sometimes those smart kids are also :censor: though... not saying you were, but just throwing it out there.

some smart kid throwing around their "talents" and criticizing a guy for being not as smart is no different to me than a jock bad mouthing a "weaker" kid... both are wrong to the same degree..

Good comments John. This is the only forum that I participate in...I was briefly on a couple of the Mercedes forums, but those guys are insufferable.  :)

I'm actually okay with that, you want to unload on someone being a knob, please do.



Oh lord, now you've done it.

I'm sad that one f***wit is enough to turn you guys off this place so much. I guess my time in motorbike forums has given me too thick a skin.
Fixer just returned from a nine-day ban for a personal attack.
I'm prepared to give him a final warning, but I don't want to go down the road of running everyone the main guys disagree with out of town - that's not positive community building, it's enforced homogeny.

Hopefully it wasn't the personal attack he hurled at me, was it?

Take the iPhone 6 thread for example. We have a bunch of Android users in there seemingly with a purpose to promote Android and put down the iPhone, but at the very least they came up with explanations as to why their opinions exist. And that's respectable. A bit of banter, discussion, corrections, etc. but in the end a pretty civilized discussion.

Anyway, someone who spends three quarters of his time on the forum going into threads about things he's highly biased against to throw in one liners with little explanation just to provoke a reaction does not deserve an ounce of my attention and I try to ignore him. If he wants to be all pro GM, Ford, and Mopar on the respective threads then honestly all the power to him, a lot of us would much rather see that than deal with his persistent trolling ways.

I do agree that we shouldn't ban him just because of his one line opinions, it's just disrespectful to the unwritten code of conduct.

True.  And true of many brand/model specific discussions.  The point is that we can have a discussion without troll-flaming.

The iphone thread is completely partisan. There is nothing but bias on both sides of the argument.

As johngenx said. It's pretty civilized in there. I've seen much worse.
