I consider this a very informative site. I learn a lot that dealers, and even other owners don't know. There's a disturbing aspect to this site though, and that's the complete lack of civility. No one minds a little ribbing, nudging, chain yanking. That kind of adds the spice of life. What disturbs me, and is running people off that would be a huge asset to this forum is the juvenile attacks and name calling. The big picture of this forum is beginning to take on the appearance of a bunch thirteen year olds yelling at each other at a skate park.

Is this the world you want to live in? Is this how you want people to view you? Not everyone here is that way, so if you're not, there's no reason to get ruffled. If you DO take offense to this, well, it's your forum too, just figure that you get what you put into it.

I seriously doubt that the potty mouth kiddies around here are that way in real life, they couldn't afford the dental bills or loneliness that would ensue.

I quit reading and posting on the MiniUSA forums because it was clearly populated, for the most part, radical left winged nut jobs that were very pious about driving a small car and how messed up SUV owners were. The barrage was constant. The sexual content was constant too. It was evident to me that there were too many young'uns that hadn't seen a boob, or were such social outcast that they were never really likely to either because that's all they ever talked about. Their vocabulary was stunted also because they wrote like sixth graders f that and the like. Yawn.... Towering intellects they were not.

So, wanna attack, be a cyber snot, be a name calling twit, go ahead. You'll certainly be in the company of like kind.

Yup, I can leave. If the kids don't calm down, it's likely. I'm not the only one I bet.

Huck........these types of "mission statements" generally go over like a turd in a punchbowl. A lot of the folks that get railed out of the forum are troll like in both information and stature. they deserve it.

just from my observations.

EVERY single person that gets ribbed and takes it in the context it was meant gets along fine with everyone here. The people with no back bones are the one's that run off.

Which are you?

Here's a link to my favorite example, H2Finally, a very well respected member of this forum took it on the chin when he came here because of this thread:
http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/5106011751/m/7...636075755#7636075755

Again, he's one of the most respected members on this forum, but he waded through 6 pages of razzing to get there.

True. Those kinds of statements show weakness.

After pontificating your intelectual findings about our Hummer enclave, I would like to be the first to say GFY!



Not all grown men like to squeez wood... And even a sixth grader knows how to use a thesaurus!

I'm sure you'll be missed.

Honestly, this site was around for years before you (or I, for that matter) joined. WTF gives you the right to try to mandate what goes on here.

If you can't take it, then maybe it would be best if you left. Personally, my advice would be to sack up and quit your whining.

It's ok. That's why it's called an internet "community". There are all types of personalities. Like any community, though, people can come and go as they like.

Give me a ****ing break! Take the stick out of your ass and have a little fun.

Don't you think it's ironic that you bash the people on your other stupid forum for not acting the way you like and now want to bash others on THIS forum for acting a different way?

By the way, I don't act the same way in a business meeting as I do when playing with my 4 year old. So why is it something that people "act" differently here. If you don't like the venue, change the channel.

There are a number of posters who suffer from arrested emotional development. They can be hilarious...if you're 12. Especially those who feel compelled to use increasingly crude and coarse sig pics.

There are a number of posers who suffer from petulance. They can be a bore.... no matter what age. Especially when trying to condescend.

WOW- what a bunch of asses on this site!

Huck has every right to his opinion and should feel free to post without being verbally assaulted (just the thing he was talking about)

For the most part what he says is true- this site should be about HUMMERS- not personal attacks, porn or idiotic ramblings. There are plenty of other sites that for that ****.

HE HAS A RIGHT, but no one else does?

Idiot. It's like saying he has a right to walk down the street without protesters protesting with signs telling him he's stupid.

Here we go again.............

my 2 cents (well actually .01),,,,,

i remember reading a post "ryans story" or something which talked about how a guys son loved the hummers so much and when he finally bought one his son went nuts. my son, he is 4. he also loves the hummer i bought. heres where i am trying to go....i look at it this way, the hummer to me is a way of in some sorts being different. not conforming to what others may think is correct. its kind of like a way for me to not really "grow up". when driving it i feel like a kid again. it feels good.


same way i feel when on this site. its fun. yes, i do and have learned a lot but it is also fun. a way to unwind with others who maybe dont want to grow up. all day long i have to conform in the office. but when the days done, i get in my hummer and forget about "conforming" and can be a "kid". this site has been a blast for me. hell, my son loves it as well. just take it for what it is. if you dont like it, go to another site. but PLEASE, do not try and make members who wish to be here and who like the status quo to conform to what you think this site SHOULD be.....

just my 1.5 cents worth...please be gentle drty

i like gettin messed with its part of the HUMMER experience now get over it and post some meaningless BS

I think it has all been said before and I have to agree, I come here for the fun at least as much for the info. Hell, like someone pointed out, I had Guru status before I even owned a Hummer

Lighten up and you can have fun. If you want a site that is STRICTLY Hummer information go to hummer.com and you are set.

That site's boring you Guru poser.

Lets see hummer owners are well lets say A Different Breed. So with that said what would you expect? me ? THIS

So bash me please I can take it and kick your ass

LMAO

SWEEEET! Can you provide a link?

LMAO. He'll spend about two days looking at this thread, waiting for that "he's right, we need him back" theme to emerge. Sorry bud. Not gonna happen.

But before you leave, I have some tube steps for sale if you're interested:

It looks like yet another Thought-Nazi has surfaced. There’s always someone who (after they are offended by something they see, hear or read) feels the compulsion to curtail whatever has insulted them. It never fails that this is inevitably done in the name of the greater good of the majority.


That's a stellar idea Huck. If you don’t like what you read, then don’t read it.

You guys are Brutes! Brutes, I tell you! I'm running away!!!!!!! Now!!!! I'm going to start my own Hummer forum, and it's all going to be nicey-nicey and flowery. You can find it at delicate.flower.hummer.com. People will use more smiley faces and frowny faces will be strictly prohibited. New members will be required to go through an extensive, yet caring, regimen of sensitivity training. Flowers, love, and Hummers will be the themes.

with a name like marinehawk....i would never have taken you as a pillow biter

What about my 3 years of hazing? Not necessarily a "respected member"...but I am still here none the less.

It has been this way since day 1. If you dont like it the get the fu%& out of here.

I used to be resilient until recently. But all of this merciless, inhuman verbal violence has broken me down and turned me into a sulking, vulnerable child. I tell you, I just can't take all this abuse! Run away!!!

The H3 is definately brings out the softer side of Hummer and their owners

Sounds like you need a good swift kick to your soft side.

I've learned more things about my H3 on this site than in the owners manual. Without Fstop's technical knowledge I would have **&$%&^ed at the door panels taking them off to Dynamat, because of the hidden screw by the door lever. The Hummer evokes strong responses from people, the H2 owners I'm sure take a lot more than we do because they are larger and more in your face styling wise than the H3. What gets me is a lot of tree huggers drive machines made overseas and say very little about taking jobs away from Americans. I think everyone on this board has been insulted in some way once or twice - take the source into consideration, remember Dan Rather & Peter Jennings, probably 14 years old, and some people are just frustrated Hummer Wannabes.
Hummer drivers like going offroad in much higher percentage than any other SUVs - that's the way we are.

yer already fu@#ed, you live in a blue state . . . now go back to playing in the mud and shut yer piehole.

(how was that?)

These posts always crack me up. If you can't roll with the punches then you better not come here. It is, without a doubt, the most informative Hummer forum I know. Plus, it has some very fun people to boot. There's always some little bit of bad that comes with all the good.

Yeah I'm new..But it sounds like to me that some of you guys need a "<span class="ev_code_RED">hummer</span>", and I don't mean the one with 4 wheels...

... ...wellllllllllll

if ur offering

GOOD GIRL

Hey, South Riding Va....I work in Ashburn for Pulte Homes....What a co-inky-dink...LOL

There is another point here . You complain about how Hummer is viewed by public such as in the Canada thread .

You dont think your own actions on a Hummer board helps set the tone ?

I make use of several boards , iv found he who knows the least runs there mouth the most .

I notice f5 is no smart allick on the baord yet has the most knowledge that i have seen . Get the point !

Iv also noticed if you dont agree with every thing then your punced on with names and acusations that are unfounded . Great sign of intelect
