Arument/Rant thread
I thought I would see if I can start an argument!
Due to a few recent threads being hi-jacked by people wanting to have a serious dig at each other, I thought perhaps we could have a thread where
everyone can do just that & thus save other threads of serious, momentous & world shaking engineering pioneeringness (made up word of the
month - anyone want to dispute that!) from getting spoiled!
In future if anyone ever takes something significantly off topic, particularly if demeaning anyone else's engineering/fabrication or whatever
prowess then just direct them here where they can dig away to their heart's content 
I'll start us off shall I?
CEC vs BEC - durrr! sorry, no argument, my ZZR1400 lump is the best of both worlds it will chunter away at 25mph in 6th gear, has all the torque of
any car engine EVER built (yes, that includes the 27 litre Merlin) & yet can be dropped 8 gears to scream away at 23,000 rpm when required &
produces nearly 1000 bhp, it will propel the car from 0 -100 in less than 2 seconds - don't believe me - well you are obviously a dickhead
then!
I'm off for some popcorn - anyone care to join me!
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

Well, for a start Paul your spelling is atrocious - somethin indeed!!!
In all seriousness I think it's a shame when people can't ask a legitimate Q or make a statement without others taking things way off
topic &/or just shooting people down in flames - frequently incorrectly ...................
Sorry had to stop it was 11 o'clock
.............. for no good reason, if you disagree with another point of view there are ways of making a point without being rude & ignorrant
purely for the sake of it

His spellin' is fine; it's his punctuation that's crap, innit?
Terry Pratchett used to reckon that triple exclamation marks was the sign of a diseased mind (an' he should know, seeing as he died of
one)!!!
Sorry, that was in bad taste, wasn't it?
Bike engines are for girls, by the way - real men have a Wankel.

oh where are the good old days of watching CalvinX and Hellfire having nothing better to do than slag off each other at every opportunity then Mark
having a hissy fit and deleting all his hundreds of posts! Totally insane behaviour really.
Was looking into trolls a few weeks ago and why folk do that and it seems most have some mental health issues or just get pleasure in seeing folk get
upset by what they type while they consider themselves to be immune from the consequences, which is probably again a mental health issue and just a
few steps away from killing cats or other such behaviour.
What I think is needed is a website purely for trolls to send other trolls hatefull messages at each other while they get off on it. Could call it
something like HateFap

well they are but that's not important....
I have compiled a list of what I see as common signs on this site for an active troll (I'm on my lunch break with nothing better to) -
1) Has been on the site for a very long time but has surprisingly few posts, even fewer posts that are actually helpful
2) Never seems to be building anything
3) No pictures of what they are building (because they just aren’t)
4) Openly admits they know nothing about car building but still think they have much to teach the rest of us even though we are not remotely
interested
5) Fills up threads with huge unrelated posted mostly rambling on about something completely different to the original post subject that they then
claim to be a world class expert in even though no one believes any of it
6) Only the trolls actually respond to each other while everyone else continues to discuss the original topic while they fight to have the last
comment on the thread.

SO YOU & SAM BOTH THINK I HAVE A DISEASED MIND I FIND THIS DEEPLY OFFENSIVE & WILL IMMEDIATELY REMOVE ALL MY POSTS & CANCEL ANY DISCOUNTS

Ok, so what do you make of 4 exclamation marks then!
I think the troll website has great merit, I reckon you could sell a lot of advertising on there, viagra, cialis, to inflate the ego (?), prozac,
valium, to calm irate folks down, could make a fortune

Scathing, but worryingly accurate - not sure I can agree with item 1) tho', some trolls seem to find it necessary to post on almost every
subject - including many they know absolutely nothing about, but profess to know everything!

Well I didn't actually mention any names of current trolls as I have not been on here very much due to lots to do at work. I have noticed you
left your caps lock on and have a sticky ! key, so you obviously need typing lessons and need to proof check your posts before sending.

Now you're deliberately and vexatiously misquoting me, as usual, Mr Bost.
I said that the late Mr Pratchett suggested it was a sign of a diseased mind. I expressed no opinion on the matter myself. I have brought it to
the attention of the Pratchett Estate that you are attributing his intellectual property to others, and I have no doubt that their legal team will be
in contact shortly. 
ETA: Bugger. No, I did express an opinion on it, didn't I? Ah well.... never let truth and accuracy get in the way of a good arument. I'm
sure the lawyers will sort it out.

Sam, that is the funniest & most accurate thing you've ever said!
That said, I have nothing against Duttons, if it gives someone a cheap intro to the kitcar world & stops another Dutton from
"becoming" a locost or whatever, where's the harm?

I really don't get that there can't be two differing opinions on the same website.
Why should one person insist that everyone should share their opinion, or perhaps we are all latent Jehovah's Witnesses.
