Dear all,
Is it just me, or does Z3MCoupe.com needlessly suffer from public spats and petty arguments, that frequently result in contributors' personal integrity and character being called into question ?
The vast majority of our members are respectful and tolerant, however I believe there is a small minority who over-react to posted comments and thoughts; the result often being an unpleasant public exchange of unfounded opinions and half-facts.
While debate is healthy and the live-blood of any active club, i fear that the personal and passive-aggressive nature of some recent postings are both off-putting and corrosive to the future good of this forum.
Would it not be better to encourage people to contribute to this forum, and not create a perception that they will be shot down in flames when expressing their thoughts (even in the heat of a debate or argument) ?
Please understand that is just my personal opinion, life will go on, and we can all love each other (in a manly way - just for Ben).
Right then, I'm off to drive my beloved ZMC on a sunny Saturday :-)
