 years about 2 years ago. I work all hours to have the nice things ( Notch) and live a quiet life on my own.
Since finding AVD i have found alot of mates , untold tech info and alot of parts for my car. Mostly the posts are funny , light hearted or very interesting.
The forum is changing alot and unfortunatly is got to the stage now where i don't post everything i want to as i know i'm going to have some idiot jumping on my post and turning it into a very negative piece.
I was online all of Xmas , even on line at 2am Xmas morning as i couldnt sleep. So what! What,s it to you , do you pay the electric! I have friends and family all over the world and my pc is never turned off especially when i'm on holidays.
One day you may find yourself on your own and you'll know what a life line a place like this is . Comments like that can really hurt people , if you have read Jenz reply you'd see that youve managed to do exactly that. Think how she feels and what awful memories you dragged up for her at this time of year. Nice one!!!
Jeez people c'mon , think about what your saying and why your saying it.
Now lets have a group hug , forget the past and get on with having fun , helping eachother out abit more.
Dan😉:thumb😀:P

"If i had to explain you wouldnt understand"
The Lower Class
My life can be bright and shiny...I try to make sure it's that way as much as possible...just this time of year can be hard for some people...I was a nurse for over 30 years and enjoyed working Christmas to brighten up some peoples lives who had no family to visit them ... I used to feel for them so much...it can be so hard for some people to get through....it can be a real grieving time for things lost from our lives .....
HEY BUT so many of us were online for happpy sharing with friends reasons....and taking a quick break from festivities to catch up on what others had been doing...plain and simple spreading the cheer to friends
I didn't want to bring a downer onto every one just wanted 57kombi to grow up a bit and think a little ...yes n to stop wanking off
Can't agree more this thread needs the flick so bad....wish there was no reason for people to start it in the first place
But we do encourage freedom of speech ...I've always supported healthy debate so even though I have the powers I won't wipe it...we'd only get another thread start up saying it had been wiped anyway and accusing the forum of censorship :duh
Danny the group hug sounds good :sandrine
Can i stop hugging now , my arms are tired and the garage is calling!
Dan:kiss
"If i had to explain you wouldnt understand"
The Lower Class
lol....yes you can stop hugging....go work on the notch :kiss
I've gotta go dust Bel off and get ready to go out 😎
hey 57 kombi are you not he guy who said that you missed out on your childs first three years as you were in the shed working on your beloved splitty ,maybe you need a good attitude adjustment yourself and get a life and back off a bit
It's sad that the dub forums have become such a negative place. It's hard to enjoy the good now when there's so much bad. 🙁
Please everyone, just take a breather and remember that we're all here because we share a passion in something so wonderful!
If our cars can get along, surely their drivers can! :P
