We were all getting a long well, harnes section was going well? What happened, seems many, including myself, hardly post here anymore? 

 

It was inevitable

You know what to do

Just pointing out the last line of our welcome message though

"If you want to generally cause trouble, not respect others, and jeopardise the good spirit that we are trying to build, then probably better to give it a miss, as the site is probably not for you."

You (as in everyone :) ) can get there again, just remember that you all love harness, respect others views and debate them with facts if you disagree, and take the personal attacks out of it.   No matter where you locate, it will never work unless you do that, so do that.

Not worth it when you get called names and WORSE if you have a different view unless you are very thick skinned. A bit of moderating, of which there is none, would sort a few out otherwise this site is doomed.

:)  how interesting it all is.   Forums like RC used to be moderated,  but then everyone complained, and more freedom of speech was allowed and it was relied upon that folk would behave and be respectful but whilst it can happen for a while, everything soon reverts back to norm and if people are annoyed they lash out, reasoning becomes a little fuzzy.. so in the old days when you read a post.. a lot of the swear words had been taken out before you saw it :) and comments that could have seen a few posters a few thousand out of pocket for defamation..  I know.. because I did it way back when, I was a moderator on RC much to the disdain of Mr Kennett who is not my greatest fan but I don't care  ..   and those that could handle it.. hung around, those that couldn't.. didn't but funnily enough soon came back with a moderated view of posting.. still strong.. but just a few less swear words  :)   in fact I think it caused some to study the english language for words that were rebellious but acceptable  :)

We have had 500 posts over 60 threads on Thoroughbred in the 5 weeks we have been going, no threads closed down.

2 mildly personally abusive posts, both were asked to leave it out, and the posts ditched, no more trouble.

Harness is there, with a few posts, but just make sure you read the last line of the Welcome message, because that is what we are sticking to, and you are all living proof of what can happen if we don't

Newmarket, threads are not closed down on this harness section much at all!

Bit Of A Yarn leaves the other site for dead, but recently we have had the Darksiders come over and just here to stir, because they can get away with it!

As I say there are a few that  never start blogs but just like to have the regular posters on, which is a clear sign that they are out to sabotage this site!

Ranga, JJ/ Farty, Cross Codes are all out to destroy this site!

We should just ignore every one of their posts and they will piss off I am sure!

Wow Hesi.. the guy that wanted to create a new forum after RC because it didn't work out for you  .. and what.. this didn't work out either after months of posts running RC into the ground you've discovered forum heaven and though shall be wonderful to everyone ? .. so now it's three ..lucky for some and another forum and again using this forum to try to create another ? 

I'm disappointed and I don't think Doug deserves this.

Well then, I think I translated that haha ... people have to come back at you with facts as to why your opinion is crap, if they can't, then I guess you can continue to think what you want :)

But if they do, you can't then just call them all the names under the sun as if it supports your argument.

No Doug doesn't deserve it. But unfortunately cancer spreads. The human condition pervades everything. We are all capable of it , it's just a matter of choice, and giving our worst side it's head as some do on here.

Hesi may think he will avoid it but it will arrive, eventually,  and eat away at the foundations.

Rees, the main of wisdom :)  I agree.   Must have been all those years pondering in your love caravan  :)

No , my Christian background. Kinda gives an insight into human behaviour.

I have to temper mine as I can fall into the same trap, and have at times stepped over the boundary. 

Love my Harness and most of the time these sights which give one a chance to indulge the passion.?

PS. Sold the caravan long ago.

Doing up a Desoto at the moment.

Yes I know... I remember when you were selling it.

Desoto very nice...  I recently did up a jaguar sovereign sport, beautiful shape and chrome .. I'm a sucker for european cars, especially old ones.
