Keep all the borrocks...

Thus simultaneously offending those capable of transposing a couple of letters and all the Chinese members!  ;D ;D

No, absolute not :  it is not "negativity" at all but "constructive criticism"; they as different as chalk and cheese.  "I think the photo of your curry looks like dog's vomit" is pure negativity; "if I had been you, I would have tried to introduce additional warmth into the image so as to make it visually more attractive even if less real" is constructive criticism.

So what you're really saying here is, don't say anything or express an opinion if you can't either be 1/ Nice, 2/ offer constructive advice on how to improve something.

That would in effect rule out such comments such as: 'I made that base to spec as the recipe intended, but the dishes I made from it I didn't like and lacked something I can't pinpoint nor suggest how it might be improved.'

I think you can see how that wouldn't work, particularly for newer forum members, you want to stifle discussion and opinion, why?

Haha. I will let you have that one as it is not in the curry section.  perhaps I should have left it as bowlocks and similarly offended the odd eastern rower?

Spicey, can you really not see any difference between "I think the photo of your curry looks like dog's vomit" and 'I made that base to spec as the recipe intended, but the dishes I made from it I didn't like and lacked something I can't pinpoint nor suggest how it might be improved." ?  If so, this might help to explain some of our former disagreements on this forum.

Don't belittle me please, because otherwise you really will see me get angry and that hasn't yet happened on this forum. It's not a pretty sight.

The difference between us Phil, is that as far as I'm concerned you want to stifle debate, discussion and opinion into sanitised over-moderated sterility.

There's a world of difference between someone being bluntly rude and offering opinion without necessarily being able to offer constructive advice.

You seem to think if you criticize, you have to so constructively, I believe you can criticize without being constructive but without being rude. Therein lies the difference.

That's what discussion, debate and opinions are all about and that's the difference between us.

If you wish to show yourself up in public, you are of course free to do so.  Far from intimidating anybody, it will simply provide further evidence for those who would wish to see greater moderation on the forum.

Cautious there. I'm sure spiceyokooko meant it in a verbal way and far from physical violence.

He knows exactly what I meant Goncalo.

In Phil's eyes it's perfectly acceptable for him to belittle my opinions but not okay for me to realise what he's doing and get annoyed about it.

Notice how Phil's stopped discussing the issues and is now doing what he professes to dislike - ad hominem-ing the person.

Typical Phil irony and puerility.

No more from me on this topic, Goncalo :  once any debate degenerates into an exchange between just two participants, it needs to be rapidly brought to a close before others get p1ss@d @ff.  Spicey, please see signature in lieu of any further reply.
