Forum Conduct

[Tamago]

this was written because of the incident between Rockland and I, eh?

interesting...

i come from forums where personal insults roll of my back on a daily.. hourly... basis..


relax, this is the internet.. a 4foot3, one legged, 3 armed, 7 eared elf can call you a lazy good-for-nothing, weakling, tell you he's gonna kick your ass, you're a retard, etc etc, and that's his "internet" given right..

if i sat down with rockland in REAL LIFE i guarantee we could find common ground. i fight every day on other forums with individuals, and when we hang out later in real life, we have a beer and LOL at our previous convo. i've always wondered why CAR SPECIFIC FORUMS ARE ALWAYS SO TOUCHY... ? why? go to a general forum that's there for all car lovers, and you'll be insulted for owning a yaris. you may even go to a meet and have someone poke fun that you bought a "girls car". believe me, i've gotten more shit than any of you, for buying an xA.... i still do, to this day, even though my car can clean house against many "fast" street cars.. and i can laugh it off because these people mean no harm.

i understand where the moderators are coming from.. and i know they don't want yarisworld to turn into an all-out hatefest, but seriously, is it REALLY that bad for me to say "hey, dude, ur full of shit" to someone who says he gets 80mpg with his yaris? in the long run, will he (or she) slit his (or her) wrists or try other forms of suicide, simply because a 4foot3, one legged, 3 armed, 7 eared elf-guy called them out ON THE INTERNET??




i sincerely hope not..


as the moderators have asked me via PM, be nice, we like having you here because you CAN BE HELPFUL AT TIMES, but lay off the sarcasm... i'm trying, i really am, but sometimes things need to be said, or this place will turn into an all out flowers-and-sunshine Love-Fest, and everyone will be awarded for their opinion, kinda like special ed class...

(i'm screen shotting this post btw... i'm a little wired and want to re-read this later since i'm pretty sure it's gonna disappear very quickly)
