Hmmmm...Isn't that what the R Gruppe says when challenged...."You don't get it.".......How ironic....they don't get it.......

Oh they just love to hate me, if it were not for me they wouldn't have a reason to exist....... I am U might say the unifying force.

Actually, tabs has been quite entertaining around here. So, I for one won't be ordering any "tabs be gone".

Truth be told, I'd rather read one of tabs posts, than see another one about, "How I painted my garage floor".

I wouldn't go spraying that stuff around. I thinks Tabs is a breath of fresh air.

I must admit, that while at first, tabs rubbed me the wrong way, I have warmed up to his personality and sense of humor.

I may not always agree with tabs, and he may stress his issues with R-Gruppe too often, but still his humor is enjoyable.

Never thought you'd hear me say that, did ya, tabs?

The Island...

In the beginning of this thread, the content was a bit "lite". But, it must be raining again up there in the NW, because you seem to have lost your "sense-of-humor".

In-my-MOST- humblest and sincere tone, "I'm really sorry" I, and my collegue have upset you...

have a really happy day tomorrow, "island911"..???

Well now THAT's presumptuous.
Perhaps you've just lost me again. (and I don't "get it" ) . . .but I suppose that's where it started. . .. .A funny was posted, at tabs expense, and I wedged in a funny at R-Gruppes expense. with "you get tabs or you just don't"

So really, which "whole concept" do you mean?
As I see it, the only ones in question (relating to "getting it") are R-Gruppe and Tabs. Are you saying "but if you "get it..." the whole concept (what tabs says) is REALLY funny !!!!" (?) Certainly tabs comes up with some witty and humorous content . . though, quite alot of it is serious. (not "REALLY funny")

I dunno, it seem you guys can dish it out the jabs, but. . .

hmmm. . not really a jab. . .that tabs-be-gone picture smacks of effort, all to diss a guy.
Geez I hope I don't get on your guys bad side. I might get upset.
To that end, In-my-MOST- humblest and sincere tone, "I'm really sorry" I, and my collegue have upset you and your gruppe

I'm with you on this one Island. I'm starting to wonder if Curtissaa has a sense of humor. I started off liking the whole R-Gruppe idea, but if he is an example of the typical R-Gruppe member, then I doubt that I would want to hang around with them. Don't get me wrong, I also find Tabs to be a PITA most of the time, especially his postings on the Early S board and his harassment of Paul over there, but I also find some of the R-Gruppe guys to be overly arrogant.

Lets not wind that toy again, Kurt. What is that you and "I " don't understand in the definition of humblest and sincere ??

Arrogance is not "acceptable" in the Rgruppe. :

My thoughts too. If this is considered a bit of "lite" humor, what do you do when you want to be really heavy handed? If you think Tabs is a knob, well, fine...but the photo above raises more questions about the maker than it does about Tabs.

It seems to me that this stuff finds a much more receptive audience among the handful of users on the Early S Boards than it does in the much larger Pelican universe...

I don't "get it" either, but I'm a 944 owner: it must be a 911 thing. Wait a second: it's NOT a 911 thing, but an R-Gruppe thing.

Geez, since when did owning a Porsche become such a clicky-thing?

Dear Kurt V

In this post I am going to side step the R Gruppe issue, you guys are doing a wonderfull job of telling it like it is.....Gawd knows I've tried talking to them but they just don't seem to get the message that they have an attitude problem. In other words their biggest problem is THEY DON'T LISTEN.

Anyway Kurt I've tried MANY times to make PEACE with PWD. Go and look through the archives on this Board and the Registry, you can find the effort was made. But to NO AVAIL.

Paul and I had a major blow out about my comment, about him going by the way of Stockton with the assualt weapon he was planning on bringing to the Cambria R Gruppe conclave a couple of years back. He and the R Gruppe took it as MY threatening them, after a year I explained my side of the issue to Paul...and the best I could get outa Paul is, "whatever!"

Also you shoulda seen the vindictivness in Pauls face when he found he could press the ignore button on me....

So if you guys all think that Paul is this perfect gentleman.....guess again............He's putting on an act, cause underneath he's a narrow minded, arrogant, and inflexible old man. Thats what comes through when he's dealing with me, and I have a tendency to be able to strip away facades.

tabs, r-gruppe, pwd . . . .Let it go!
While there may be some Jerry Springer fans out there, for the most part, people here are sick of hearing the same old defensive postures.

tabs, don't worry about others thinking that Paul is this perfect gentleman. THe whole "cat fight" nature of that squabble brought eveyone involved to about the same level. (IMO)

Moving on . . .

Don't get me wrong Tabby, while I think some of the R-Gruppe guys are arrogant, I still think you are an ass. I also think Paul, PWD72, is a stand up guy.
