I hate to see anyone leave this board, but I honestly think the forums are great. If a thread offends you, don't read or post in it. I've learned a lot here and have made many "friends". The Pelicans I've met in person are some of the best prople I've ever met. I'm thankful to have this little corner of the Internet!

Hey, conflict is a relative term. Plus, I've been Porsche-less for a while, I've probably missed a few things.

Take care, S.
ditto.

And, I think it's rather ridiculous to take it out on the "business that supports it..."

I know, I've gone off the deep end at least twice here.

356a, you're welcome to take a leave to clear your mind of some of the crap here. But you'd be foolish to not buy parts if the prices and service are good. And besides, how would we know if you continued to buy from Pelican?

Please don't shoot the messenger.

Keep this up and you guys won't be invited to the wedding!
I'm guessing from the look on that goat's face - she will not be wearing white at the wedding and I thought when you were referring to "kids" you were talking about the two legged kind.

944's and 928's still suck and don't even get me going on the typical 356 owner.

People really get offended by PPOT convo? This place is a should be a source of laughter, even if the message is with ill intent. I treat this place like a bar, there are always *********s in the room, just steer clear and have fun.

This place is a slice of life, to leave is putting ones-self into denial. I have learned to look away from things that I don't like and steer clear of some of the political BS.

I get some education from this place as well as some laughs but everything in moderation. This place is a form of therapy.

I marvel at the quick replies that are posted when people have problems, want to sell something or just need some emotional support, this place is unique.

The OT area of the knitting and crochet forums can get pretty out of hand too.

This is the General Population (you know the ones your folks told you about, the all walks of life mixing, the good bad & evil)

It's whats makes visiting OT interesting.

What do you expect?

You mean the one where you can get shanked by the AB, La Eme, the Crips and the Bloods? (oh, none of those on PPOT...plenty of AB though!)

I think I would be offended more often if I better understood what is posted.
