Shall we just forget the whole thing?

George being a mod doesn't mean he cannot have an opinion in my view

You're completely right, it doesn't mean he cannot state his opinion. However, new users seeing a mod make comments like that is pretty harmful to the forum IMO, especially on a small forum like this where new regular-posting users are rare. It isn't appropriate.

Im new here but I don't think it harmful, just honest

Hi

It may be honest! fair enough, but why does everything here have to be so negative?

Why can persons with doubts not help to think of potentially workable ideas to the problems rather than just bluntly saying - your doing it all wrong, its all going to be pointless, your going offend the original authors and misguide new members and be be a complete wate of time etc.

Probably wasting my breath, just one last attempt to be positive.

I've been a member of Mensa since I was 12 having passed the test on 3 separate occasions. I scored 137 on the Stanford-Binet scale putting me in the 99th centile I believe. I guess that means my views carry more weight than anyone else's George?

Seriously though, we'll carry on with the tests as they are and record the results accurately. If Dip's recipe using Taz's base comes out top, what is the problem? That's a great result for the forum and a building block to build on.

There seems to be a massive divide here at the moment and if we aren't careful we will either lose some of the most active members, or there will be another breakaway curry board. Neither option is good for CR0 so come on everyone, if you like curry look for the positives and lets stop the nitpicking can we? If you don't have anything positive to say, maybe try not saying anything at all.

Only those that scored less than you, Chris

Dya know something?  I couldn't give a witches tit how brainy or not particular members are. 

It doesn't bother me that other members opinions differ from my own, in fact, I enjoy hearing things from a different slant.

I'm not arsed that some members may disagree with the group test results, that's what they are all about.  I take it ThaiExpat that you tried all of the recipes that we did in the bhaji test?  If so, brilliant, that's the whole point of these FUN tests, to encourage members to find their own personal favourites.

What does piss me off, is that we don't seem to be able to push this forum forward without some kind of conflict!

I take it that we all enjoy participating on cr0?  So why can't we do it in an adult way?

Please, lets proof read our responses and assess how they may be perceived, unless you want to deliberately offend someone or cause a row!

Chris,

Unless you already have done so, publish the recipes for testing and lets just crack on, eh?

I think that what I am about Razor, is that I have been a member of this forum for four years, and ok I don't post much but increasingly this forum is falling into some kind of battlefield between factions and it seems to be loosing some of it's attraction, I don't fall on one side or the other, when I say that I mean just because someone has posted 2000 plus times doesn't make them an expert in bir curry though it does steer new members in their direction and put them on some kind of pedestal on this forum, my post was aimed at both camps because sooner or later you will piss most members off, has anyone looked at how many past members some of them mods on this site have dissapeared lately, or maybe they have decided to pay for the other site, you know if I didn't know better I would say that the other site owners are masquerading on here and causing most of the crap that goes on weekly to undermine it.
