I don't know why it's called common sense. It's clearly not very common.

From what I can see, you either want to learn or you don't - if that inquisitive desire has been educated / dulled / beaten out of someone then what you're left with is a call centre script in a body.

I accept that there are some things either too complex or too boring for me to learn ( tax laws for example) but I will always have a go before admitting defeat.

Funny thing is though, a lot of new M-Bs may be dressed up to look like the Rude Mercs of a the gravel-yard car dealer lot. Except the quality of the components is obviously OEM.

As I've said before, it's the Mattel Hot Wheels design studio influence ...

I like that!

Since their current collectors' diecasts are of dubious quality for their price point, very apt!

Excusing this because the poster is being helpful is symptomatic of the "no criticism" culture people have been raised in.
If you want examples, I refer you to the main forum.

I posted this:
Possibly not,but I did not lower it either.At the very least I tried to keep within forum rules and post in readable English,something that is not seen as important now apparently.
Nor did I spam up the main forum with interminable photos of my new "rims", "aggressive" camber and needy posts.
It sometimes seems that Max Power has resurrected as S2ki and if you do not think that this is a decline in standards we will have to agree to differ..

How is that difficult to read?
