another open letter to OT

[legion]

I find all of this hippie kumbah-yah crap to be offensive.

I am just here to say stupid things and get the up-tights even up-tighter.

What a bunch of sissies you all are.

What, are we going to have a cry-in and get in touch with our feminine sides and talk about our feelings next?

Oh, and you're poopy-heads.

A web cam of you actually moderating would be cool ....................OK, actually quite boring. Forget what I said.

[Sapporo Guy]

Was that somebody off of craigslist ???

I swear I thought I saw a post related to guys not being what they wrote!

This just goes to show you that Nostatus isn't as retarded as he looks or sounds for that matter.

I have found PPOT to be unique.

It's mostly older car guys that are fairly mature.
I appreciate that 99% of the posts are respectful and thought provoking.

I have about 5 members in mind that 'don't get it'.

Do we really want every other post to contain:

"Ahhh-hahhh! pwn3d!!" With some goofy picture added to further 'burn' somebody?

I don't think we do. If you do, why not shuffle step over to 'tuner-land for teens'...where many are not even of age to drive and text-post from their classrooms instead of learning something.

I've found that sometimes is my problem. I post exactly what I would say to a person's face. Unfortunately, without the non verbal delivery and verbal inflection, it occassionally comes off badly. Okay - Sometimes I'm just plain rude. Fwiw - I'm that way in person too. That said, there isn't a man or woman on this forum that I wouldn't be happy to buy a drink should we meet.

So I should move on KT? I actually enjoy the mature vibe of this BBS. The other ones like 'tuner-land' frustrate me, because everyone posts crap about street racing and the like.

I resemble that remark!

This is where many go awry. When you see a stupid comment, do you retort with logic & reason? Of course not. Just like you have to fight fire with fire, you fight stupid with stupid. If you want to go stupid, I hope you brought yours, 'cause I've got mine!

I have been lurking on the Mazda3 forum recently trying to learn as much about it as possible, but it is almost unbearable.

How about, don't bring it in the first place?

I think that is Santa Claus fielding requests.

Maybe not.

I'm sure you think so.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I believe that most people do not want to read random outbursts that stray from the topic at hand.
Especially the ones that are designed to make others angry.

I've seen a lot of this lately.

If it continues, the ignore feature looks pretty good.

Fire it up. The discourse that takes place is where all the entertainment value is.
