Why should you feel irked? Surely that would be down to YOUR perception of how people see you rather than actually what is being refered to?
I mean, it's well known that a fair dew of us don't exactley like Tim.
Some of this is his own fault, and some of it is not.
Let me expand:
A few years back now, my dad (the most gentlemanly of gentlemen ever) said that his BX N/A auto was flat out at 86MPH and he felt it was dangerous for overtaking.
Ken then jumps down his throat and says, and I quote verbatim, "fuck me, how fast do you want to go".
However, Tim declares he fitted (or got someone who knows how to use a spanner to fit) a devil pipe on his valver and he took it on the motorway and stopped accelerating at 115mph, and again I quote "it just wanted to go and go!"
And no-one says a word. Not one fucking word. Other than the usual round of "gosh isn;t it shiny" and "glad your enjoying it" and shit..
Another fine example..
Tim's Xantia... He openly admitted, on a PUBLIC forum which boasts an ex copper amongst it's members that the only way his Xantia passed an MOT was because ANOTHER CAR was emssions tested.
Not only is he implicating himself by stating publicly that he knew his MoT was fraudulant, he could have dropped the tester right in the shit. Fraud is a criminal offence.
And again, no-one says a thing.
The number plates on his GT are illegal, it gets mentioned and we're the bad guys for having a go at precious Tim..
All smacks of people going out of their way to protect him. He has a pop at Vanny on FB, I call him on it, but he doesn't have the bollocks to reply, just delete me instead. Which I'm not fussed about in the slightest as I dont actually like him but ya know.. it aint so easy to get rid of people on BXC is it?!
He must be bitterly disappointed at the lack of adminor mods on BXC now, since he used to go running to them every five minuted everytime soemone upset him on there, and he can't say he didn't, since I know for a fact he did.
Of course this will no doubt have him in tears, not that he'll know it's here, because he doesn't read BXP, do you Tim!?
Equally, he'll throw jibes about "the forum police" at people, we know who we are! Now, I could call that bullying, and go ring Jim or Jon and complain that the big bad nasty Leech is making fun of me, and my feelings are hurt, and they must do something at once, but of course I wouldn't since A: I can fight my own battles courtesay of a pair of bollocks and a spine, and B: anything he says doesn't make me feel insecure in the beliefs of what I say.
I'd fucking hate to think of this place becoming anything like BXC, this place thrives for a reason, which is beautifully described above.
Long may that continue.

Don't knock the CCC Phil, (although I concur with your comment), as It directed me on to here.
