Since "Senor Cerdo Gordo" (that's Mr. Fat Pig, for those who don't speak Spanish) is no longer with us, this will have to come directly from me. Why is it that just about every thread on this forum where people don't agree 100% on something turns into a snarky ? I've started posting more on SpeedTalk since it's come back up after Don Terrell's unexpected passing, and those guys can't seem to keep it on the rails, either. And I was looking for some non-Mopar tech stuff the other day and it led me to a -- get ready for it -- Corvette enthusiast site (and, no, I don't own one). Those guys were not only a-holes, but pompous & ignorant a-holes. It's bad enough that I don't want to go to the legit(?) news sites these days because it's full of the current status quo of chaos, but it's started to become a lot less interesting & entertaining to hit the gearhead sites, too. If I want to "hear" people sniping and b!tching about each other all the time, I can hang out with my 3 kids and their friends. As much as I hate this expression, because it's been waaay overused... "Just sayin'"

I’ve reached a point where it really takes something out of the ordinary, something extra “special”, to even get me raise an eyebrow anymore.
Though, occasionally someone will come up with a particularly creative retort that I’ll get a nice chuckle out of.

Might not be wonderful at the moment, but im not on the web whining about being in a wheel chair 2.5 months out of the last six, or my brother dying very young age less then 90 days ago. (I did mention it one time though). So today I could stand for the first time in five weeks so vs complaing why life sucks I started to cut another set of tiny heads for bigger valves...... So what did you do on your car today vs think and dream? Then go spend more time outside of your own head, like actually working on your car or junk it and take up needle point.
Not enough violins in your state to cover how much your heart bleeds over junk that only half ever makes any sense, might consider a med to help your thought patterns function better.
And you have a WONDERFUL life, too!

I ignore the idiots and just keep working on my stuff. Not saying that approach will work for everyone but it seems to be the best approach for me. I've come to the conclusion that only about 1% or 2% of the population are jerks but they seem to punch above their weight just because they are annoying. If you engage with them you just waste valuable time that can be spent elsewhere. Use the ignore button and keep on trucking. There are always a few folks on every forum who just post snark. Since they never seem to post anything valuable you can safely ignore them. Once you ignore the snark the forum becomes more valuable. 1% or 2% of the population are jerks??? Andy, you are much too kind. If you put an 8 in front of those numbers we could agree. Go to a drag strip and you can put a 9 in front of it.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

People who might be more polite in person become tigers when concealed by the 'et. I'm too old to care.

You have two profiles and you want to talk sanity??? Yep. I agree. I knew a guy that would post on the S/SS racers board under two names long ago and fight with himself and brag on his good deeds the next day. We have the ignore button. I use it quite often. Once in awhile, I’ll peak in to see if they have changed their ways. They never do. Back on the ignore list they go.

Funny, my son and I had this conversation last night about Facebook...but on here lately it seems to be a similar situation and it's called plastic balls or keyboard warriors, whichever you prefer. People get on the internet and type stuff they would NEVER say to your face. I recommended this board to two of my friends...neither lasted, now if they run into a question they ask me and if I don't know I ask on here for them. I have met and dealt with some awesome folks on here, but it's pretty easy to watch the madness and figure out who to stay away from...no harm...no foul...to each their own, peace.
