I wish I could but it's an anonymous program.Does anyone over here have a sense of humor? So much anger.After reading the thread about mechanical problems with the H2, I can understand why. I'll shut up now. I really thought you would find it amusing on some level.

I thought it was somewhat amusing. But considering the unjust and unrelenting bashing the H2 gets from tree huggers, it is no surprise to me if this thread gets really ugly. I am guessing here, but I believe that Tower was LMAO about the post by DRTYFN.

Well I guess thats another difference between liberals and people who live within the realms of reality.
It also might be because your first post on this board was about being a "gas hog". Then you follow it up by:

At least have the guts to be a nut bearing troll!
Oh, BTW I don't think Tower was giving YOU props  . |

My picture was funny. What, you didn't get the humor?
Hey, why did you delete the post? The responses would have been funny! Trust me.

I thought the original post was amusing, perhaps partly because of my familiarity (though not personal) with 12 step programs. I didn't take it as an affront against Hummers.
I thought the Penn avatar was hilarious! I can’t make out exactly which expletives he is using or if he is making a “size” demonstration with his fingers. The ambiguity makes it even funnier for me.
Boy, ya gotta have a thick skin around here. Especially if you're gonna bark with the big dogs!  |

Okay, I took another look and now realize he is saying "Shut the F@(% up!" I thought it was funnier before. Maybe ignorance really is bliss.

n2itnsd-
I never said anything about gashogs. I wrote this this morning and thought it was funny. I thought no group would be able to relate better than this one. My friends that own Hummers crack jokes all the time about how much gas they burn. It seems like a badge of honor or something. As I read the site, I came across the post where someone asked about who had alot of miles on their Hummer and if they had any trouble with them. I was shocked at how many people had experienced multiple problems with relatively low miles. I really didn't hope to upset anyone. I'm really not that kind of guy. I must have just run into a few agressive types having a bad day. I used to frequent sites with antagonistic members but I haven't frequented a site like that in a long time. If I came off as an ass, it was not my intention. Thank you to those that appreciated the humor.
