Coffee and Hobnobs anyone?
I'd just like to thank them for protecting us against the scary knowledge that people might drive whilst on drugs. I for one didnt think it was bad and im glad I now know differently!
Why post pointless spam like this? What does it achieve?
I was voicing my displeasure at (IMO) unnecessary censorship on an adult frequented website.
I could argue its as pointless as your reply?
?
Refers to this thread BTW:

Personally I can't possibly, see what justification there could be, for bragging about very poor ( or Worse) driving standards.
Not something I could be proud of. I value my ability to control a car.
Cheers fozzie.

Oh yes, I forgot, accidents only happen to people when its 'their' driving thats at fault.
If the comments re drug use were considered 'inappropriate' then surely a simple amendment to that post would have surficed?
Although I agree with Fozzies closing comments on the thread, I don't think it should have been closed. It wasn't getting particularly
heated and didn't refer to any member of this forum. I've seen far more heated debates on drink driving topics..............

This website is primarily for those who are building cars.......seeking help with their builds, and a bit of chat....well actually a lot of chat.
It is NOT an 'adult only' forum........
It is also used very frequently by schools and colleges.........
You (loggyboy and mr wibble) clearly have little knowledge of guidelines and legalities involved in running a responsible forum.
As said..there was no problem with the topic, even though rather tasteless/pointless, it was the reference to an illegal
dare I say it, crime .... that was the issue.
You would do well to remember that any post on this site is 'making an announcement to the world.'
Anyone can see and read them.
I/we do not close threads lightly, thought and discussion usually precedes......and for those that have participated in the closed
thread it will not always be a popular decision.
ChrisW (site owner) and I both had the same view to close the thread.
Fozzie.......Admin
it would of been nice to talk about this in private, however you haven't given me any choice and i'll have to reply here.
I think if u had thought about a legal and responsibly guided forum you would of deleted the offending remarks, and not done as u have now, which is
draw attention to them instead.
as for if it was a bit tasteless, there were a few laughs in that thread aswell, and as for pointless, next time someone says nice weather today, will
u just ignore them or pass the time of day?
and if u want to talk about crimes, go and look at the thread marked how fast did u drive on a public highway?!
as i have made clear elsewhere, my annoucement about my brothers poor judgement which i DIDN'T know about when i got in the car.
Had it been a comment about drink driving I don't think you would of done the same.

yeah and i was nice and polite and would of at least responded to you had the tables been turned.
sigh. enough point scoring fozzie i've clearly rattled you, so they all did 130 on track did they, not if you read the posts...
never mind mate, i just think you could of handled it better, i think i could of asked a better question in my post, and maybe been a bit more
sensitive to peoples concerns.

sorry cant resist this, so breaking the speed limit is a crime, so is illegal drug use. there both a crime, but your saying drugs are worse? so i guy can smoke a spliff and mind his own business at home not harming anyone but, someone can drive at dangerously high speed at its "ok"?
so speeding is "ok" as long as there are no drugs involved.
i think thats terribly hippocritical.
whats really wound me up, is that i post about someone elses mistake, and i somehow have to defend his actions, especially as the post i made explaining i don't condone his actions in the slightest has been deleted!
i think fozzie, and i understand u give ur free time, and its a difficult job to do, that you have a personal grudge against drug use whatever that is, and i agree it can be a terrible terrible thing, but you don't seem to be applying the same standards accross the forum and THAT is what i'm pi**ed with.
mr speaker, please ask the honourable members to stop with the choclates and answer the question.

oh come on, so if i'd said, my brother might of seen mr bronson before we got in the car, you would of let it slide? people use caveats like
"on a private road" all the time and we both know its b*llo*. i even stated i think we were doing 80 before we crashed, which u didn't
object to, it was the drugs reference that got you all excited and trigger happy
this website is great, but it does ultimately promote the use of speed, much like top gear, and speeding is illegal.
i guess the ultimate punishment for my brothers excesses was his crash, why this isn't lesson enough i dont understand...
Right decided you can keep you coffee, Terry Pratchet and a bottle of black sheep rigwhelter as i am on the 11pm bottle feed of the new addition to
the clan.
Fozzie get yourself sorted the forum would likley 'self implode' if you didnt 'bring us back from the edge now and again'

Tell me if this sounds like a stupid story?
"me and my brother went out for thrash while he was coked out his head, nearly wiped out another driver, pretty cool huh?"
That is how your original post came over.
Nobody cares what your brother chooses to do in the privacy of his own home it was the bit where he decided to play russian roulette with innocent peoples lives which is out of order,and you condoned those actions by getting in a car with him. By your own admission "bro had been hitting the charlie all week in his new motor and was driving like a loon" doesn't exactly sound as if you were an unsuspecting passenger.
If you didn't want anybodys thoughts on your/ your brother lifestyles then it was stupid to post a story on a public forum.
By the way I didn't pass any judgement on either of you in your original thread, merely pointed out that after taking some pretty poor decisions it didn't make either of you look too clever to boast about it later.

Thanks for that Blake....
That second thread though, still flummoxes me with the relevance to the point in question that the site condones speeding.....
oh well!
As I said, why not just remove the offending text rather than lock the whole thread?
Fozzie himself said, the subject matter is ok......
And to clairfy, I have moderated on a couple of forums, and understand the difficulties faced, however, I also beleive the lightest touch commands the
most respect.

Tut tut, she not he
I wonder how many pages this one will make?
Must stop watching this one, I might miss a bargain somewhere
Why thank you kind sirs.....
Scootz .... sex change?.....nah .....
To cut long story very short ......
Last May I had to have a lump (growing in) cut out from my arm.......it was done by a wide margin excision (eliptical).
Now if I put my arm in a certain position you could sit a golf ball in it and tee-off...... All the nasties were 'self contained'
and the 'wide margin' histology was good.
My sister also had one but on the other arm, so she thought she had better go and get it checked....hers sadly turned out to be an aggressive soft
tissue sarcoma. She has just finished her radiotherapy.
With her bad news, I decided I better get the 'biggie' that I had kept quiet about, checked over and as I had in the meantime changed
GP's, I had a bit more confidence. I saw the consultant on Christmas eve, and had the op in the middle of Feb.
It was in the words of the surgeon very big, I did see it in a jar (size of a satsuma) and he said that it was only 1/4 of the original size, as he
had 'broken' it. He told me that he was convinced it was one thing, and it turned out not to be.....He sent it off to histology. Many
stitches later....and now a few weeks on.....the pain is getting less frequent but the bruising is still pretty bad.
The good news for me is that I haven't heard anything back from histology yet, so I am assuming that this one was again another 'self
contained' one with NFA.
I think because it was very big, it has upset my muscles in that area, hence the pain.....but every day is a bit better....
Blimey Fozz! 
Here's to a complete 'get better' for you both
Ay caramba... so what were you doing putting the kettle on earlier in the thread!? Surely you should have been sitting with your feet up whilst on of
us did the necessary!
Hope you get back to full fighting fitness soon!
Fozzie - knew you'd had an op, didn't realise it was that big. More best wishes and hope your recovery is as speedy as possible from me.
Scootz - can i buy the hob nobs when you sell them for a half price in a few days time?
Bloody hell Fozzie, that sounds painful! Pleased that you're on the mend!!!!
Fozzie,
having spent lots of time on much MUCH worse moderated forums, I just wanted to say "thanks" this place is amazingly well run.
oh, and having just read you latest post.
I also want to say
"EWW"
Only kidding, get well soon!
[Edited on 14/3/11 by Dangle_kt]
Awww Thanks guys xx....
I am so much better now.......Since my op, I have not missed
a day on the forum, I just haven't written much (until now ; ).....
Scootzie .... RaceRetro was my first day out....t'was quite painful,
and so tired when I got back, I didn't do a write up...sorry
But........I did upload the pics to my archive.
Might sound strange...but I do feel more comfy standing up......
Anyway.............every day is a bit better.....
Cheers for the update fozzie. not sure all that typing is good phisio though.
fingers crossed for continued improvment ( to your siss as well ) and that the tests keep coming backnegative.
Atb Agriv8 ( just about to have my first cuppa ) !! no chocolate bikkie though.
Listen folk's I've just got in from a long night shift and am just playing catch-up. Is it too late for the tea & bickies while I slurp
on a long G&T before I go to bed. Oh I see some-one mentioned Jaffa Cakes, in that case anyone got some dairylea or primula spread to go on them.
YUMM YUMM .
Oh and I might have some popcorn somewhere.

All the best for a full and speedy (within the legal limit ) recovery.

Apologies for the Gender mix up!
On a further note, why hasnt the thread where everyone is blantantly advocating speeding not been locked? Surely lots of people claiming to have
driven at over twice the legal limit is just as bad as someone mentioning their stupid brother drug drove?

Not too much of th eunrestricted roads left on IoM these days, seems the speed limits are going further and further from the towns
Still, nice place to visit
I have to agree about the pointless thread about how fast have you driven. of which i doubt 20% had even achieved there written speed, hence me
stating i had done over 200mph
The bit i feel we are losing, is that this forum originly was set about for us self builders of the book built sportscar. and 99% of the
threads/comments were purely "build related questions"
But now the forum is filled up crap, mostly from twits who could not wire a plug, let alone build an Airfix model!
This place used to be the holy grail of all car related petrol heads, but has degenerated into mindless tittle tattle
Steve
as the mindless twat who started the afore mentioned thread, purely for the sake of sh*ts and giggles, can i ask we draw a line under this thread and
let it die please. i still think it was just a bit of fun, but i'm tired of people not understanding why it was started and assuming because i
didn't lace the thread with caveats about how i don't condone silly actions, its assumed i'm an idiot.
thanks.
Oooh! Instant ban for language like that...
