Default Just Something I've noticed...

Just thought I'd mention something I've noticed recently in the Forums.
It seems to be popping up in a few threads here and there lately. It is the little 'comments' and 'remarks' against other people cars and what they prefer etc.
For example, someone might say why one type of drivetrain is terrible, but someone else gets offended and rebuts by insulting their type of drive. This quickly escalates with everyone defending themselves by being derogotary against the other parties with everyone leaving questioning themselves, having acheived nothing and making themselves look a bit dumb.
This isn't against anyone personally, so don't think this is my sly way of talking to a particualr person, just a trend I'd rather not see continue.

This is supposed to be FordFoums, Ford being the key word. So let's not act like young rascal brother's and sister's and accept that a person like's their car just as much as you love yours. Just because it's different doesn't make it worse, but it's just that, different. Accept it. I'm sure no one like to have their decisions and reasonings questioned and cars insulted in a condescending manner. And I don't want to come here as a 3rd party and see my type of car put down, I love my car, it it doesn't feel nice.

So, can we all appreciate the fact that everyone is here to celebrate Fords, for the great cars that they are. And not come here and dismiss others because they drive a 'FoulCan' or have a 'Front drive P.o.s'.

Let's all get along and play nice.
