Moderators, please leave a link to where ever you move it! Here's my complaint and my suggestions.
After reading all the B.S., I thought it to be appropriate for starting a thread for all the drama. Honestly, I'm really tired of it all. People have had past experiences with certain companies, good and bad. It really gets old filtering out all the bantering to get to the actual Tech stuff. You should be utilizing the PM feature for the sake and respect of others. Not everyone will agree on everything. That's just the way it is. What's more annoying is when a person posts that has never posted a single useful thing that is there to merely back someone up-especially in a Tech thread. Go back to your hole! You're not helping anything but the drama. I do think a manufacturers corner/section would be a nice place to broadcast products. That or monitor the threads better and stop the off topic bantering before it ruins the thread. They get SOOO off topic! I'm done griping. I'm not trying to argue with anyone about it. If you feel convicted from this, don't reply. Just take it in. This is not directed to anyone personally. I'm just fed up!

Nicely said.

I'm here to learn/discuss/devise ways to make my GT perform better. Not to deal with the drama.

David,

your constructive feedback is appreciated [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

 

definately appreciated. Also quite often I find myself telling people to take it to the PM's and get back on topic. However, telling someone that what they did as far as a mod goes, well, I don't see anything wrong with that. Where topics get off topic is when the entire thing is about, let's say a different set of gears and then all of a sudden out of nowhere someone asks someone else, not the topic creator, "what kinda rims are on your car". Now that is what I call off topic.

 

You guys think the drama here is bad, look over at SVTPerformance. That has got to be the worst forum ever!!! Although I do love going on there just for the drama. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img] It makes good entertainment. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/popcorn2.gif[/img]

Hey 169 stang, don't fight the law. Someone has to keep the peace and keep the forum a civilized place where everyone can express their opinion. After all someone who has expressed their opinion 2069 time should understand that better than anyone.

 

Yeh man, lately its been like the chicks in my grade at school. Its insane how much drama they go through. I think its because they're lesbians though.

We need more lesbians on this forum. I love lesbians just because their lesbians, in fact, I think I'm a lesbian. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

David I have to agree. Lately I've been snooping around for the right supercharger option, opinion, preference and any other useful tidbids that I can. Recently (we all know when) I came upon an alternative that I wanted to read about.....took me 15 minutes to by-pass the "drama" in order to filter out the interesting stuff. It was very, very frustrating to say the least. So thanks for the comments [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

...and that's not for you to do. That's why we have what's called "Moderators!" I have expressed my opinions, facts, feedback, support and experiences. I have spoken when I shouldn't have. I have carried on with others, while I should have PM'd or just ignored it. I have defended some friends that I have here when it wasn't my battle against occassional ignorant comments. I usually express opposition to someone that's just an instigator. The most important things is that I have changed since my first post on here. I have learned when not to get into it with certain people. I typically will state my opinion on something but avoid the bantering. It's the freakin Internet. It's stupid to argue with someone that sits behind the screen and never even races or mods their car etc. That's what I like to do. I don't do aethetics. I don't post in those threads. If I do, it's to compliment.
You on the other hand have done nothing within your 24 posts but express your opinion of Granatelli, ask about Octane boost, and state that Vortech isn't shipping kits for the 06, then post about an 06 with a Vortech, as well as Brad having his for his 06. You have brought nothing to the table. I don't think you're in any position to say anything about me. I have read about you defending J.R. as if he's your brother. I haven't replied to anything you've said. You enabled the drama and off topic bantering. You can keep you pot shots to yourself. As I mentioned in the start of this thread, I'm not looking to argue with anyone on this matter. I'm not looking to dig up anything from the past. I don't live in the past and I don't hold grudges. My opinion, post more useful info. Give back to the forum instead of mucking it up.

 

With regards to "that" thread It got out of hand before I had a chance to review it. Moderators don't look at everything, so a good idea is to click on the "report" button to make everyone aware of the situation. There initially was a lot of good info in that topic, but it escalated pretty quickly. The same thing happened in a topic in the V6 performance area and I spent over 2 hours cleaning it up.

So glad you have taken such an interest as to read all my posts. It warms my heart to think that an experienced poster such as yourself (over 2000 Posts!) would take the time to read my meager offerings. I'm impressed with your internet experience if noone else is. In fact with over 2000 post "I'm sure you do little else. If your not interested in digging up anything from the past, whats the point of bringing up my past post. Like a few others here, you attack me personally rather than address the merits of my argument on any particular issue. Where I come from personal attacks lead to fistfights, which is why in my neighborhood personal attacks are kept to a minimum. However, here on the net any punk can mouth off and not lose his teeth over it. I now include you in that category. Also, work on spelling and punctuation. It will serve you well in life and limit ridicule. Second if by "aethetics" you meant "aesthetics" how is whether you post in forums focused on "aesthetics" advancing your argument? I might also suggest a class on rhetoric.

Incidentally, if you had something valid to say or contribute and were being insulted on this forum, to the degree that your message was being obscured, I would defend you too. Unfortunately, I don't have the time or the inclination to read your over 2000 posts (Amazing!) to make that determination. Me thinks you spend too much time on the forum. Maybe you need help? Life! Check it out. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thumb.gif[/img]

 

If people can't see eye to eye or agree to disagree, the ignore feature is available.

[img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/popcorn2.gif[/img]

hehe

oh and where are the freaking lesbians. they could spice up this drama in a whole new unexpected way!

 

Colin, what did adrenalin post? This ignore feature works too well [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

 

What gives with all this bickering lately? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img] I have'nt seen this much since I joined the site. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/shakehead.gif[/img] I say let's all try and remember why most of us are members to this site, our one common interest....Mustang's. Sometime's you may disagree with what someone has to say, just remember it's just someone's "opinion" not the law. Maybe they had a bad day and things came out not quite as the meant them to, who knows...if nothing else, as stated before, the ignore feature is there for a reason. Granted, there are people that just love stirring the pot , these type are just looking for a reaction and by giving them one is exactly what they want, what irks this type more is by simply ignoring them. This is just my .02 cents and am by know means referring to anyone in paticular. I believe that this site is one of the best, that includes a great bunch of people including the TMS staff...(although I'm still waiting for my much deserved GT status Mr. Scotthew.....
