Just think: if we start a politically correct "don't say anything controversial" forum here, we may as well delete it altogether. |
People, people, let's relax a little. Both points of view are valid to be fair. There are a fair number of people who are happy with their cars on this forum, me being one of them, but then there are a fair number of people who are not happy with their cars, maybe that is you Civicfan. But both are entitled to put their points of view across.
However, what does happen is that when someone, say myself, comments that they have no problems with their car or they praise their car, someone who isn't happy responds rather negatively to the poster, and/or tries to negate the positive feedback.
In my humble view, there are obviously people who have real problems with their cars and a forum like this is a great place to air those views and frustration - in some cases to the relief of the wife
. But we cannot say that ALL Civic's are the same because that is not the experience of everyone who posts of the forum. We need to both support people who have problems or are seeking help with a problem and also be happy for those who don't have a problem. Both are valid posters - one is not better or worse than the other nor is the person who is happy making light of the problem the other person has.
