    Holier than thou...

    Why is that some people regardless of actual knowledge, feel the need to tell others of their perceived failings? There have been a few threads on KB of late that have been of such a nature. Sure, if someone has proven knowledge of a topic i.e. Shaun Harris has raced at IOTT and it'd be a fair bet he has particular knowledge of the subject. But there are a lot of people who either have just enough knowledge to be dangerous or who just feel the need to correct the 'mistakes' of those they feel superior to whether they actually have the knowledge, experience or ability to actually to judge.

    No, it's not just KB (Horror of horror's KB ISN'T the centre of the universe!!) it's the population in general. I'll take advice from those people who I know have the knowledge or people who know me well enough to offer advice.

    To all the others out there who think THEY no what's best for me and anyone else - PULL YOUR FUCKING HEADS IN!!

    Burn them!
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Simple, some people don't have lives of any interest so they make up for it by getting stuck into other peoples.

    Only you know what best for you..I say that in general terms.
    I am staggered by some of the advice asked about on here, but those who ask should accept the advice given, stupid or otherwise.
    They obviously dont have the skill to work it out themselves.
    When advice is given without promting...thats fuckin' rude, thats someone telling you how they feel and what they perceive as being correct, and in most case's, I dont care.

    Its when someone complains about the advice breaking their bike, getting them hurt etc.. that pisses me off.

    Its upto the person seeking advice to determine whether its good advice, and get a 2nd opinion.

    What makes the thread starter qualified to voice that opinion?

    Something of an expert on human behaviour?, trained and qualified?

    No?

    Then Sir, be prepared to be burned at the stake.


    All we need now is an expert on stakes and burning, Bound to be at least a dozen resident experts on KB'r.

    Who are you to say that burning at the stake is the appropriate punishment?!

    Stoning is clearly the proper course of action!

    Experience makes me qualified to voice an opinion and make the query. So you can fuck off too.

    You guys should stop arguing about this !
    A girlfriend once asked " Why is it you seem to prefer to race, than spend time with me ?"
    The answer was simple ! "I'll prolly get bored with racing too, once i've nailed it !"

    Bowls can wait !

    ah ha, a claim with nothing to back it up.

    Every fool claims "experience" when their credentials are queried.

    (Should have seen how far that argument got me with the OSH inspector, It wasn't pretty.....muhahahahahaha)

    Anyway, I'm wondering if we would have to nail him to the stake?, I'm thinking ropes would burn through and he would be able to walk away.

    Sure he would be on fire but......



    Not a fan of stoning, they run and then you have to chase them, unless we tied him to something....like a stake, and if we done that we could just set him on fire.



    AND THEN STONE HIM.

    Brilliant.

    if KB relied on educated, well informed, and balanced comments.

    There would have been no more than a half dozen replies. ever.
