Spin-off posts from the 2018 RR Phantom Thread (on the role of Scott)

The world has gone absolutely crazy!! I've never known somebody show a complete lack of credibility, and yet have people hang on their every word. Madness.

LOL, you should come to South America more frequently Matt, and hear the populists goverments. You'll be aghast.

I'm in Santiago beginning of September. I'm sure they're preparing the welcome party already.

I don't want to keep going on about this, but I feel I have to keep repeating myself because I'm being challenged by you.

WE'VE heard you. Loudly & clearly. Numerous times. Thank you. Now, let's move on.

Also ... action triggers reaction. And I'm rather zealous to play devil's advocate.

It's all already been written (by you) ... black on white ... here, and in countless other threads & posts. Why a need to repeat yourself zillion times? Everybody knows SCOTT's modus operandi ... It's not going to change. So, either except it or ignore it. Just a friendly suggestion.

The world has gone absolutely crazy!! I've never known somebody show a complete lack of credibility, and yet have people hang on their every word. Madness.

The world has always been "crazy" ... Full of con artists, manipulators, liars, charlatans, fake healers, fake (spiritual) gurus, backstabbing bastards, murderers, rapists etc etc In what bubble do you live in? Politics is full of people you're describing ... And "business" world as well. It's part of core human nature. You just can't fight it. It's there. You should just try to avoid all of that ... eg. also by putting SCOTT on your ignore list. It would be best for everyone (here).

Politics is full of people you're describing

That must be The Truth Of The Day.

That must be The Truth Of The Day.

It is true, although it seems @EnI has taken the phrase "the World has gone crazy" a little too literally. It's just an expression of my incredulity over people still listening to Scott. Why he's brought rapists and murderers into it I do not know!

I thought I was supposed to be on YOUR ignore list? How's that working out for you?

I was only focussing on the politics part. One could rephrase your last sentence in this way: "It's just an expression of my incredulity over voters still listening to Politicians".

You still are ... Don't worry.

I'm just taking a privilege to read your blocked content in this particular & specific thread only. Such fun!

I don't think you're taking full advantage of the benefits offered to you via the "ignore list".

Yea, it sucks one can still see the user and his post, only the post is hidden. I'd love to see some functionality where the user just completely disappears when blocked.

Yeah, I'd like that too. Literally.

Pass by here and let's go out for some nice "meat"

But the steaks are high with meat in Bolivia?

I know there's a good Martinbo joke in there but unfortunately, my English is betraying me and I'm unable to get it.

If by any chance you're asking about the steak, they're really good and without any hesitation, the thing that has improved most during my lifetime. Our beef is extremely close to what Argentina and Brazil are breeding, and luckily, immensely cheaper.

I've to find a way to visit South Africa and Australia and taste some nice steaks in there.

Don't worry it's not that good. Bolivia - high altitude (in places). Going out for nice "meat" would suggest that the "stakes are high". Replace "stakes" with "steaks" and you get high steaks.
I was a couple of glasses of wine down by that stage.

Well, in Joburg you have accommodation pre-booked - any time!

No need. The steaks are superior in South America.

 

[ThroughandThrough]

Hmm...I've always been told Superior steaks come from Michigan's upper peninsula.

 

[martinbo]

^ HA HA - there's the winner!

 

[Gianclaudio]

Thanks Martin, that's so kind from you.

And now that you mention wine, I never had South African wine. At this moment, I hate south American wines, they all suck and turn worse by the day.
Another good reason to visit your beautiful country.

Questions:

1) The people who want to keep hearing from Scoot. Why? What is it this person can offer you when a month ago he said the 5 Series would be launched by the 9th July, and he was shown to be utterly clueless?

Personally, I see @SCOTT27 as a rumour-mill, I can accept his posts on that basis. I can also accept the bias because I'm not looking to SCOTT, or anyone else here, to tell me what I should think about something. For me it's no more or less cringe-worthy than any marketing or advertising.

I don't understand how you guys can accept being fooled over and over again, and still rise in defense of this user called scott, it amazes me. The desperation for information really is that extreme? that you even appreciate being fed hot shit right off the plate?

It's quite patronising if you're assuming that people that can parse Scott's info without feeling the need to complain about it, are happy being fed hot shit... it's simply a matter of perspective. I don't see him as the gospel of all BMW facts, so when the facts don't measure up, it doesn't offend me that much.
