I shouldn't welcome Travolta789, he posted a suspicious post earlier that I promptly deleted!

It wasn't exactly likely to be a genuine user with a name like that

cheers

to be honest I didn't see his post but I did delete one from sheila19624 .

She was commenting on the problems in the middle east , but she is an Israeli journalist and obviously and rightly so her post was biased to her views.

I have my own views on the problems out there as I am sure many of us do but with all due respect to our Israeli members and friends such as Shimon , this is not the place to discuss them

Its not a case of putting your head in the sand its a case of

a right time and a right place for such discussion

this forum is neither

Exactly...discussing politics on a car forum usually ends in tears!

Well, as Redline hasn't been around for a while I'll deputise:

A very warm welcome to a$tr@boy, Mr Egg Crate, 27.86 and SuperRetard.

p.s. Sorry about the spelling, a$tr@boy, but this is a family forum after all. lol

And I'm not quite sure what's going on in SuperRetard's avatar, but as he wants to drift a 300 he's clearly a well-adjusted sort. Welcome to the East Midland's Posse!

)

thanks MJ.

I have sent Sheila the folowing polite but to the point P.M.

I hope she understands and respects my comments which I believe to be the view of the forums membership.

Hi Sheila,

Please find below a copy of a post I made on the v3m forum which you have recently rejoined.

but I did delete one from sheila19624

Please respect our forum , it is not a political mouthpiece and any politically motivated posts will be deleted ,

this is a car club designed purely for advice and fun for its members.
best regards

Sounds fine, as you say polite but to the point, I'm not speaking for the others but you certainly expressed my view

Post by **SteveP** » 07 Aug 2006 12:13 am

I deleted the post - there's no place for talk over such issues on a car forum

Post by **foggyjames** » 07 Aug 2006 12:49 am

Question is....does Shiela post on lots of sites, or does she think we hold particular influence when it comes to matters of middle-eastern politics?!

cheers

well it do's seem to be a wierd site to Randomly post on ,

perhaps she has heard people (outside the forum of course ) refer to 300's as rusty old tanks and saw a possible link lol.

anyway enough of this speculation and lets get back to the cars .
