Selling my rover

[mbev51]

I’ve taken a deposit on my 75, its as everyone says a reluctant decision. I’ve had it more than five years and enjoyed owning it, I have a mg tf to sort out as well as all the other things I need to do with my life.

I’m afraid I didn’t feel in tune with what seems to be a widespread pro Brexit view strongly expressed by many on here. That actually put me off owning a 75. The final straw came a while ago when I was verbally abused in a post by a well known Brexit supporter. I complained to the moderators about the choice use of language without any response.

I’m sorry to hear your selling up Michael, but a change is as good as a rest as they say.

With regard to being verbally abused by another member, please PM me the post in question from a while ago and I’ll have a look into it.

Brexit or no Brexit, this is a car club and not a political debating chamber as I’ve tried to reiterate many times over.

Michael.---Not spoken to you before but sorry to read that the treatment on here by other members has lead you to get rid of your car.

Verbal abuse and harassment is never to be tolerated. However don't let other folk start to rule your actions in life. Just ignore them and do what you want to do.

The forum has had its share of these kinds of folk but gradually their numbers have been whittled down mainly by shooting themselves in the foot.---

So don't leave just because of them. Don't let them win.

Political discussions always lead to difference of opinion, some of which can often become heated due to the passion some people have for the subject.
However, as Colvert said, you shouldn't feel uncomfortable being here because of other people's actions.
Let Reebs do what he can for you, and consider your options afterwards - you've only taken a deposit on your 75, you can easily return it.

Thanks for the replies. I’m not interested in reviewing old posts, I’ve a thick skin. I’m not upset at all, just moving on.

Sorry I couldn't help, but if folk think they are really being bullied by other members and not just a squabble due to differences of opinion they should inform the team who will look in to it, as that's not acceptable behavior on these boards.

pro Brexit people make you feel like selling your British car, on what grounds?

I am sorry you felt abused, this sort of thing should not go on even if people have a difference of opinion.

Now I am am confused, your original post stated. I do not agree with verbal abuse of any kind but selling your car because of what was said on a forum??

Should have stopped after the first paragraph. Many have 'signed off' on a sour note, just stop posting eh? If you don't like to see the inane stuff that gets posted, then don't even sign on! Personally I think the forum makes a good read, gives you an insight into human behaviour.
