robertandjean Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Despite the impression often given by reading some threads on here, of which we are sure we have all had enough of, recent pms we have recieved have convinced us that this is indeed a Freindly forum. So thanks to all who have thanked us for the advice we have been able to give on Aires and will continue to do so when we can. Would also like to thank contributors on here like Brian Kirkby and Mel B, and many others, who always manage to provide useful information and insights without ever resorting to insulting other posters. So let's keep the forum friendly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cattwg Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I agree, in the main this forum is friendly and helpful. I for one have benefited from information posted here. And I hope that information I have posted over the years has proved helpful to others. Cattwg :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigal Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 I have received a good deal of useful information from this forum and shall continue to sign in. I disregard the idiotic and sometimes insulting remarks made by some people and thank those already mentioned and others who have provided useful and helpful information for me in the past.

StuartO Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Nice to have a nice forum - and it's easy enough to ignore those who don't play nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashpark Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I completely concur with the OP, I have learned more about motorhomes and motorhoming from this forum than any other source. Obviously there are some long term, ahem, friendships that occasionally divert a topic, but the overwhelming tenor is one of helpfulness. You have my gratitude and long may the forum continue (and no, I'm not getting paid ;-) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggyd Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 nsigns - 2014-08-20 1:44 PM Have only ever been on here once before, some years ago, never again, got knock down by one idiot for, what I thought, was a useful comment! However, I still enjoy reading the threads, as I'm now looking for my first motorhome. It happens and Im sorry you let one idiot (as you said) ;-) put you off, we need to stay put and fight our corner (lol) too many decent people are leaving because they are fe d up with the mud slinging !! let it wash over you I do. There are so many good people on here that are only too willing to share their knowledge and experience with you, and good luck with finding your first motorhome.

Bojitoes Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Totally agree, the information exchanged on this forum is normally educational, helpful and interesting and many thanks to those previously named, and many others who go out of their way to help those not so knowledgeable- unfortunately I now expect the thread to be hijacked by one of the usual suspects bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Kirby Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Agreed R&J, nicely said, and thank you for those kind words. Most of what I have learnt (and so repeat :-)), I have learnt from others - some now sadly departed - on here. At its best it is a rich, and sometimes humbling, source of the most extraordinary, detailed, technical knowledge. No-one should buy a motorhome unless they've read the forum for at least a year! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisecontrol Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Yes - I too got bitten when I posted a comment about choosing a medium priced electric bike. The person who commented was unnecessarily rude. I've not bothered posting since - but like others I value the site as a veritable mine of information.

lennyhb Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 I still think it is one of the best forums most on here are friendly & helpful, always appears to come trumps with technical queries way better than other forums. There are a couple of obnoxious characters on here who jump down your throat if they don't agree with what you say I just don't respond to their posts anymore.

StuartO Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 It' sad when an individual pops up in a thread like this and sticks a finger up by indicating his intent to do it his way regardless. But the way in which his posts on this thread were simply ignored by everyone shows how to cope with people like that. Just ignore them. No matter how tempting it might be to respond to arrogance, offensiveness or stupidity with a rational correction, it will prove to be a waste of time. Just ignore aggressive or arrogant posts completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JudgeMental Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 What is real sad Stuart is you looking for injury and conflict where none exists..your a relative newcomer on here and know nothing regards previous histories. You dug me out in a totally over the top and unnessesirily manner on another thread, and I just ignored you, but now your at it again...... You seem to be appointing yourself as some sort of self inflicted moderatotor and seeing what's not there! lol. Get a life for pitys sake and man up, if your sensibilities so refined that you can't take the cut and thrust that makes this forum stand head and shoulders above the rest. You know what to do don't you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
