If you just don't give a crap, that's cool, but if you like "brotherhoods" as you indicated you do, there's no reason to not be friendly.
How can there ever be a brotherhood if people act like that...just don't get it.

Hi,
God, let it go! You state that you are not a member of a Community (
"...but I am in no way part of ANY COMMUNITY associated w/ Porsche Boxsters." ), but that I am, just because of the car I bought?
Just because DenverPete believes in the Brotherhood of Harley Riders in no way can be construed that he believes (or ought to - not free to do otherwise) in
all Brotherhoods.
You concede the concept of Free Will (...
"If you just don't give a crap, that's cool"...), but then you infer all sorts of negativity with labels of
unfriendly and such if one actually chooses something different than you.
It is not at all unfriendly not to reciprocate the jesture of a
stranger, just because they're driving the same car. It that were true, you'd also be unfriendly for each passing Buick you didn't wave to as well.
Many people like and enjoy the solitude and isolation they get when driving in their car, a controlled environment, anonymous to the world around them. It could be equally
unfriendly of you to wave at them and violate their private space or quiet time, ever think of that?
I'm not saying not to wave at all, what I
am saying is that it is up to the individual with no obligation to act one way or the other. And, if you believe that, you must respect their right and not call them names if they choose the opposite of you. But, I think you're now just arguing for the sake of argument, so respond if you like or not. I'm moving to other threads...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
