Di Resta goes all Lewis Hamilton on us

I dont know how to read into that

 

really not sure about this one, i don't think they'd have touched if heidfeld hadn't gone wide and shown di resta the space

just another unfortunate racing incident which meant he lost out big time

 

Cheers miggins

 

Wow - I'm being ignored by people that have obnoxious views.

That's a relief.

It could be worse. I could be a female Scottish Lewis Hamilton fan. Then silly childish muggins would have to ignore me thrice over.

 

Sorry RI, not interested in any fights you want to pick with people and neither is anybody else, use the ignore list if you don't like other members posts, thats what it's there for, either that or gain a sense of humour.

 

Thanks for your advice.

How do I ignore the following insult aimed at me for having a viewpoint different from his?

Maybe you guys should have an option to ignore opinions different from yours.

Just a suggestion.

 

Easy, the Ignore function

 

How do you ignore something you have read?

 

yeah, use the ignore button, everyone else has, mainly because they were sick of you going on threads and trying to start an arguments. take my advice re your Hamilton poster, you'll feel better and less 'hormonal'

 

ect?

 

ect?

Was that meant to be a joke?

 

Electroconvulsive therapy, you ask a stupid question then I will give you a stupid answer.

 

You don't.
This is part of the learning experience which, by association, allows one to make a subsequent choice. Thus armed with this new information, one can project the likely behaviour associated with certain people; just as in real-life relationships, one chooses one's friends based upon one's interactive experience, and may make allowances for some but not others.

I know that you, RI, have the intelligence to see the solution.
The only problem is that it makes it difficult to detect a change in the personality one is avoiding; because unless we retain a self-imposed prejudice indefinitely, there must surely exist the possibility of change in another person - perhaps even as a reaction to our own actions. Hopefully of course, this will happen instead, since it makes everyone happier and life becomes a more enriching experience for us all.

You will have noticed that I am not 'ignoring' you. This is because I still believe you have something to add to this forum in a positive sense.

It is the nature of fora to find views which may differ from our own; and that these views may sometimes be expressed rather too strongly for our taste. But it should be obvious by now that reacting to it with similar vehemence is likely to inflame the already unreasonable person you have found yourself dealing with.

Surely the solution is to be the first to lay down your arms and demonstrate some tolerance?

There's an old saying which applies to everyone. It goes like this:
"It ain't what you say, it's the way that you say it"


Why not be the first to call a truce?
- It's amazing what respect it can generate in one's one time adversary…

 

I knew what you meant by ect

I just want to know if you meant it as a joke.

what exactly are the acceptable boundaries on this forum.

 

No I seriously suggested that you get ect so that you can forget a comment you read on a F1 forum.

 

ever the optimist Cosi, and it's your way of dealing with such an obvious CoGT which makes everyone on here like you and give credence to your opinions, I, however, can't deal with someone who comes on the forum and instantly starts insulting and antagonising everyone. But please, lets not let RI hijack yet another thread so it has to be closed, like he did with the bahrian one.

 

Well I think it is a very sick person that reacts to another by stating that they should be subjected to ect.

Do you know what ect entails?

You can check my profile and read all of my posts to articles over the last 3 months. You will see that I have contributed to various threads and discussions. I have never insulted anyone on this forum. I have disagreed with people.

Ah - perhaps thats the real problem. Under the caste system you employ here, only certain people with certain posting rights are allowed to disagree.

Perhaps someone can quote my posts that have caused offence.

 

I see you do not understand sarcasm.

I think I can speak for everyone on here when I say that nobody has a problem with other people disagreeing with them, in fact that is the main point of the forum, to discuss varied opinions, it would be a very boring forum if everyone agreed with each other. However I think that when you have a discussion with others you have to treat their opinions as just as valid as your own and do not act aggressively or insult other because they do not conform to your own views but instead enter into a discussion and not an argument with them.

 

RI: you have every right to post here, just as I hope I have.

There is no pecking order or preference, regardless of one's experience within the forum. In a sense, it is a bit like the 'street' or animalistic survival: a natural order tends to emerge, and it is usually easier if one is not perceived as being at odds with others.

But I think this is important: unlike the street, all we have to go upon is what we read of each other's words.

I repeat: it's not what one is trying to say.
One may well have very good points, but if they are presented in such a way as to be seen as antagonistic, they are likely to incite a reaction which makes for ill-feeling. And of course the spiral down the whirlpool continues until we rise above it.

 

mind you don't hurt your head when you bang it into that brick wall Cosi.

Mif, he undertands sarcasm well enough, he's just one of those people that wants to start an argument over anything at all, it's all he's done since he arrived, he has nothing to say about F1 at all, just wants to cause friction which is why so many have put him on their ignore list. I think he's Dr what, Bruce or Aveli from 606.
