You've missed the point I am making. I don't care whether Stig is a good builder or not. I don't care if he is cheaper or more expensive. I don't even car about the generalizations he has made in his statements. "spend their life savings on a production line piece of crap" This is my choice! Do not undermine or question my decision. If I choose to complain about my decision, it is mine alone to complain about unless I ask for your opinion about my decision (which I didn't). My house is a house that designed with me and my lifestyle in mind (which is why we all buy them) that someone else makes. "you have been sucked in by clever marketing" Again I was sucked in by nothing. I oversee millions of dollars of building construction every day and I organise the "clever marketing" of these designs. I object to the fact that you think I was suckered in to an advertismnet. You do not know me. You do not understand me. How therefore can you make a judgement like that about me without all the information? You cant! I come on here and happily put forth my antagonistic comments but at least let people see what I look like and the name of my company. Then if they choose to use me or my services they know who I am straight away. You come here and give us a speech about "what annoys you" and dont even give us a look at your supposed credentials. Stig, the time has come. Put up or shut up! Tell us about your company. Re: What annoys Me 83Nov 11, 2007 4:42 pm Matt
that last reply totally lost me (but thats not difficult) You appear to be taking this rather personally This is an open forum is it not? A view was expressed and then debated by a number of individuals. You are a forum member like everyone else The point of his topic from my perspective was to generate debate. Could the initial post have been written more diplomatically - Absolutely In a latter post he/she indicated his comments were written to generate debate. I'd say his goal has been met regards DQQ [/quote] Never argue with an idiot!!!! They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience. Re: What annoys Me 84Nov 11, 2007 4:58 pm DQQ,
I think you are missing the point. People are taking his comments personally because that is how they are written. I don't give a rat's what stig says about other builders. As you say, it is an open forum and he is entitled to his opinion like anyone else. What I (and many others) are objecting to is the personal aspect of his comments in which he labels as as stupid and naive, "sucked in by clever marketing". I am not stupid and don't appreciate being portrayed as such due to my choice of builder. I also agree that bringing spelling into the debate is incredibly unhelpful. Let he who is without spelling/grammatical errors cast the first stone!!! Re: What annoys Me 85Nov 11, 2007 4:58 pm This forum is going downhill due to people taking everything that isn't positive as a personal attack. Re: What annoys Me 86Nov 11, 2007 5:05 pm HomeReview This forum is going downhill due to people taking everything that isn't positive as a personal attack. I agree…..at what point did thestig……actually say YOU (as in person) in particular…..it was a generalisation comment. For anyone…not anyone in particular! I personally get very peeved if my name has been mentioned with an attack of any sort….which I have had here before. So I retaliate on MY behave……I don’t see the issue here.

I think it's great to have a builder on the forum. We need more. Let's all listen to what each other have to say and be nice Cheers, Casa Demolition August 2009, Construction Started September 2009, Completed December 2010 Re: What annoys Me 88Nov 11, 2007 6:31 pm I’m pulling out my whacking stick here!!
Mod statice!!! Matt and I feel, this thread has got a little out of hand. We don’t want any ill feeling among our members. So I will get back to you as wether we shut this thread down. As I have said this is a public forum, but I feel it is getting a little too serious a discussion! Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: What annoys Me 89Nov 11, 2007 6:32 pm I think it has now finally come to a point where this thread is 100% pointless.
Did Stig begin by (amongst other points made) making comments that other users of this forum could have taken as insulting? Yes (whether he meant them to or not). Did those users choose to take offence to those remarks? Yes. Has he made much attempt to clarify the sentiment and purpose of those remarks as to try to suggest peoples' replies to what they believed were insulting remarks were unjustified? I for one don't think so, not at all. (If it had been me I would have certainly tried to clear it up, but then I know I wouldn't have made remarks like that purely to wind people up.) Is there any real point left to arguing this issue any further? I seriously doubt that also . Re: What annoys Me 90Nov 11, 2007 6:36 pm I agree with both Rod and Michelle.
I apologise for my inflamatory remark regarding The Stig's spelling. That was unjustified and uncalled for. I think this thread has run its course also. If you feel it should be reopened please email a moderator. |
