Let's try this again. My last thread on the topic of improving the mood in the Kioti forums took a wrong turn, I think.
Let me make this one a little shorter.
Here's what I'm asking of all Kioti forum participants (and all forum participants, though this is the "problem" forum as I called it):
1) Don't come to this forum just to see if you can get a rise out of Kioti owners.
2) Just forget about "market share" discussions. It has been proven time and time again that this topic in particular can't be discussed with intelligence and civility. There is no way to verify the facts about market share, but only take the word of somebody else. Your word against mine, and since neither can be proven, we fight about it.
3) If you have a strong opinion either for or against Kioti, try to tone it down a bit and make sure you have your facts straight.
4) Remember that a Kioti is the right tractor for some people, but not everybody. There are various criteria used for choosing a brand, and it isn't always a cut and dry case of which tractor is heavier, which is cheaper, where it was built, or how many units per year were sold.
5) If you don't own a Kioti, and aren't considering buying one, then why are you in the Kioti forum(s)? Yes, I know that there is great info in every topic area here, but if you're NOT a Kioti buyer/owner and you make the majority of your posts in the Kioti forums, then something is off.
If everybody can keep those points in mind, I think this forum can be as well behaved as all the others.
I think it's time for everybody to agree to put any past disagreements behind them, and participate here with newfound courtesy for all members.
