600047	2007-10-11 07:55:00	Come on. Massive exaggeration. This forum is pleasant. You want to see childishness and serious flaming go look at most others. The occasional disagreement or smart comments are not bad at all here. And anyway, you don't have to read a thread if its not to your liking. What a load of crap this thread is, obviously the guy has nothing better to do and try to get everyone to back his view cause he's not happy with it. If you dont likes what ya read then click the button on your mouse and move on. It's really disappointing having to wade through abusive and irrelevant posts every time I come to the forum, just to get to the meaningful questions and answers. .	Renmoo (66)
600048	2007-10-11 08:12:00	. And your point?	Cicero (40)
600049	2007-10-11 08:37:00	How PressF1 compares to other forums is irrelevant - the fact is, it is one of the best on the internet, and even then it's been going downhill and fast. It's about as useful as saying that the military coup in Fiji is better than other reigimes such as Myanmar, which means that we shouldn't care, because everything is fine and dandy. Sure that's a fact of life, but as far as I'm concerned sitting back and doing nothing won't do anything to help the situation. So, (for example), Helen Clark goes and wastes my taxpayer dollars on pledge cards at election time. Do I just sit back and say "oh - that's just how NZ operates now", or do I actually do something about it with the way I vote at the next election? I'm not the sort of person who just sits back and accepts that things have to be bad, and let idiots run the world (both online and offline) - I prefer to do something about it. In this case, I'm sharing my views so people can think about them. It is just my opinion - not an absolute truth - so obviously some people agree with, and some don't.	somebody (208)

600051	2007-10-11 08:43:00	And your point? Was to ask people to re-read the very first post.	Renmoo (66)
600052	2007-10-11 08:45:00	Maybe you need to take a break, That post is ridicules. May I suggest you... [edit] (No point in playing table tennis against the wall)	Renmoo (66)
600053	2007-10-11 08:56:00	Maybe you need to take a break, That post is ridicules . yeah, like most of this thread . I don't see a deterioration of PF1, and the few sparks are mostly entertaining . The only pain is :groan: WMG but I take pleasure knowing that his attempt at trying to convince us how good macs are actually has the opposite effect on most of us . :lol: OK, now I'm going to do something really useful instead of wasting time on this thread . Off to read a brilliant article that Metla :D would probably like: . tnr . com/docprint . mhtml?i=20071008&s=pinker100807" target="_blank">www . tnr . com	Morpheus1 (186)
600054	2007-10-11 09:03:00	May I suggest you... [edit] (No point in playing table tennis against the wall) You can suggest anything you like, and lets hope age and life experience brings wisdom to go along with your intelligence.	Metla (12)
