I suppose I'll have to throw in my 2-cents here:
It's one thing to be clever, tease and have some rough fun.....but this stuff has well crossed the line and become embarrassing & disgusting.
I don't really know what Jim did to get on so many people's ****-list. He's always been a straight-shooter and an offroad enthusiast...the only thing I've ever noticed is that he (like many others here) tends to be a bit blatant and perhaps shares a bit more of his feeling/thoughts then some might care to hear.
I'm sure I must have missed some stuff...but still, you have to look at it over the long run: he's solid, a regular and didn't deserve to be burned as hard as he was.
My thought: respond to those you like and care about...ignore those you don't. Makes me wonder why MAC never responds to me anymore?????
Last thought. I own my own company. When I meet with lawyers, business owners and other educated people I tend to be more formal and repsresent myself as an intellect with some education and a bit of class (you know....try to fool them). At the same time, I have to work with my workers and come down to a ghetto mantality where we talk like we're wanna-be rappers living in the hood. Bottom line: we are all capable of presenting ourselves as we see fit.
Over the last couple months I've watched the forum relax and mellow. Some of this is good and what Alec is talking about...we feel closer, talk more openly and give eachother some teasing. At the same time....we've also introduced some nasty elements that are rather distasteful...it's become like the Jeeper Forum. The sexual references have gone from "R" rated to hardcore & disgusting. We've completely departed from clever & witty to just nasty & disgusting. I don't have to elaborate....I think we all know darn well what I'm talking about.
Damn this horse is high!
