It's now getting hijacked by people who don't own Morgans and never will, with loads of aggressive and negative languaged postings, it's getting abused with postings that are to many, on the very edge of either legality or taste, but what I really, REALLY miss is humour.
Well if I am one of the causes of your angst, then I apologise. I come on the Morgan Forum precisely because its such a friendly and non combattive place, but as a fully qualified grumpy old git, I know that I sometimes ( go on, lots of times) become a bit downbeat, I shall try to mend my ways.

Everyone loves a Morgan. Even me, unless it's broken again.

Mmm - has it changed that much?
As an addict I am not so sure it has!
However I do tend to ignore those posts which are clearly just from the Frustrated or Hormonal or just plain Angry!!
I do miss the Friday Jokes - they seem to have diminished.
I guess I Cod try to post a funny or two - but Plaicely I do not have a Whiting enough Rudd.

I like TM and feel it does a good job for the Morgan Community. I have learned a bit about the Newer Morgans. Throttle Bodies, Suspension, and engine modification. But one must constantly be on guard about "THE NEGATIVES"! My glass is half full not half empty. I try to keep it that way.

I still enjoy TM and as a firm believer in free speech it is difficult to know where to draw the (fishing?) line. I just try not to read anything offensive - and TM is mild compared to our local rag`s opinions page which I think is composed of letters by a Mr. G. Khan & A. T. Hun judging by their rather extreme opinions. Who was the philosopher who said " I do not agree with what you say, but will fight to the death for your right to say it." Rousseau perhaps?
Now to sing the TM anthem "Whale kipper whelk home in the eels` hides......" (courtesy of ISIRTA).
Hope to see some of you at the NEC next weekend - Hall1 stand 325.Chat me up and you can have one of our freebies and enter a competition for a day`s hire of a M3W. I hope that has cheered you up.

Maybe dinner party rules should apply, steer clear of politics and religion and only one fish course each evening
Anyway, I'll mullet over.

It's always going to be a bit of a curates egg - at least we have not been visited by the nutters that have in the past a few of which were truly off the wall and rude with it, one of whom was before your time on here Steve.
I just ignore anything that has no interest for me or is damning the company, I haven't blocked anyone yet but it's an option that's nice to have.
