The Rabbit Hole

On the Grand Tour Christmas episode, Hamster took delivery of a Mustang off a container ship. It is the first time that Mustang will be sold here, right hand drive. He proceeded to give the Mustang a guided tour of England, starting in London, driving very slowly and quietly past the Cenotaph and other sites. He got stalked by JC in a Focus.

Anyhow, the Mustang and Focus ended up at the Eboladrome, in the capable hands of their resident racing driver, an American knucklehead who thinks everything and everyone is communist and all cars are rubbish if they aren't American. Of course the Mustang is the greatest car in the world! Reminds you of anyone? Nah, can't say it does.

Well, in a nutshell the Mustang gets whupped by everything including the Focus. So where does that 5 litre V8 go? BMW M2, M3, M4, M5 all thrash it. 3 litres, straight 6 hahaha.

I think I let myself get hoodwinked a while back.

{quote} Hello Achille and welcome! No I wouldn't say that most are from the UK here, but it seems like this certain thread has a lot of Brits; maybe it's because we like winding each other up and keep coming back for more . Sorry, I can't answer your question because I don't have a clue, but I'm sure someone else maybe able to.
Thank You Jen, appreciate the welcoming gesture. The story I am referring to is the latest Obama action to refuse to veto a UN resolution last week that Israeli settlements in the west bank and Jerusalem that deemed it a violation of international law. Many are seeing it as a last attempt by Obama to cause harm to Israel, something that has created much tension among the rank and file.


Also I was reading through some of the older posts on this thread, and if you are still looking for that car I think I can help you. Send me a message and I will get you in touch with the right person who can make it happen.

Thanks for the offer, but one is under negotiation at the moment. Looks like it may be a fun New Year for me.

Does anybody know who I can write to about COC breaches? It seems I got a whole bunch of comments deleted and I don't know why. Please advise! Thank you!

Ahh, CoC breaches are a badge of honour! Welcome to the club! You get them for telling the truth. If you tell the truth a bit too much, you get banned. We lost ThunderHeart because he did just that.

You could try writing to Twee at the contact button down the bottom.

Who is Thunderheart? That name keeps popping up today. This poster on another thread who goes by the name of "Sickoscam" called me by that name and I have no idea what he is referring to. He seems a little crazy if you want to know the truth.

I had a whole bunch of breaches and I have no idea why, I really didn't say that much. Anyway I will write Twee? Is that correct?

Thanks for responding.

Welcome Jedi9. SoS has a little problem with the English language and rarely makes sense, even to himself. He needs a responsible adult to check his diatribe before posting.

Be careful with the truth in here, it can lead to a CoC breach, as most right mind people in here can attest to. There is more than a spattering of liberal, Socialist, EU loving pinks in these parts. Be on your guard at all times but enjoy yourself as well

I know this sounds paranoid but some on here go around and if they see something they do not like they dogpile the comment with complaints with their mates and get you a COC (this is what happened to use today thats why we got the COC so late after we originally posted) eventually they will get you kicked from here. the best way of dealing with it is to get a red flag next your name as they are less likely to kick you then. I want into more detail of this on posts 1,421 & 1,425 the far left is so tolerance to different opinions so we are in good hands

Thank You Devauxt for the welcome mat. I haven't posted much here, I did have a recent exchange with a guy named DONFF, as I asked him a fairly straight forward question, and he then gave me this long book version of some sort of explanation about Humanity. I simply told him that his views were not rooted in reality and that the topic was not trading related. I was sorry I had asked. Today has been a first for a lot of things, and pretty interesting. Why does this site have so many crazies? I am a bit overwhelmed at the moment from the many different interactions I have had so far. Any way you people seem decent, I hope I am safe here. I mainly like to focus on trading topics and other things of interest, but politics? Doesn't seem to be my cup of Tea, judging from the hysteria I have seen so far, probably a subject to avoid altogether as the wounds are still fresh to some. I wish you a good and Happy New Year, as everybody else here.

My question to you is, because I am still trying to figure out some of the nuances of this site, the COC breaches are enacted by the moderators of this site or by individuals who can flag someone? The reason I ask is because Sickofscam's comments weren't flagged but everybody elses were. So is it a fair assumption that he may have been behind it? Edit: Upon further look, I guess some of his were flagged too, so I was wrong in that assumption. But what gives?

This place is like a little bolthole . We go out, throw shit, then retreat here... only joking. But you have to learn there is a certain way to throw shit, to stay under the radar. You can't call a spade a spade. TH did get riled easily and he got picked on; he retaliated then would get hit. He was treated harshly. I think the ultimate thing was that he said there were Muslims celebrating 9/11 which was actually fact. There were news articles on it. I subsequently posted a video showing proof (around post 1318), but funny thing is that my post just disappeared. I didn't get banned for it (obviously), but he did.

on here people report you too the moderator and if the moderator decide to he will give you a COC and if it keeps happening you get your membership revoked. as jen101 said their is a very clear biased on here thunderheart may have had his membership revoked for comments related to 9/11 which were base in reality but are not nice to hear about but a trader named gatorinla on a thread named (the swamp) posted this on page 377 post 7537 (I decided to leave this out from fear of getting my membership revoked LOL) which I think is much more offensive and not based in reality I report it and was banned from commenting for one month it's because he had a red flag I did not and thunderheart did not have a red flag they (the moderators) admit on here they are less likely to revoked your membership if you have lot's of buddies and subscriptions

You are indeed safe here. For the most part, we tend to be forthright in our opinions and love a decent debate. Some like to discuss trading, but that is not my bag. I trade and then in between trades, I debate. Have a great New Year

I think you'll find it has less to do with "truth" (which everybody sees differently, anyway), and more to do with what furthers (or jeopardizes) advertisers and click revenue. FF is first and foremost a commercial enterprise, and the terms and conditions ("focus on trading...... no bickering, nationalism, racism, politics, religion, personal or commercial agendas") that all members agree to, give the admins plenty of scope to censor however they see fit. What is thought to be profitable does not have to be fair, democratic, or even rational.

For better or worse, people play with fire, some folk will get their fingers burned. To state the obvious, there are plenty of forums where politics and current affairs may be discussed freely without risk of reprisals.

People want to have a say in how a business operates, they put their own stake money at risk. That's commercial modus operandi, and it's fair enough, at least in my view.

Anyway, happy new year, and a prosperous 2017, to all.
