Why are the PARFaits wandering?
 

Has it finally gotten that crappy over there? Even a used helmet thread gets infected? WTH? Ban island must have washed away.

Admin note from Eric at Pelican Parts:

Okay guys and gals... I'm really starting to get tired of this. I've seen some stuff and others are PM'ing me about PARF posts in PPOT. It just keeps increasing these past few weeks and it really shouldn't. Because of this, I'm going to start handing out bans.

Please keep PPOT seperate from PARF.

PM me if you see something that shouldn't be here.

I hope what I see here (and there) is not a microcosm of America. If it is, you should all be worried.

I started a thread that seems to have devolved into that sort of irrational stupidity so I bowed out. My bad. Sometimes I miss our moderators....

I read the helmet thread and didn't see anything political or religious. What are you talking about?

it only takes one "Beetlejuice" equivalent anymore.

If it is not...I am worried. It could be more like many (including neighboring) countries...where speech is not free and people cannot allow anyone to disagree about contentious issues.

Here in Pelican world folks are allowed to disagree about whatever they want to, and go on for pages and pages of disagreement.

We even have a special place for that.

It's not PPOT.

Cheers Richard

How are you supposed to win the internet if you restrict yourself to just one page?

Hahaha, Yep Cabmando, you got me there.

Cheers Richard

I disagree! :D

It's not the issues that bother them, it's the contentiousness.

They want an never-ending kumbya moment here. Like a woman who asks, do these pants make my ass look big? If you provide truth they take it as a personal attack.

BTW, I think OT is looking great.

Whining about PARF makes you all look strong.

I like PARF just the way it is :)

PPOT not so much lately ;)

I keep thinkin' I got TiDdieS on my mind....an obsession I tell ya!

I've only posted a couple of times on PARF, because I don't see contributing to discussions that devolve into the crap you see there. Generally I don't post anything if I don't have something fairly neutral and informative to contribute. I think my post count for nineteen years reflects that. Also I think if others would just ignore and quit/not post in discussions that go south, they would atrophy and die in a timely way.

Man-made global warming caused the hockey stick to whack an iceberg that ran over the island and sank it.

The more PARF posts ya gots....the more....well...the....more....hell, I give up ;)?

If ya have more than 25k PARF posts.....you gots DS :).....

Todd and Zoltan are having a blast....got it all to themselves now...devious :)

Politics And Religion Forum.

I suppose helmets are a religious topic? Or is it political?

One would think that the division of topic would be the focus of such a thread. And yet, here we are, with the OP and KC trying to divide the people here. ..into camps of OT & PARF posters. --what a shtty thing to do.

Seriously. GTF over yourselves and your tribal division tactics. If it weren't for my bringing up the subject with Wayne years ago this place would still be called Off Topic Rants.

LOL...I'm going out into the HOT, HUMID afternoon....you are all a hoot ;)

Sure...we'll all pretend that the inflammatory image and political reference never happened and/or deny that posts were intended as such.

Denial is the primary strategy of all dysfunction and the keystone of nearly every PARFeteer's "debate."

This place is being ruined by a few douche bags that have been left to run wild.

One of my little friends at PARF decided to take his disagreement with me out into the real world, spreading lies about me in the local PCA and track communities. Another decided to call jihad on me, directly threatening to come out to my house and kill me. All because of political disagreements.

It's odd--these are people I've never met, and who I might actually be friends with in real life, seeking to do serious damage to me professionally and personally. Because of a stupid online political board. It certainly brings out the worst in people.

Weird. I mean it's not like you ever got deep into PARF ...and downright nasty towards others there. :rolleyes:

I guess others took you a bit too seriously. although I'm questioning how much you are embellishing^. I mean now that you want to sanitize yourself from being waist deep in PARF for so long.

I find myself coming here less and less these days. Too many instances where people let their politics bleed over and ruin what could have been a good discussion.

Okay guys and gals... I'm really starting to get tired of this. I've seen some stuff and others are PM'ing me about PARF posts in PPOT. It just keeps increasing these past few weeks and it really shouldn't. Because of this, I'm going to start handing out bans.

Please keep PPOT seperate from PARF.

PM me if you see something that shouldn't be here.

Thank you. Sincerely.

Can we PM you if we get a full page of "back and forth" between 2 Pelicans in PPOT that is nothing but insults?

Yes, please do. If you see stupid stuff going on in PARF or anywhere, just let me know directly- don't hit the report button.

PARF is by no means a no mans land. You should still be able to have a respectful discussion there.

Eric, it is often the people complaining that bring up the subjects and make the posts.

Kinda weird.

It is disagreement with them that they don't like.

Good to know you'll be on the job. I think some people will be surprised when the rules tighten to find they are breaking them themselves.

I like to wait until a topic moves, or is moved to reply if the subject belonged in PARF. There have been a few times in the past that movement hasn't happened.

Ha ha - your post, of course - is funny to those that can laugh and not take themselves and others too seriously, butt highly offensive to those who are always looking to be triggered.

fit their manbun ... that was hilarious. :D

[QUOTE=Eric at Pelican Parts;10511614]Okay guys and gals...

Thanks Eric.

Pretty much all of the usual offenders have self-identified here already.

Lol

Whoops, sorry...

Island should be banned to PARF....at least!

He posted a pic of TITTIES here in PPOT....triggered my TDS...again ;).

Thanks Eric!

See y'all bichez in PARF.....sorry Runnie :)

(....notagonnagothere....band or no band)

Can you tell me please why the used helmet thread got closed?

No shortage of manbuns (not like THAT! :eek:) in the DFW area - always funny to see!

> pow <

I just looked at it, you are the one that broke it. One has to wonder who the babies were that reported you.

I laughed at your post because of how true it was. I can see some SJW's getting their panties in a wad over it.

Some people make fun on things in OT that I find off putting, I move on and do not bother mods with it. I have no idea what kind of defect a person has to have in order to feel a need to stir the pot to the point that a mod is losing his temper over posts on a freaking car forum.

Some sad people out there.

I apologize for that, I got side tracked when I was deleting a post. It's open again though!
