IIRC, Billege, when I first turned up here I wasted no time in dissing your ride in the motors section. You were none too appreciative of my comments, and with some justification as at that point I hadn't quite got my head around what this place is, and what it does. I wasn't banned for my rudeness, but I soon regretted such heedless slapdashery.
Opinions here are like people's cars. They're not up for criticism, as the barb inevitably sinks deep and ruins someone's day. It is incumbent upon us to try and lead by example; those opinions that run contrary to your own are but the framework, the shoddy relief that shows off your own searing wit and shining insight to best effect.
TFP is different. A lovefest, maybe, but it works -
e basta.
edited to say:
D'oh! It wasn't your car, Billege, but we did have a charming little contretemps on that thread anyway. Here's some quality ribbing for the enjoyment of all:

"I've been praying that castex would stop driving such a sucky car.
But a BMW wagon doesn't really suck, it blows.
It blows enough that there are high wind advisories when you come into town. That wagon would blow your hair dry, just so you can have the 80's "yuppie-do" you're soooo proud of. Blowing that much isn't usually a problem, but people in Texas are getting tired of the dust storms you're causing, and they're coming to kick your ass. In fact, if that car didn't blow as much as it does, it'd blow just a little more so we could use it to turn windmills. Intead your car can't even be really good at blowing, so we'll use it to keep the kids air beds inflated; if it can mangage that!"
ROFL!
That's the way to do it.
