Naa dude, c'mon. Over what? A traffic court case? Who cares? One of the problems with writing, I guess, is that you can't read body language or hear tone of voice. Check this out. This is how human communication breaks down percentage-wise:

"7 percent verbal (words)

38 percent vocal (volume, pitch, rhythm, etc)

55 percent body movements (mostly facial expressions)"

This applies to a verbal conversation, but I have no reason to believe that a written conversation is much different. If that's true, it means that by writing to one another, we're probably only receiving about 7 percent of the message the other is trying to convey. If we were in a bar somewhere, and you were paying attention to me instead of that little hottie in the low rise jeans, you would be able to "read" much more of my communication and realize that I was just making a point in a friendly argument.

On this end, that exchange was no more serious than I'm an Eagles fan and your Raiders suck.

Agreed, tone of voice and body language play a big part.

Heh, so I see another person has learned the fact that this forum is not-so-nice if you:

1. Complain about a ticket.
2. Complain about the environment.
3. Disagree with the moderators.
4. Complain about your car in any way.

It's made me rather reluctant to participate in any way other than a purely technical discussion.

Nick, no way! Grizzly only likes chocolate frosted or cinnamon & sugar.

same post he mentions his car came with 17's and he upgraded to 18's...hmmmm...so I said to him the same argument you just used for not getting 19's....could have been used on you when you got 18's.....

his reply was along the lines of Back Off! I can have my opinion! You have yours..blah blah blah .....and that's just the kind of rat a@# he was....

Super,

I think SD987 sold his Boxster a few months ago. I miss him too.

The post from Nick is a video, not just a picture!! (I expected more from a white Boxster owner! ) Click on it, and it will play.
