Is a self-contradictory or a logically improper conclusion and is classed as a dangerous paradox. Sadly we are not all born equal and that’s a fact and it is the way of the world, on the other hand it empowers some to become more equal, the trick is not to accept the absurdity that some are more equal than others and so enabling some to become more equal than each and every one.

I didn't understand it either
This is what I meant: A proclamation by the pigs who control the government in the novel Animal Farm, by George Orwell. The sentence is a comment on the hypocrisy of governments that proclaim the absolute equality of their citizens but give power and privileges to a small elite. (Not my explanation - borrowed from Google) |

Well that's not quite true [re. underlined comment]. There are numerous other Land Rover based forums out there with various methods of funding and policies. I should know as I have been, and continue to be involved with the running of one or two of them over quite a few years. Sometimes comments from people can cause ripples that can extend much wider than the forum concerned and invade personal and commercial interests. Very often a moderator / admin will be damned if they do and damned if they don't. the FACT is any kind of moderating action will invariably result in ripples on the surface that particular forums pond and often result in umpteen meta discussions where people feel they have to chip in with an opinion [me included]. Real life is short and the vast majority of people mean well but remember - the real / intended emotions behind the text can so easily be misconstrued. Steve.

Correct - but replace "Brendan" with any other member's name and the exact same applies. I have said time and again that criticism is fine. Being obnoxious is not. There is a difference. The reporting system is there for all to use - triangle top right of every post. It doesn't exist for just one person. And I deal with reports equally. This was something I was supposed to be sorting out with Nitram17 in private and could have been resolved by now. Instead it gets dragged into the public arena, 4 pages so far, as part of the chip on your shoulder about Brendan. Aren't you better than all of this? 1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top 2015 D90 XS SW |

I've been warned before by Martin and all I can say is he seems to be very reasonable. good job Martin. (I can't comment on the particulars of this incidence but from what I've seen personally Martin seems very fair and reasonable) ....going back to the thread that I got warned on....... |

I've also had a warning from Martin after another member wound me up and have to say that he dealt with it in totally the correct manner and I feel that the rules do indeed apply to all.

I recommend everyone try pressure washing an old timber deck, it really is one of the most satisfying 'chores' I've ever had to do!! James

You like to live dangerously then. That’s am immediate ban for you…
Personally it all boils down to this Martin is the boss his rules are his rules adhere and no one has to worry. Simples as Sergei and Aleksandr would say. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at.. http://www.youtube.com/user/conwy1 |

If you've nothing good to say, don't say it at all is my motto.
That theory can get you out of many a situation believe you me. |

There's no need to LOCK anything,...that way we all suffer.
What needs to be remembered is that a forum is not like speaking face to face,...things can come across not quite the way you intended, your comment becomes misconstrued, someone doesn't like it, then it's "tit for tat" etc, & so it goes on. So, the secret is, make sure that your comments are NOT too aggressive, and could not be construed as such. If ya wanna "have a go", send a pm. IMHO Martin does a SUPERB job running this site, and let me tell you, He is FAR more tolerant, than other "precious" mods I've come across. So Martin, all the way from Aussie, thanks for the best Defender Forum on the planet. Pickles. NB: Ain't telling anyone "how to suck eggs". Being from Aussie, I don't know any of you guys personally,...just giving my opinion. |
