May I suggest that there be a more positive way of treating people? Such as knocking off the adhominem attacks, schoolyard name calling, and slurs against ethnicities and citizenship.
If we're upset about "unfair" attacks on CARS, um, how about attacks on PEOPLE?
There's a mostly clear line between good-natured teasing and clique-y bullying. And it's exceptionally ungallant to stab at people via the internet, when it would be unacceptable to spew such personal invective face to face.

I'm with HoTWire on this (despite having posted in some of those threads..... *looks sheepishly at the floor*). RR is very unique in it's openmindedness & needs to stay that way. I have yet to find anther old car forum that has such a broad cross-section of genres, all treated equally. We have hotrodders, hot-hatch boys, classic guys, everything & everyone gets on. Do we really want to lose that?? Mocking etc as per Barryboys does us no favours with regards to how outsiders would see us & will probably put off many potential members & contributors, in particular those who are trying to avoid such issues on other forums.

Must admit to posting - *sorry* I do spend a lot of time here as the positive answers and remarks help me overcome my lack of knowledge in certain areas and get out into the garage with ideas I can use. I don't really do many other forums - time and not being 'specialised' for each one leaves me feeling like a leper ( my skin ocndition helps that too ) This place is THE most positive of forums I've found, I'm sure the many different guys ( and gals ;D ) posting here are intelligent enough not to let it slip into the realms of Barry boys et al....... Have faith HW - we shall not go over the the dark side PEACE Y'ALL
