Interesting thoughts

Having said that, one has to say that the Patek forum for the last year or more since Imran has been Moderator has generally been a sea of calm. Yes, there will always be the occasional food fight, but as a general comment, I think the forum has changed v...
How bizarre...

why would anyone care what someone else's watch choices are. We certainly are living in US vs THEM times.

Great to see you still care about WatchProSite! Also I always loved your sense of humor! I think it would be better to "close" naughty members for 30 days than forum. Why all should suffer because of few ...sounds like communism to me . Cheers Bro D
Mike, great to โhearโ from you.

I had a really good laugh when I read your post. That comic relief came at the right time. ๐ I made my case and it was heard by the relevant people; case closed at my end. Itโs all good. I hope to โseeโ you again more often around here. Best, V.

Over a dozen years here I have noticed the heat of discussion generally rises with the prices of the watches; thus the confllcts are most often in the forums that deal with higher-end watches. It becomes much more an insult if I say your $50,000 watch is ...

"The more you pay for something, or the more you endure for it, the more you value it. Otherwise, you must live with the conclusion that you're an idiot". I wish I could attribute that quote, but I think it's spot on when it comes to what we all think of ...
Polarization

The occasional unpleasantness on the Patek forum here is nothing compared to what we saw on the Patek forum of that other well-known watch website, which calmed down only after virtually everyone was banned, as far as I can tell. Now there is no unpleasan...
Context.

I think any comments are allowed, itโs all about context. If someone ask โwhatโs your thoughts on 5711?โ I think anyone has all rights in the world to say โitโs a boring watchโ if he/she thinks so, thatโs freedom of speech. But if someone posts his/her ow...
Padj , you are indeed a wise old curmudgeon

I would like to second the fact that Miranda is doing a stirling job as moderator I think personal insults have no place here and should be given short shrift. However personal opinions about any watch can be given more latitude. Yes sometimes peoples fee...
