Personally I'd be grateful for being warned off from buying a load of crap.

on the other hand if you were selling something you considered to be a good router and I trashed your thread by posting that it was a load of crap you probably wouldnt be best ammused

Probably not No. But if someone bought said item and it didn't meet their expectations, perhaps based on other input saying it's great, wouldn't they feel a tad peeved if someone piped up afterwards that they could of told you that it wasn't so good.
'Tis a fine line but something the seller must be prepared to accept, praise seldom gets criticism, criticism seldom praised. |

Yebbut we aren't going to judge anything by one recommendation. We'll listen to different voices and make up our own minds. The more the opinions the better we can judge. If someone feels strongly or angry abt something we want to hear what he/she says.

but perhaps not on a sales thread (IMO) - we've had this discussion several times before and i really cant be pineappled to have it again - do you really feel strongly or angryily abourt rayburns ? btw - I would have thought life was too short to get that het up about an oil burner

BSM - I really think that it's about time we had some forum rules about "For Sale" posts, which should include what posts can be made on a For Sale thread.
Cheers

Studders/BSM
Just picked up on this subject.
All I can say is a couple of weeks ago Roy and myself had a point of view on broken britain, and you both took an opposite view.
I thought the lines of discussion were factual and both parties put there points over...
I thought we were having a decent sort of debate?
I am also old enough to know, that you can't change other peoples views.
But under no circumstances were we becoming nasty to one another, it was a discussion which we decided to disagree upon in the end.
IMO, things posted in the OFF Topic section will become heated just by it's title, and as I have commented in the past some times the moderators could step in. |

Actually i think that was me and jake (rather than studders) , but you are right we had a decent debate without falling out because we four at least are all grown ups who know the difference between a debate and an argument.
