Wow, you guys remember way too much. :rolleyes:

(But it <u>works</u>.)

and to think i was going to post a question to the group about how to replace my 2.4 with a V-8.............glad i waited for THAT post.

I've been reading comments here for quite a while but just recently registered. It is quite comical how anyone can get as pissed off as some do from someone who they don't know can't see and have no idea who or what they are all about. Sound familar? Road Rage! To take things that serious makes for a shortend life, and an unhappy one at that. If you can't take it then feel free to go, but remember don't let the door hit you in the brains on the way out.

Hey, my wife bought me floor mats from PP for my b-day last month. Does that count?

Sarah, if you search you won't find the original (long) thread as it was removed. Let's just say it was interesting, there is a wide variety of opinion concerning marriage to be found here, and a fine time was had by all. Even after that I continued to be "decision challenged", so pot shots (mostly warranted) continued. Luckily I came through in the end.

Funny thing about people posting about how people post too much here. As for me, I like to think of this place as a continual family reunion. Sure, it sucks now and then, but it is also fun to sit back on occasion and remember what went on in the past. Then again, I don't get out much.

That being said, none of you guys are in my will, so don't get any ideas :p

Patience, perspective, and plenty of humor.
NoGonads is a great example to anyone who is too sensitive to mix it with this crowd.

Hell, its only a special interest BBS - nothing ego threatening!

If I recall, ThrownTool has recently had a raft of help sorting out his ignition cut-out problems - he even opened a 'thanks' thread! To jump off the twig shortly thereafter simply because of a tongue-in-cheek snipe at his car's aftermarket burden is just plain over-reaction.

There's plenty of good will here, and plenty of ribbing. Its all part of the deal. No need to take it outside and get serious.

If the hammer chucker wants to sulk, let him sulk.
I hope he'll be back - we need the outliers as well:rolleyes:

Cry baby posts are the worst.

I've had it with you guys, so I'm leaving and never coming back.

Can I have your cape??? :D

Dibs on his wheelchair :eek: . . . . . (new cams and all) ;)

Thanks from me to the member's board...You know how to reject the flamers, while still accepting the not so bright. I only wish the webmaster of the early 911S registry board had done the same. That said...thrown-hammer, don't go away mad just because we don't appreciate what looked "hot" back in the '80's....hell, fads come & go... Strosek just isn't "in" right now. Also, it's true...my box stock '72S would probably blow the doors off a car like a strosek bodied mid '70's 911....and they, the board members here, know that. That doesn't mean they don't like you. It only means you have more to learn. Maybe the lesson is a bit too nasty?

Thank you. The funny thing about this board is that people post at least once a day making fun of cars on ebay that look just like thrown_hammer's, and then they get upset when a few people on the board say the same thing about one of the board member's cars. I'm sure a few of those people that we have all ridiculed on ebay were members of this board. So, I see little difference - nothing like a little hypocrisy to liven things up.

I've seen pictures of thrown_hammer's car for a long time and have never commented because I did think it was rude. Today, I started by saying that I never liked the Strosek conversions - nothing against thrown_hammer, just an opinion of mine. A few people backed me up. Then, when thrown_hammer decided to, as he said, "take his ball and leave", the gloves came off. Even then, I was not as critical as some of the other people that posted here. Is it rude? Maybe, but I think acting like a child and quitting is a little rude too. Besides, we are entitled to our opinions. I have been ridiculed (and rightly so) for asking stupid questions, but that's how it goes in a board like this. If you can't take a little abuse, then it's probably better that you and your ball left.

If I remember correctly it was "I'm selling my car and I'd like to offer it to you guys first" That's not quite the same as a for sale ad! Which I'm sure would have followed either in the correct place or on e-bay or both.

It's no different to someone posting an e-bay ad then getting sombody to link it. That's a real ad.

Am I in trouble yet?

He wasn't probably expecting such a string of negatives, which basically all said that they prefered their own car to his. Had they been technical critisisms I think it would have been different.

Do I now have to post under a different name?
Or am I still ok!

You're fine, Jeff. When it was just his intial ad, I saw it, and let it stay. Then, when he was discouraging discussion of the car (whether that discussion was rude or not is a separate issue), it started to look different, to me. His quote was "I didn't post the car for sale to find out who DOESN'T like it."

That's suggesting his only reason for posting was to sell the car. That's fine, but it doesn't belong in this forum. It belongs in the classifieds.

I'm sure you did the right thing, my post was to put a more moderate perspective on what happenned, as some people were posting comments without.... well without something.

Maybe I could have some fun here, think I'll link to some terrible 911T and just give enough hints that it could be mine, then just let them flail away,
Just kidding

Tear 'em up, Jack. I got chore back, maign.

I have little patience for people who post pics of their cars and then throw a hissy (or, well, a hammer...) if someone critiques it. It's the interweb. Get your toughskins on.

Hammer i signed up a couple years ago posted a few times and then someone was lets just say not very nice, more like down right rude, and i basicaly said f it to this board for a couple years, well when i came back it was the same ol stuff but a different day with several people that have manners of a 5 year old, i really dont even think they own a Porsche, so i have learned who the idiots are and stay away from them, so now i like the bbs, but i stay out of all the $hit, remember all the stories about my car:D well some people dont understand that some cars are better off to be hot rodded, like both our cars, neither car was worth trying to take back to a perfect/daily driver, so both were hot rodded, i havent understood yet why people will rip someones car up just because its no stock, but its ok to put a 3.6 in, the problem with a hot rod is, the accesories some times date a car, there are a ton of things to bring up to date with out changeing the body you have, I originaly had a set of slant nose fenders for my car and all I heard was boy your dateing your car, well so what, so I have nothing but respect for people who keep these old cars on the road by hotrodding or stock. but again not all cars can be returned to stock, remember that, for those of you who want to ripe on my car heres a link its the yellow one, it started as a black 1982 sc targa, Kevin, by the way hang around just be selective when you post

Is your life that dull that you can actually recall what goes on in someone else's life, Man thats pathetic!!!!

Nah, I'm just hella sweet smart ;)

I do rmember the marriage discussion before nostatic's.

The member still posts (and is a stand-up guy) so I'm not gonna dig it up, but I remember thinking of that post as I bought a whole 0.6 carat diamond ring for my fiance (and thought it looked big enough and she is 6ft tall)...

Too funny
 

I swear y'all were put on this Earth simply to amuse me. It never fails. Listen to some of you--whining about the whiner.

That was motion I believe, and it was followed later up by the parting of the marital seas (not too many months after my debacle).

Here's to being hella-smart and having a pornographic memory!

No one post a picture of their P-Car on this board, because they want to read another member's post, trashing their car. I don't think, because someone does post a picture, that we should feel we have the right to trash their car. Now, if someone ask for an opinion, that's another ballgame. Thrown Hammer posted a picture because he felt some board members might be interested in buying his "pride & joy". He did this as a favor (whether you like his car or not) to his fellow board members. Others have done the same on this board.

We have all see other member's P-Car pictures on this board, than we don't care for. So what's the harm in keeping our opinions to ourselves. My P-Car is Mocha Brown, a color which a lot of people don't like. If someone is asking, what other's think about P-Car colors, it doesn't bother me if guys knock Mocha Brown. It would bother me, if every time I posted a picture of my P-Car someone made a rude remark about the color.............

I don't think it has anything to do with being over-sensative. It has to do with being rude. That's my take on it and I am sticking to it. :D
