And that'd be a big leap. The main female PARFer (not you) has almost nothing but strawman arguments to offer or completely sidesteps the issue and feels the need to respond to almost everything. Ignore is my friend.

We need a good conspiracy theory:

Wayne pays people to be trolls so as to bump up the participation in PARF. This in turn causes two things:
-Traffic to the website is increased as people come to laugh at childish name calling. While online, the spectators remember they need a gasket set and oil filter to do a valve adjustment on the old air-cooled. Profit.
-Those that don't visit PARF feel better about their ability to make sound decisions. Their self-confidence is bolstered and they are more willing to step out and attempt that engine rebuild they've been putting off. As such they make purchases for the vehicle from Pelican.
Profit.

Its all a diabolical plot by Wayne to increase sales!!!

No schit on the eye roll. She single handedly dispatches with a bar room full of right wing idiots without ever stopping to their level or taking their incessant bait. I don't know why she bothers with that board, it's a cesspool of nasty arguments and witless bullies.

That is not a half-bad idea. It would fund my new found addiction to these blasted cars. *taps chin with index finger*

Ah, the resident classy, nice guy who never name-calls chimes in. This is why I love PARF.

Not sure who you are talking about. I didn't know there any women posting regularly over there except Foxy and she regularly kicks those guy's butts. Smart woman.

Ignore feature, eh? I didn't realize there was one on here, good to know. No one has pissed me off enough yet for me want to be oblivious to their existence so that I can return the favor at some point in the fututre.

I have never used ignore because someone pissed me off. I don't get upset by stuff on PARF. And I know most of the main characters in person, as I travel a lot for work and often meet up with Pelican folk around the country. My ignore list is for the people who contribute nothing, are always belligerent (and still contribute nothing) or are outright trolls. I've even met some of the folks I later put on ignore. They may be nice in person, but their posts in PARF are argumentative for the sake of arguing without really adding anything to the discussion. But then there are a few I like to read just for the entertainment value.

You seem like a nice lady, but you have no idea at all how bad it can get. Doesn't happen often and the political arguments are nothing to get upset over. But a few times a year someone really steps out of line with threats of physical harm (I think one was really followed up on a ways back) or stuff that Wayne would not want to trip any gov't. data mining programs and draw attention here. I was even accused of wanting to assassinate the the POTUS a few years ago. I offered to put that person in touch with a Secret Service agent I knew, if he wanted to really go there. Thread got closed. It gets out of hand once in a while, but the regular political banter is nothing I consider particularly hateful or vitriolic.

Jferr006 02-06-2013 08:29 AM

Oh someone has already crossed a huge line in regular ol' OT, thread closed. For some reason I'm still on the PP forums.

I wondered how long it would take for this thread on PARF to get moved to PARF, or locked.
We just jumped the shark.


edit: just for clarification, I was agreeing with Rick.
Sometimes stuff gets mixed up on the interwebs like intent and meaning.

slakjaw 02-06-2013 09:00 AM

I'm staying away from parf for a while. If I show up over there it's prolly just to hit on Jferr or foxy. Because they are freekan hot, y'all.

slakjaw 02-06-2013 09:02 AM

I get way too out of line on parf. Usually I'm just trying to be funny... But then **** just gets real.

That's what I don't understand about Foxy, why she wastes her time, or doesn't just get bored as hell. From an objective viewpoint, no one even comes close to her in PARF in terms of intelligence and depth & breadth of knowledge. OK, Dottore, Seahawk, 70SATMan are close, but few and far between.

Jim Richards 02-06-2013 09:03 AM

LOL, slak! A norwegian bachelor farmer "talking southern." :p

slakjaw 02-06-2013 09:05 AM

See, I'm not the only one hitting on foxy.

slakjaw 02-06-2013 09:06 AM

Mix it up sometimes. Yo.
