That doesn't mean he finds it PERSONALLY insulting. And the thread is insulting, to 15-25 year olds.

hehehehe.

he misquotes me, uses one of his own quotes attributes it to me and he apparently can't even make the distinction between being PERSONALLY insulted and recognizing that a thread can be insulting in general.

oh well. i'm done.

I draw the line at the point when people go from addressing my point to making a personal attack.

Once they resort to personal attacks, it doesn't matter whether they call me an idiot, hypcrite, a$$hole, fvcker, etc. It's the thought that counts.

And to tell you the truth, sometimes I find it pretty funny when someone come up with a really hot, really good insult. I have a sick sense of humor like that...

Perhaps you missed the *sarcasm*, but even if there was none then you still need to get a thicker skin.

Hmmm...I guess you opted not to tap into your vast reservoir of humor when typing out the "cheesesteak" comment then, huh?

Just for the heck of it..here are a few of your posts:

How about you get lost. I eat just like humans have always eaten, hence the canine teeth. What you are doing is unnatural. You're probably skinny as all hell.

On this forum people never seem to get together.


But I found one thing that's helpful on the automotive forums is when you get to meet the people behind the screennames. I've found that it improves the atmosphere of the forum when people can identify a real person behind the words. And plus, we all get to have a good time driving our cars around and hanging out. It's a very positive thing...

I also should add, I find it quite hilarious that someone who is questioning the maturity of these forums is the same guy who up until today had an 'ignore list' in his sig.

You should feel special... you were one of the few people who were in my ignore list.

You don't feel bad that I removed you from my list, do you?

Yes, as I've pointed out (in this very thread no less!) that I have engaged in flames on here. I never claimed to be a model forum member... just one that hopes to make things better.

LOL..but those were just from today...that's just a bit on the hypocritical side. Statistically..if you didn't post at all today (including this thread)..wouldn't things be better?
