Don't think anybody can say that! But that argument is a pathetic attempt to justify something totally unacceptable on a international forum technical forum! What do people think of us for posting something like that?

Some join, post the highest possible number of questions per day, promise to keep their Defender till they're buried in it, buy shares in polish and then buy a boat and sod off ...

Going back to the original topic,,

I too have noticed the various "issues" that has been mention,,

While i have no problem having some "site sponsors" and their posts of valuable information for the befit of the Defender community

However

I do now seam to be ignoring more topic's where products are repeatedly, trying to be push down our throat, and then various "back slapping" posts follow by their supporting members in that click !! Wow betide anyone that happens to post up, and question why its better that other similar products on the market, and why is it so expensive, as always seams to be the case !!!

Are all Defender2 owners just interested in expensive "bling" !!! and the site sponsors see them as a soft touch

But then everyone to their own, all Defender and their owners are different, that's why we buy and modified them to our own needs California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I personally don't feel compelled to join in this thread or convocation what so ever as it seems to me to be more a b****ing & moaning / squabbling thread more than the con-current title "Freedom of speech"
This thread heading along in it's current direction I can also see soon being deleted due to being of a sensitive nature. Not only that the whole forum is really supposed to be Defender related (or similar) not for general chit chat and sniping at one another.

This is probably the reason why some of the most valuable long established forum members tend not to post even though their information is vital to the questions that some people ask. I myself early this year NEARLY made the decision to stop using the site completely due to a certain now removed forum member.

No doubt I hope the forum policing officer (K9F) will support me on this.  $W33T $0U7H3RN $UG4R

Well said Tim. It would be a sad state of affairs if every Defender looked the same with the same mods, remaps etc from the same suplliers, then to me it would be just another eurobox without any character. I am not.
