I would not show you such disrespect, so don't you do it to me.
As for the rest: you're talking out your @rse, and you'll regret it, later.

You have to earn respect.

That's the first argument that's always given children as an excuse for being disrespectful. What are you, five years old?
When modifying someone else's post, make it very clear where his words end and yours begin.
Show some respect -- you have to earn the right to be disrespectful.

You'll regret having talked like an uninformed idiot. When everyone else is enjoying the Hell out of the show, your words will come back to haunt you.

May ask if you will admit to being an ill informed idiot if Sue Perkins fails on Top Gear?
or is it only those that disagree with you are ill informed idiots?

I don't see how my being an "ill-informed idiot" and her potential failure could in any way be connected.
Her success or failure are absolutely bugger all to do with me, or with any knowledge or information I possess.
Don't bother to try to explain, though. I've had enough of people telling me what I'm thinking, what I've said, and what I'm allowed to say.
I can't help but wonder how many people here have proudly declared "It'll always be Marathon to me!"

So basically you have an opinion and if anyone disagrees then they are an ill informed idiot, you do seem to expect to tell others what to think yet get very shirty when it is applied to yourself

If someone says "I don't know anything about [name], but she's crap", then I classify that person as an ill-informed idiot, yes.
I don't know a single person, in the entire world, who would not apply that classification, because the statement "I don't know anything about [name], but she's crap" is entirely synonymous with "I am an ill-informed idiot!"
I do not tell others what to think; I express my opinions, and I am unlikely to change my opinions just because someone else holds differing opinions. I will instead argue my corner unless convinced otherwise.
That's called discussion. It is the raison d'être of Internet forums. There are probably books that explain how to do it.
Saying things like "I don't know anything about [name], but she's crap" is not discussion; it is the behaviour of an ill-informed idiot.
Telling members of CP that they are not allowed to talk (and then, curiously, agreeing with the point made) is completely unacceptable behaviour, however -- and that's not just my opinion.

no but you were applying that exact same criteria when the subject was Clarkson, which at least seems hypocritical

Exactly the same criteria as what?
When talking about Clarkson, I was expressing my informed opinion. I have watched the show, have seen him do other things, and have read his work (and his ghastly opinions on how society should revolve around him).
Note that saying "I have watched the show, have seen him do other things, and have read his work (and his ghastly opinions on how society should revolve around him), and he's crap" is several worlds away from saying "I don't know anything about [name], but she's crap".
One is an informed opinion, the other is an ill-informed opinion, which would only be stated in earnestness by someone with idiotic tendencies.

So ... what is it about this "Top Gear" ? Are we really talking about a program about cars ? Is THIS making such a fuss ?!? 
I honestly did not know that there were still people watching programs about cars.

Hey, there are still people who watch programs about grown men running around in fields chasing balls, so shows about smelly lumps of metal and plastic are actually the lesser of two evils.

I went flying last sunday and for the first time I had somebody along who made a little video clip of my takeoff and even managed to keep the heli in the picture for a time.
It's the T-Rex 450, not the bigger T-Rex 550 yet, but the little guy really flies well. the only odd thing is that 'meow' sound at every right turn, but never at a left turn.
My guess is that the rudder limits need to be readjusted and the noise comes from the tail rotor when the pitch slider touches some moving part.
Here is the short video: We do it in the air![^]
Sorry, no crash!
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.
"I don't know, extraterrestrial?"
"You mean like from space?"
"No, from Canada."
If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

Nice flight, and nice heli! Congrats!
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Thanks. The weather will be better this weekend and we may take along a better camera and a tripod this time. Meanwhile I have adjusted he rudder limits and hopefully this weird sound is now gone.

Happy Birthday, Cornelius! I wish you low internal resistance and steady direct current flow for years to come!

Yeah. At my age internal resistance to movement becomes a problem! Thanks!

Congratulations. What kind of cake are we going to have?
