How about an option for ''I actually own a scabby mk3 but like to drop by the mk6 secton to sh!t stir and show everyone how thick I am'' choice? :lipsrsealed:

Anyone that it applies to.

Well, there was an idiotic post if ever I read one.

Thank you. My speciality.
It started off as a lightly humourous(sp) post but now you've gotten into the usual state of pointless internet rage that often affects the forum and the reason why many of us don't post much up. It all gets a bit tedious, so once and for all; I don't do serious, life's too short. Many mk5 and mk6 owners will know exactly what I mean and the comments were there for their digestion.
I'm sure you'll come back with a razor sharp comment but as for me, I'm going back on topic. :kiss:

Why is it that the ASs always has to ruin a thread? I am very wrong.
Daz has started an interesting poll and has requested some suggestions.
He is a new member and should be welcomed, supported and respected.

Why is it that the ASs always has to ruin a thread?
Yes, a ruined thread, because I was the one that put the degrogatory comment. :rolleyes: If you cared to read half of my posts in this section you would see that I am generally helping technical issues and giving options, but then who am I if I don't own a mk6 eh? :lipsrsealed: Oh yes, and mod of the tdi section, must be because I'm an arse. :rolleyes:

Lol. Internet rage, yes, I am definitely raging right now. :laugh:
I really don't need to "come back" with a comment now after your post do I? :lipsrsealed:
Daz - Sorry to go off topic, but people who are too pussy to say what they mean wind me up. My original thread was a suggestion if you wanted a general (more accurate) concensus of the entire forum

AS:
In my defence, I was using a Blackberry, was in bed writhing in pain and made a vital error for which I apologise to you unreservedly. :embarassed:
You may flog me on another thread and I'll take it lying down, like a man and without so much as a wimper.
Sorry! :lipsrsealed:
PM'd you.

Okay, you've compelled me to go off topic-ish again.
You did come back with a comment and I've hightlighted it.
Who's being pussy-ish? That was just as indirect a remark as my little attempt at humour that started you off. Are you referring to me? You, a mod having an equally indirect assault on a little humour that I put into a post? Or have I got hold of the wrong end of the stick like you did to my post? If you thought my post was aimed at you being a non mk6 owner having posted earlier in the thread then I apologise if that was the perception you got, it was far, far from the case and I can see the angle you were taking whilst I also understood the angle the OP was aiming at. My little remark was aimed at those one or two members who appear in this section once or twice a week when they're bored and stir up the sh!te then vanish again for a while. I think they think all mk6 owners are either in debt up to the eyeballs with car loans or absolutely loaded. For some members that is the case but many of the rest of us are just normal hard working people that happen to be in a position to buy an overpriced shopping car after spending many years working their arses off to be in that position. I work a hell of a lot of hours to afford my little luxury on 4 wheels. No loans and no company assistance and a job that is way way off being a higher rate tax payer.
Daz Auto and other members on here who want to post threads such as this which are aimed primarily at users of this particular section of the forum only, I would suggest always put ''mk6 owners / section users'' in the title of the thread. Everyone is very welcome in this section (apart from pussy me it seems) but it is nice to see a general concensus of this section rather than the whole forum which is a large community, this I'm assuming is what the OP was after.
Now there have been many incidents that have grated me on this forum with pointless bickering that often puts me off posting, and now I've inadvertantly dropped myself into it and have annoyed myself and probably everyone else, so I've said my bit, possibly been called a pussy by a moderator :grin: and therefore am going to go into self imposed exile for a bit (again), those that use it, see you on the other forum that came about last time a current model Golf section self imploded on here..... :smiley:

To which I add, Amen, Praise be the Lord Jesus.
Good Morning!
-
Morning chaps, sorry I missed all this. I thing I'll split this up with an appropriate title, please hit the report to mod if you have a problem with bating in future btw I don't see any problems here just z little off topic.
AS your always welcome and your opinions very valid
Exonian don't leave or cease posting mate, this section is not exploding and is I hope finally starting to take shape with people talking about their cars or options or mods not shouting at each other about gearboxes or engines etc :-) We the Mk6's do seem to be the but of idiots here from time to time but I do tend to ignore them unless it's going to wind up MK6 owners against each other.
ASKER thank you for trying to keep the mood light.

Mate, don't feel put off from posting, ignore alot of the rubbish, rise above it, its either jelousy or there atempt at sarcasm :smiley:

I know the type your pointing the finger at btw

Thank you both.
I have looked through other forums and none is as warm and as exciting as this one IMO. Frankly, the quality of the posts tend to be a bit on the lukewarm side and hence do not invigorate.
What we have here are a range of wonderful characterful and knowledgeable members with a good sense of humour. We are serious about issues, supportive to our fellow members but also temper this with a sense of humour which is not vindictive. It might be warped at times, but we know and adhere to reasonable limits.
Maybe, I seem a bit protective of this forum, but one does with the things one loves. :smiley:

Consider this a misunderstanding between us both then. Under the carpet and all that.
I will explain my reasoning behind my discomfort to the post just so it is clear.
I tend to browse this part of the forum, because maybe, I will be purchasing a mk6, I am yet to decide.
I will post in threads that I feel I can add some value to, and like everyone else I browse other topics to see what's going on in terms of peoples ownership experience, technical problems and solutions etc.
Exonian - Obviously you haven't been here often enough for me to notice your posting from what you have said about leaving again. Thus I cannot tell that you are mickey taking or not. I do not see any reason for you to stop posting if you and I can show that it was a misunderstanding between us.
I honestly don't care how you have brought your cars, you have them, that's grand, and I can't be bothered to nit pick over such little things like how you got them when I'm more interested in reading about them and helping out with problems (or trying). The same with nitty little remarks, if you're going to say something, be blunt. There is not a lot that annoys me more than someone with a little backhanded comment, hence I bit, but like I mentioned I am not interested in this, I prefer to read and solve if i can.
However, ultimately, whatever. I won't lose sleep over it and I doubt you will either, so a misunderstanding it is.
Asker - Apology accepted, like I stated above I'm not interested in offending people. However, a little background check never hurt before you claim something :wink:
Edit: Snoops in terms of myself and Jealousy and or sarcasm - You couldn't be more wrong. :smiley:

Blame that Blackblurry. I'm usually quite 'safe' in my postings and besides, I am an invalid. :sad:
I am going to ingest three chill-pills now. :grin:

Mr Slick, my hand of friendship is offered to you. And as we are now officially best mates can I marry your sister? :grin:
Quick last few words whilst I'm enjoying the dishonour of being moderated :grin:
Slick, I'm sure you didn't want to know the ins and outs of my financial situation but I thought I'd post up anyway for the benefit of the usual suspects who'll probably drop by this section before the weekend is out. And for those, I'll repeat: we're not all snobs in here, honest guvnors.
And I'll add to that to save Snoops a job, he wasn't accusing you personally of being sarcastic or jealous either, again like myself, his comments were aimed at the usual suspects who haunt this section spordaically.
We mk6 owners have taken so much abuse we now need to be handled with kid gloves. :cry:
And I haven't been that absent from the forum, just recently partly due to working silly hours and partly due to getting bored about reading the same old arguments and bickering (obviously you weren't involved in that but I'm sure you've read the threads), over 900 posts mostly in this section in under two years. I was quite surprised at how many (pointless, probably) posts I'd actually made.
Snoopy and Doc (and Asker :kiss:) Thanks. I didn't mean I wasn't going to read the forums, too much valuable info here for that. I just meant I'd be taking a back seat behind a privacy screen for a while until I had something useful to contribute.
In fact I was hoping you'd just delete all the crap we put into the other thread so feel free to delete this one as I'm not enjoying my limelight! Once it has all been read through, feel free to bin the whole thread, job done and I'm feeling the love. I'll now quickly edit the first post so it doesn't look so disjointed. :smiley:

Now stop being a bashful bride. The thread is brilliantly hilarious with excellent prose from all. It serves as a good warning to the sh!t stirrers to curb themselves. Mix and match is so much better than doom and gloom!
BTW, if you're into bigamy, you can marry my sister! :kiss:
-
Okay, I'll marry both your sisters. I'm going to do a quick google search to find a suitable religion I can subscribe to.
Hopefully one of your sisters will be fairly rich so a) my current wife will be slightly less jealous and b) I'll be able to afford a mk7 GTI in a few years time which will likely be similarly priced to a current model Bentley :grin:

Join Islam, and go for four wives. Why stop at an odd number? :grin:
