Please keep posting, you know it makes sense.....but
you don't have to get involved, just ignore what you don't like and go on to the next topic but we do have Moderators and it's their task to steady things down when contributions start to cross Forum boundaries - and it is sometimes a very difficult call for them to make.
You are however right to point out that there are some rather nasty minded, bigotted and offensive people who get a say and let's face it, devalue our Club and its' objectives for the Rover and MG cars we all love and appreciate.
So I'm for more power to our Mods. - use your powers, if these unpleasent contributors step out of line or persist in their ways JUST CHUCK THEM OUT!

I for one don't think anyone should walk on eggshells lest it offend or upset. That would be so wrong but it's the downright insulting stuff that hurts and you can't ignore it as you can't un-read it. So you get into an interesting thread and out of the blue it turns nasty and one thinks, here we go again.

You cannot insulate a business from justifiable criticism of its actions towards other businesses, on the spurious grounds that those with a stake in the at fault business or who are employed by it, would suffer financial loss!

For example those Companies - their employees and investors- on the receiving end of the appalling actions of RBS’s SME unit would no doubt beg to differ.

I would rather not post any more in this thread Clive, but apology accepted.

My comments in the "banking" thread were in relation to complaints that the bank's car park was full, cashier chose to count in the cash and was slow, etc. But, my plea above was more general and not related to one specific thread. I have made similar pleas on the forum in the past.

I would suggest that anyone interested in the above comments joins us on the thread.
