When forums are not fun anymore
 
during this latest blast between several of us.....it has become readily apparent that this forum had become pretty useless.

no longer is it a reasonable discussion of how to make your 928 better, or helping to fix a problem that many may have......but it is now personal attacks on everyone who bothers to either offer technical expertise, or just an experienced solution for the issue at hand, or just does something "different" to their 928.

I have serious doubts that Wayne and Co. started this enterprise expecting this ranting to follow, so I'm really done with it.

I had arguments like this when I was 12 years old and knew nothing about hotrods or Porsches......36 years later the same childish rants are taking place from the other side of the debate. Name calling, bigotry, and general bad manners abound on this forum......and I had hoped for better behavior from Porsche owners. I am truly disappointed.:(


you all are welcome to bash yourselves into oblivion, as I'm taking my stuff somewhere else to play in another sandbox.SmileWavy


Have a nice day----and hopefully Wayne can put some sort of control on this nonsense, as it is completely out of control at this point.

You can't feed the trolls and then complain about the smell from them hanging around the back door.

Ignore, just don't read the posts.

Don't submit, read the post, type out a page of response, move on and don't press submit.

Wait for all the nice picts etc. from SITM to start pouring in.

Mule 06-04-2007 02:55 PM

All that and you end up with a bruised forehead too!

Normy 06-04-2007 05:55 PM

RH, I generally post over on the Rennlist column.

-That is,when the ******* Randy Venier lets me. I'm allowed on the 928 portion [no ****; I usually help out hundreds of peopole]

What's to do about it? Well, I'm going to take apart the pump since it smokes like crazy each time I apply 220 volks.

Otherwise? I'm going running. I leave for Memphis tomorrow night, and I have a crash-pad up threre, despite the locals. Who can be feirce...

Danglerb 06-04-2007 09:12 PM

My advice to "normal" people is not to post, take a look at subjects of interest, and PM or email people directly.

The social nature of a mostly unmoderated forum tends to be 5th grade mixed with a pack of wild dogs.

Unfortunately its like TV, things don't have to be very good when access is very easy by flipping a switch in your own home, for an audience to develop that likes it.

Red Baron 06-05-2007 01:44 AM

A couple of you folks need to have your hormones checked. You whine like your testosterone levels have been surpassed by your estrogen levels.

Mule 06-05-2007 04:17 AM

You mean when people complain about their pump smoking (wtf) or when they complain about trolls in threads they start to troll or is it when they get their egos hurt when their infallible word set's off the bs detector?

rhjames 06-05-2007 09:18 AM

Mule is still pissed----reminds me of talk radio where the listener is baited by the emcee, and the emcee gets his position questioned by the listener, and then the emcee goes "click---it's my show and your not going to better my position".

Trolls? What are trolls? Are they the same as bait-ers?

Hey Mule, you put your writings out there, so why are you so pissed that you didn't do a thorough job of it?

Is this really how you run your business?

(this won't be the end of this, as Mule will undoubtably come back with another childish answer---watch and see)

Absolutely.

It amazes me when one poster starts with another poster totally unprovoked, then has the temerity to claim harassment. :rolleyes:

BTW, i recieved the threatening PM titled "Bigotry" Rhjames. Want my address to come pay me that "visit" you threatened?

James, if you think i'm scared of some trailer-park trash truck driver, you really are as stupid as your posts make you sound.

Mule 06-05-2007 10:05 AM

Buster the crash test dummy has become Dr. Phil?

Danglerb 06-05-2007 12:01 PM

Trolls are people who post with the objective of wasting as much of other peoples time as possible.

Its like fishing, except you don't need a boat, just sit at home drinking beer and typing and wait for the fish to take the hook.

*******

5th grade school yard practices haven't changed, find the persons button and push it. The more the person responds, the more the tormentor knows they have found a nerve to work on.

*******

You don't have to play with them if you don't want to, use the "ignore" function and you won't even see what they post except as it is quoted by others.

Even if you read the post, you really have no obligation to join them in the mud, don't reply, and never drop to their level.

Red Baron 06-06-2007 10:30 AM

I know you are but what am I? (In a Pee Wee Herman voice)

Mule 06-06-2007 01:55 PM

I think a post like that is just out of line on such an otherwise highly logical, well directed, fact based thread, Check yourself please Red Baron..

rhjames 06-07-2007 06:45 AM

Hey sniper---see this button? it says "ignore".


it's a wonderful button. I have found that it works quite well for mules as well.


Now that I have you and Mule convinced of what you think I am (truck driver or whatever other bigoted name you care to use for the day), think about this:


It's all a ruse------


The closest I've ever been to an 18 wheeler is standing next one in parking lot while performing a drug bust. As for the Porsche, it belongs to a friend of mine who's now back in Tennessee. Nice car, wish I had one.....but there's a fishing boat calling my name.

I live just right down the street from you and have been watching your stuff for years. Funny stuff......(my colleagues and I have been quite amused watching you tote your guns in and out). I can't come visit, though, as it would be an ethics violation on my part, and would jeopardize my retirement. Sorry....

My 25 years in the government is just about done, so I'll be moving this summer to sunny Florida with the rest of the snowbirds......

And you "feel" threatened....now that is funny!

Gotcha!

Mule 06-07-2007 07:52 AM

Hopefully the feds have some good psychiatric care available fir you in Fla.

So in your training as an "undercover agent for the FBI" or whatever, they must've taught you to read minds. I'm guessing that's how you know what I'm convinced of. Allow me to help with your work to determine my thoughts. I could give a rat's a$$ whether you drive a garbage truck or turn tricks in a gay bath house! Hopefully, with therapy you to not continue to embarrass yourself in this fashion.

PS So I guess this means all that crap about your diesel was a paranoid delusion?

Notice to taxpayers!!!!!
Trillions of your hard earned dollars are being spent to pay clowns like this to continue the"war on drugs." Gubmint, aint it wonderful.

If only we had a "WAR ON STUPIDITY," I know where to drop the first bomb.

Red Baron 06-07-2007 09:24 AM

Well now it is obvious why this forum is no longer fun for you, rh.

Your a pathological liar and people here are calling you out on it.

My diesel, my 928, I'm DEA....ALL are likely lies.

One thing I would believe though? Is that your a Bronze Medal Winner in the Special Olympics.

You have ~0~ credibility here. Stop while you can keep some of your dignity.

m21sniper 06-07-2007 09:55 AM

Wow....SOMEONE is living in fantasy land!

Someone buy Rj some mickey mouse ears. With fantasies like that he must be at Disney world.

Danglerb 06-07-2007 11:43 AM

Are you three going to hold hands and dance in a circle next?

Mule 06-07-2007 11:48 AM

Bailing out on your buddy dangler? You 2 were the best of pals in the boost debate until it became so obvious you were trying to uphold an impossible position.

Danglerb 06-07-2007 12:15 PM

Calling your troll thread a "boost debate" is dressing up a monkey a bit too much.

I'm not joining your unwelcome wagon either, I prefer to assume all of you are decent human beings, some with more troubles than others, just finding internet a bit awkward at times. No point really in making a big deal out of a foolish post.
