Well, meaning exactly what I said in my original post. That 'some' members seem to let the forum down by being a tad too aggressive and overly sarcastic towards newer members. It's only my opinion, and the whole point of forums is to get a diverse range of opinions, so I expect a lot of seasoned members to disagree here...........but I am saying it as I see it.
Yes I do see some new people coming straight on, and their first ever post is 'What tyres.....' etc etc, which is frustrating, and they obviously haven't searched at all. But its quite common to see sarcastic and pointless comments to reasonable questions, by senior members. It just makes the forum seem very 'clicky' and makes newer people look stupid. I have never owned a LR until now, but I know my way around most vehicles, after doing everything from repairing bulldozers to building custom choppers for a well known custom bike builder in the states. But I have needed to come on here for technical advice, which I have very gratefully received, but I feel that I have had to tread very carefully for fear of being made to look a ****.
Thats basically what I mean.......and now I wouldn't be at all suprised if some posts.........'....Well take your piece of **** chopper and cruise on back to the good old U S of A you ****ing gay biker ****....' Get my drift?
