It's me

Post by SV2 »

Bit ironic you tightened up the free and easygoing forum so quickly!

I was lurking as I am still narked by what happened on Autoshite. I'm torn between missing you lot and not really enjoying some of the stuff, I can't understand the vitriol.

Can I see the lentil cave again pretty please?

Give me a clue, I'm afraid I don't remember your username sorry.

As you no doubt saw, it got tightened up as the bunch of reprobates here wanted it doing.

I was going to sack the lot off, but AS was the only place I went on the web and even if it is "just a forum" and I ought to get a life, as I was often told over there, I miss it.

I really valued the interests knowledge opinions and varied expertise contain in that one little refuge of weirdos. These past weeks I have done things I wanted to post about and have thought several times "I bet someone on AS would know" :(

I am so sad it's been spoiled, especially the way it has. I am hoping that I can get some of what it was back here but I really am struggling with some of what's been said especially about Ian who is a personal friend. All I can say is I don't agree, I don't expect to change your minds but the nastiness doesn't make for enjoyable reading. Which is why I held off registering.

Welcome back Louise we have missed you :cry:

I dont have a problem with Ian as a person,ill admit I dont get the Invacar craze and often wish he would degrease stuff before putting it back together but as a person I dont have an issue with him and I dont think anybody wanted to see his marriage come to an end either :cry:

I think AS is too broken now sadly all we can do is be weirdos here and created our own little oasis of eccentricity akin to AS of old :roll:

But anyway yeh good to see you back :mrgreen:

Great to see you here!

The Ian thing is, as I understand it, not a completely personal thing (although having ignored me entirely when recognizing him and saying a polite hello at Cambridge Services a few years ago did colour him a tad poorly for me).

I think the hero-worship stuff from his own little corner of the web has just grated on a few people, who either are not looking for a hero, or just feel that kind of popularity clashes with the philosophy of the site. Wordy wordy...

I like a Viz analogy: it is like the real ale twats made the incongruous choice to settle into Sid the Sexist’s flat roofed local.

I am done with Invacars too. It is overload. He is caught up in that.

Quite a number of people just don’t seem to enjoy him, his delivery or his popularity. Go public and that is the risk I guess.

Anyway, hope that doesn’t spoil your time here. I have always enjoyed your contributions.
