Two topic forum

Originally posted by DiscoBall Pretty much seems a feature of internet forums generally.  In fact also seems quite prevalent in real life in clubs of all types - couple of popular contentious themes of conversation and occasional forays elsewhere. I suspect you could actually copy posts from old threads to a new topic on a similar theme and nobody would actually notice...

Originally posted by H2 Hi - been hanging around this forum a bit recently. Most subjects seem to end up with the same people arguing about one of two topics: 1. Handicap vs Class racing. 2. PY / GL conspiracy theory Should I just get used to it and look elsewhere or is that the limit of whats discussed?

You're forgetting the 'Death of the Laser class' threads. We've not had one of them for a couple of weeks.

H2 and Ian.r, it isn't that you posts aren't read, they are. It is just that on threads about PY conspiracy theories, views are so entrenched that no one will change his (in this case, rarely her) mind on anything, so few posts are directly answered except to have a good rant.

Even fairly recently, there have been some other interesting threads, but it is only the ones where people disagree that there is enough to comment on to get decent thread length.

Normally, though, there is good, if odd and hard to spot, humour in the threads. Been missing from the recent PY thread, though.

Originally posted by H2 Originally posted by ian.r.mcdonald those of us trying to get involved are either ignored or rubbished which is why people look and dont post It is all a little cliquey...the same crowd responding to the same people and if your not one of them they just ignore your posts as if you are not worth engaging with. The weird thing though is that they all seem to dislike each other, perhaps its some kind of S&M thing where they get a kick by coming on here and beating each other up?! I was wondering if it was just me that was invisible

I have been to the Lotus factory as a supplier, I told that my Dad had worked with Colin at British Aluminium. The Lotus engineer said " Colin who?" says it all!
