What ho all
What about a contentious idea?
Might it be possible, and possibly necessary, that those of us interested in building specials, and "Ulster" specials, have a separate sub forum on this site?
This could mean that those building such and interested in such could banter to their hearts content about the things that sometimes have a tendency, so it appears, to antagonise some of the "purists"?
I have heard a couple of people email me off-line saying that they found certain aspects of the forum intimidating when discussing specials and "Ulster" specials, since some on here frown somewhat, and also that they felt that they were discouraged from posting or simply afraid to do so?
If there was a separate sub forum, then those not interested in its content would not need to read posts if they weren't interested, and wouldn't feel the need perhaps to comment....who knows?
Those interested specifically in specials and "Ulster" specials could then discuss all kinds of options, share photos, talk about different engines etc without feeling the breath of any disapproving purists down their necks?
There does seem sometimes to be....a them...and us type of situation so it seems.
