im only kidding you james, its often much easier to be critical of management than to actively praise them.
Despite the saying I think generally "s*** rolls up hill" rather than down.

I would agree with that - no matter how frustrating it is, that was not needed (Chris isn't famed for biting his tongue!).

I think that lowering the tone to calling posts idiotic and people idiots is not acceptable.
I respect Chris for running this site and for all the upkeep, and Fozzie for of course all she does to keep it clean and sensible but Chris's
last two responses are aggressive and unnecessary.

I confess that I'm a bit of an addict to LCB and I would miss it if it went.
So keep up the good work Chris and Fozzie

Amazing how threads can deviate off-topic.
Savate is not an MA as such, just a fighting sport. It is split into 2 types: Combat (aka Elite) which is full contact and Assaut (technique/points
based).
Both styles are done wearing boots/shoes and the aim is to cause damage by hitting with the hard tip of the boot. It differs from Thai in that
shinning is strictly banned. the punching rules are basically English boxing.
A great Combat video:

A fantastic Assaut video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79j-uAyRJFo
None of me on there, I'm not proud enough of my gangly style!
My girlfriend and I both do Assaut. I do Tae Kwon Do as well and she does Thai boxing. Although since starting Thai she's mentioned an interest
in Combat Savate- I'm too wet for that!
Cheers,
James

Without this site I wouldn't have ever considered building my car and the help that is given through this site is second to none, if your not
happy then that's your problem not everyone elses. A massive thank you to Fozzie and Chris and please keep up the good work.

i would have given up at the start if it wasn't for this site.
helpful advice, constructive criticism and a good bit of banter.
big thanks to the administrators and an equally big thanks to the members too.

I agree with that, with the proviso that they don't break civil law and attribute words to a poster in his every post, when it's obvious
he didn't write them.
Apart from that blot, top job by all, especially the always level-headed and seemingly ever present Fozzie

It may have been a bit blunt but "Those that sow the wind shall reap the whirlwind". Although these things are rare on this site I enjoy
reading them and think they should be left to run untill GodwinsLaw come in. That way we just have one thread to follow instead of half a dozen poping
up and being locked. There's nothing quite like a fight to brighten up a dull day.

+1 from me,
I think that the problem is the ability for to be able to.
1 Argue a point but not drop to a personal level
2 Understand that people are allowed a diferent point of view.
It is very strange we even managed a discusion on polotics the other week an no one was hurt.
BUT publiced changes to the size of an avanta is stopping people's fredom of speach. Ps mine was too big got a U2U changed it problem
solved !!
2p dropped in the bucket and must clock back in and get some work done.

I'm sorry you feel that way.
However, from my point of view, the chap was given a perfectly reasonable explanation in my last post in this thread:
http://locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=131979&page=3#bottom
Instead of accepting what any reasonable person would have assumed automatically he chose to carry on banging on about it.
Other than that, thanks a lot everyone for your support. We often get downhearted dealing with silly issues, but stuff like this makes it all
worthwhile.
Cheers, Chris

+ 1 from me too.
I moderate a number of sites, and now find that I spend much more time on LCB, than I do on any of my own sites
If it wasn't for all of you I would have to go and do some work - and we wouldn't want that now would we ?
Cheers,

I am not one for having a brown tongue and I am often criticised for my opinions.  You may not get many posts from me but any that I relay will
hopefully assist the topic poster (and others) in their plight.
With regard to the debacle over avatars, if I were in Chris or Fozzie position I would not have let it go on for so long. The 'Idiot'
should have been ostracised when they questioned the order to change their avatar. Rules are rules; they are not there for breaking or stretching as
far as one can before being told you are wrong.
This site, which I only discovered lately - Vis my number of posts, is excellent. The information on it is invaluable to anyone building a Locost or
working on his or her tin-top. The subjects covered are varied and often funny and when they are not funny, they can be informative. I am grateful
that I can express my mind, as I am doing now, as well as impart my 50+ years experience of automotive engineering.
