I was thinking of starting an Ovaltine fan club!

We 70s Beetle owners must stick together.

Oops another Ovaltine post.

You can own a 1970s Beetle and still be interested in the older ones! I enjoy reading all the stories and the information on the early cars is great.
It just seemed to me (as a newcomer) that there was hostility to some people who didnt hold the same views as the majority. Forums should welcome healthy debate.

You can own a 70s Beetle and still be interested in the older ones, absolutely without a doubt. Many on here own 70s Beetles as well as earlier ones.

There are also people who are only interested in very early VWs and would like to see it be pre '57 - or some even only split Beetles!!

The pre '67 was always a point to differentiate this site from others, nothing elitist intended. Upright headlights was a significant change in the design of the Beetle, nearly every part on the car went through some kind of change - so it seemed as good a cut off point as any...

The fact that you see hostility towards people who don't hold the same view is worrying, I agree that forums should welcome healthy debate...

I probably did not explain myself very well.

I feel no hostility aimed at me personally or to the fact that i have a 70s car. I had noticed a degree of Ovaltine bashing though.

Still, now that he is banned the problem is solved.

It happens, Rudolf. Rattletrap has taken one hell of a bashing here over the past year or so, which you'd not realise being a newer member.

This morning when I saw Ovaltine had been banned I thought good riddance. But now after seeing your post I'm now not so sure – a difference of opinion is what its all about otherwise why a discussion forum. Ovaltine wavered on that fine line though which no one should cross.:o

Ovaltine did more than waver the line, he crossed over then parked his breakfast on it!

Healthy debate is a part of forums but its not everything. Forums also offer help or learning depending on what side of experience you sit, they offer a place of common interest, information on what is going on, inspiration, encouragement, feedback, all kinds of good stuff.

There are plenty of VWs I don't like, but I don't join up to their forum and tell them how crap they are or why they should do things the way I think they should be done.

Ovaltine is gone, time to move on.

From what I saw Ovaltine discussed nothing...he never gave an opinion, he gave his answer.

You can't discuss something with someone who's sure they always have the answer. That's my answer...:oops: I mean my opinion.
