In reply... LPC, sorry long...

[CJ_Boxster]

Sorry Jim, but this long post doesnt change the plain fact that you are sometimes a Jerk to people. Thats the only issue people have with you here, Nothing else, other than that, I find your posts to be very informative when they have helpful information, I guess I wouldnt have an issue with your "jerk Like" posts if you just didnt post your negative opinion on someone thread, Theres something about the way you word your negative posts that send a wild hair up my ass sometimes... Other than that, you've helped me and given me great advice and I know your probably a nice guy but you dont hardly seem to express positive feelings and thoughts more than you express negative ones, Thats all.

attacking other forum members should be left for political forums or sports forums. (great fun!) But should not be done on here.
Also, criticisms related to perceived lack of good taste in mods or admitting to grand theft larceny during a wayward youth, should be handled with care and some sensistivity. No need for a public lynching because someone exercised poor judgement in their wheel choice or personal business practices. Ok we get it you are sylisticaly impaired and we get it no need to proclaim it or you obviously follow a different set of ethical guidelines than the balance of the Boxster lot.
Send them a PM don't make 986forum.com a MySpace-type public free for all.
Drama is for the dollybirds (aka females).

I think that alot of you guys are forgetting this is a DISCUSSION forum where people should feel free to express their opinoins/thoughts on something.

[CJ_Boxster]

true, i forget sometimes. I also like to defend the under dog/noobs also.

Lets try to put a stake in the heart of this issue.

We should try to stick to making points about ISSUES, not people.

Look, I don't like the RICER look on cars, I think it looks assinine. Therefore, I refrain from buying this type of auto.

However, these statements are NOT a attack on the guys who LOVE that look.

Unless of course I start making it personal by attacking them.

Some folks HATE Porsche autos, which is their right. That hate says NOTHING about me, unless the person starts to make those attacks on my person.

Lets ALL try to do better.

[SD987]

Can't we all just get along?



Here's something I sing to myself when reading posts about aerokits and boost gauges, maybe it will help you.

Before we begin, I think it would be better if everyone joined hands and got in a circle...

Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Oh Lord, kum ba ya.

Someone's crying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's crying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's crying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Oh Lord, kum ba ya.

Someone's singing, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's singing, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's singing, Lord, kum ba ya,
Oh Lord, kum ba ya.

Someone's praying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's praying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Someone's praying, Lord, kum ba ya,
Oh Lord, kum ba ya.

Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Kum ba ya my Lord, kum ba ya,
Oh Lord, kum ba ya.

Now, don't you feel better?

July 27, 1987: According to a complaint filed by his wife, King beat her while she was sleeping, then dragged her outside the house and beat her again. King was charged with battery and pleaded "no contest." He was placed on probation and ordered to obtain counseling. He never got the counseling.

November 3, 1989: King, brandishing a tire iron, ordered a convenience store clerk to empty the cash register. The clerk grabbed the tire iron, causing King to fall backwards and knock over a pie rack. King swung the rack at the clerk and fled the store with $200. King was arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, second-degree robbery, and intent to commit great bodily injury. In a plea agreement, King pleaded guilty to the robbery charge and the other charges were dropped. He was sentenced to two years in prison, but was paroled on December 27, 1990.

March 3, 1991: After being seen speeding on the 210 freeway by CHP officers, King led them on a chase at speeds estimated at up to 110 to 115 mph. When finally stopped, King refused requests to get into the prone position and appeared to charge one of the officers. He was beaten and arrested. King was charged with felony evading. Charges were later dropped.

May 28, 1991: King picked up a transvestite prostitute in Hollywood who happened to be under surveillance by LAPD officers. King and the prostitute were observed in an alley engaging in sexual activity. When the prostitute spotted the officers, King sped away, nearly hitting one of them. King later explained that he thought the vice officers were robbers trying to kill him. No charges were filed.

June 26, 1992: King's second wife reported to police that King had hit her and she feared for her life. King was handcuffed and taken to a police station, but his wife then decided against pressing charges.

When she started to get out, King sped off, leaving her on the highway with a bruised arm.

March 3, 1999: King allegedly injured the sixteen-year-old girl that he had fathered out of wedlock when he was seventeen, as well as the girl's mother. King was arrested for injuring the woman, the girl, and for vandalizing property. King claimed that the incident was simply "a family misunderstanding."

September 29, 2001: King was arrested for indecent exposure and use of the hallucinogenic drug PCP.




So SD987, did you choose to quote Rodney King because he is a man of questionable character, motive and mental stability, who received a bad beating because he just didn't know when to quit, or was that pure serendipity?

OK guys, lets just stop this now.

"Sorry Jim, but this long post doesnt change the plain fact that you are sometimes a Jerk to people. "

I couldn't agree more. Some people, it seems, can only be pitchers -- not catchers.


"And if some of you supposed Fact Checkers come up with such an instance, which may be possible as I haven’t re-read all of my posts here, what is the weight of the evidence?"

I can recall personal experience, being that I don't post very much. After all: "I’m entitled to have this opinion as you are to yours."

MMMEMMMMMMOOOORRRRIIIEEESSS... Or the lack thereof. Ahem: "Unlike some others, I try to keep my criticism on point, without digging up past posts out-of-context, or personal slurs about me, or my cars, just to try and bolster an argument."

"@cfos,

Hi,

Too Much! What's it like to be the Girl anyway..?? Think, say, write what you will. The fact is, the sale of the device is legal. If you don't want to buy it, then don't...


Happy Motoring!...Jim'99"
