This nonsense has got to stop...

[DRTYFN]

See Deto-nut,
Grim and I used to be at each others' throats all the time. We eventually got over it and now PM back and forth every now & then in a very civil manner. If we lived closer we'd probably go 4xing together.
It's mystifying how you can continue to beat your thick head against the wall.

Ok, I'll help you out. Go stand in a doorway and turn to face the doorjam. Now firmly grasp the door jam with both hands. Quickly and vigorously smash your head into the doorjam until you have a massive subdermal hematoma on your forehead. And Voila!! You're banned. Oh... wait a second, that's not right. You're brain-damaged. oops, my bad.

Hey I got an idea, why dont we wake up, go to work, come home, sit down and shut the **** up. I can understand people not getting along and fighting and what-not, but it really seems this whole issue is consuming you all.

This whole board filled with this bull****, and DRTYFN and I talking in PM's getting along. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

I think that Jason's request is all that is needed. If there is a fight, take it to a PM. Period. end of story. That is whhat the involved parties in this debacle have done, just as Jason requested. The funny thing is that you guys would be so surprised how mellow that PM is... weird. I mean there isn't a "tub girl" or anything.

My personal opinion is that some of you guys are a tad bit uptight if that stuff bothered you so much, but what the hell, you are still good people. We all share a passion for the Hummer here, and that is what this site is about. But it would really be dry if that is all we talked about. there was a long period between trolls a long time ago where all that was said was stuff about our trucks. you know what? It was mostly negative comments about our own rides, and there were comments back then about how crappy the forum had become and how negative everything was. Then trolls showed up and people got to bash them and things were better. be careful what you guys wish for.

That was minutes you couldn't go without the name calling, after it was just asked again that it be cut out.

Jesus, do you ever know when to shut up?
You are without a doubt the single biggest hypocrite crybaby I've ever seen.

These sort of things have a way to work themselves out, always did and this one has. Jason's minimum management style works well. Being a Hummer site, not a Cadillac or Oldsmobile site, that is just part of the character and the rough edges come with a Hummer.

I causually mentioned to my wife yesterday, "there's an ugly fight at the Hummer forum". She said "don't they always?" Indeed, indeed, always. Maybe just higher volumn now and then.

I like Argo's idea or whoever came up with it. I think picking on each other and spirited conversations make this forum interesting. But when something gets overly offensive, the thread gets moved to a new area called the "steel cage" or the "children's forum". Jason decides which threads go there, it's his site. Problem solved.

[argonaut]

Oh no, not the doritos lady... Blech!

[MAC]

If I remember it correctly, I had maybe less than 2-3 posts in Oct (Biz travel), 3-4 days no posts last week and many weeks, and have been at most only 0-1-2 posts a day for few months(too busy). Frankly don't know how it added up to 2,500. My guess they came from early months rapid fire posts as chat room conversation, we used to do that a lot, 4-5 people posted faster than you can read them.

As for sticking to Hummer ONLY.
1- What made us friends or enemies is not the Hummer stuff but non-Hummer bull****. That is the glue that kept us together.
2- 99% of the Hummer stuff have been said 100 times. I have been a good sport, never complain about reposts(most are), and I talked about the same old subjects dutifully.
3- If you are only interested in strictly Hummer talk, just don't click on other topics, or move on when you see non-Hummer BS. No need to not allow others to BS.

DRTY,

I tried it...and the Dain Bramage worked!!!

Now, when I read the posts on here I see secret codes....you are all CIA spys secretly sending messages via these stupid, neck-biting, childish, low IQ posts!!

Oh...I also see dead-people...is that a side effect? or did I hit my head on the door jam TOO long??

[argonaut]

Here is my take on this. I really agree with jason that all of these serious fights need to be kept private. I also really appreciate the fact that you try to stay out of most everything here. The one reason that i really love this site is that Jason lets threads go on and work themselves out. Unlike most mods out there, he isn't imposing his will on anybody. That is a very respectable quality, and has made this site my favorite place. Alec, I don't think Jason wants this to be a sterile H2 only site, I think he wants us to have fun, but aside from just making fun of each other, things build up and get out of hand like this detonate thing.

I don't think banning people is a solution to anything. In fact i think it is just childish to do. That is, unless somebody really becomes a detriment to the community and really makes this a bad place. Trolls that are offensive, people doing unauthorized sales pitches, etc. This fight was trending that way. I'm glad Jason put his foot down in the way he did. We all need to respect this and if we want to fight we need to do it in PMs.

Somebody suggested a "Steel cage match" area of the forum. that was actually a good idea. All of this type of crap and Troll threads and the like could be moved there. Thatway people who want a more sterile site can stay away from that area. Not a bad idea IMHO.

Regradless, Jason, you have a great website here. It is full of great H2 info, pics, videos, and stories. It also is a great place to socialize with newfound friends that share a passion for the H2. Congrats on running such a great forum, and once again I greatly respect/appreciate your hands off approach.

[Detonate]

That's why I'm saying forget everything in the past. Start fresh. That way there is no excuses.

You just saw how effective your speach was. I made absolutely no mention of anyone. Just trying to resolve this, and he busts out with the name calling.

What I dont understand is how you H2 people can be at eachother's throats, while a punk kid with an S10 can get by without being told off. You guys need to work on your priorities.

[Detonate]

You such a douche bag, Alec. You think that just because you went to Moab everyone should bow down to you. That's why you threw that little hissy fit last night when things weren't going your way.

I love the little cry baby act you have going here. It suits you.
