But on a serious note, Neil ya ever might think that some dont ask tech questions because many wont answer the question? Its either what they have done or telling you not to spend your money your way. Weather a certain type cam or using an iron head, hard to get good answers at times when one states there PLAN and others dont embrace that persons vision but rather try to alter it. We should be able to vote people off the island who don't contribute to the site in some fashion.  Gone 6 months without answering a tech question? Gone! Gone 6 months and done nothing but try to start fights with everyone else? Gone!

Which one might you be in that vid JCC in your fantasy world? I like Doc.
Compared to about 90% of the others here, he has personality.
There are some real dullards on this site. Guys with far more smarts than humor. Doc is funny. There is value in that.
Intelligence is great but sometimes it is nice to be entertained.
I've spent most of my life surrounded by people that are slow to get the joke, clueless to sarcasm and just plain boring
I try to seek out people that are fun to be around.
or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrIc1SlA7O8  Man, I can't with you figure out where the serious ends and the fantasy starts, its only a movie clip, make of it what you will, nothing I can share here will change anybody's preconceived viewpoints, unless that is preconceived on my part, and I'm open to changing that, I think. 
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

No disrespect to others, but I dont get the whole concept.
You dont like what one says so you shut them off. Im combative as hell and I have none on ignore. What happened to the old get in the ring and fight school of thought?
Reminds me of the weak minded youth of today.
I had to write this to my nephew to get him to call me last week.
"Dont know why you dont answer my texts, this is some of the most foolish bs ive seen in my life. Since when are we a bunch of diaper wearing [censored]." Last word being F--ks.
I know folks here are OLD, im old but not too old to still crack open some heads when needed.
It may sound odd, but this is the very reason why I do like your posts (and dare I say have respect for the author?). Not that you're wanting to crack skulls, but because you don't pussyfoot around. A guy I used to work with (and became friends with) was as subtle as a boot to the head, but there was never any doubt where you stood with him, or how he felt about something. It turned a lot of people off, but I loved it and found it kinda funny how he could make millennials squirm (oh, he was 68 at the time) I don't have the desire to fight everyone, so, just easier to ignore. Gotta choose your battles, no?

Gotta choose your battles, no? Very True.
I actually thought my confrontational days were over until I got the goods on my cat killing neighbor killing my cats. I approached him with more respect then he deserved BUT neighbor stuff can get stupid and out of hand real fast.
Which goes back to, Gotta choose your battles, Yes?

The problem is, this forum should not IMO be just a version of survival of the fittest, meaning those intimidated by fear or bravado, should not be self censoring because they are adverse to getting slammed for speaking their piece. The problem is the above protection, does not apply IMO when being just arrogant, or outright stupid ( to be blunt), or inciteful. This forum does not work well for EVERYONE's interest if it just becomes an internet cage match. It might be entertaining, and not boring, but I think many here have higher goals, and we all know of other sites that have devolved to meet those needs, and so be it. Those that can't face the claim here of maybe being arrogant, stupid, or inciteful, etc, should utilize the ignore button as they see fit. They know best what criticism/scrutiny their ego will allow.

Cat killers (ANY animal abusers) deserve a special place in hell. Hopefully legal action has been taken. Maybe he'll get covid and die a slow death. Anyway....... Back to my friend. As I said, we worked together for awhile. He had gone on vacation, and during a slow time at work we decided to text him and ask if he missed us at work. We got the following picture texted back with a big HELL NO underneath it.  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/fvWN84H.jpg)

I actually agree with alot of that JCC, this... but I think many here have higher goals, and we all know of other sites that have devolved to meet those needs, and so be it. Ya got to remember the core of this site is for gear heads, and yes of all types. 99% here would be cigarette smokers and youd be in the 1% cigar smoker group At the same time if I really wanted the "Baller" drama, this isnt the place for the real hard core.Many other sites for that too. Sorry to go off topic, but I recently read an article on Drive (said car guys) and it wasnt mopar friendly, then I looked at thee staff page, go figure. I wasnt shocked then. So I guess we all just got to try to get along here.Or not. No disrespect to others, but I dont get the whole concept.
