BigB,

I think you should take a little more time to think through your questions and comments before posting them. A few examples of how your posts irritate people:

Your recent question "How fast is too fast?" was just a reaction from you because you got your balls busted in the "downshifting" thread. It wasn't a legitimate question and just added to the noise. If you honestly think that somebody was going to reply with a number, then you really are lacking the common sense you need to drive your car safely.

In the "downshifting" thread, you told us about a mistake you made driving your car. Then when you got some negative (but deserved) comments, you reacted irrationally, saying everyone must be perfect, etc. You missed the point entirely. I'm certainly not perfect and neither is anyone else here, but most of us wouldn't post "Hey, I'm not really used to my car yet but I was doing triple digits on a public road and sure I could've killed someone and balled up my beautiful car but forget all that, did I wear out my clutch?" Afterwards you continued your irrational behavior by creating a poll with answers like, "I've never missed a shift-I'm perfect." Childish and silly.

One last thing: your accusations of racism in the "downshifting" thread were quite appalling. That's a serious subject and you had no basis for your comments. The terms libel and slander come to mind.

Post genuine technical questions (this is called the 911 Technical Forum, after all) along with intelligent comments and I'm sure the knowledgeable people here will continue to be a good resource for you.
