Me too, I don't think anyone has their feelings hurt. I just think it's disingenuous to claim that, "All good. Difference strokes for different folks. PDK just bores the crap out of me," is an expression of mutual respect.

There is nothing disingenuous about it at all, because it is exactly how I feel.

Pretending that it's respectful is absolutely disingenuous. I'm done here.

1. I'm not pretending.

2. Being disingenuous means not being candid or sincere. I am without question being candid, and I know whether or not I'm being sincere, not you (and I am being sincere).

Being interested in why some of you are coming out of your loafers on this, I asked several car guys I know what they would think if I opined to them that PDK bored the crap out of me. None of them were pulsed at all by my opinion (three of them own Porsche's with PDK). They asked me if their opinion that the turbo lag on my 911 bored the crap out of them bothered me or was something I considered "disrespectful". I said "Not at all". They said the responses to my opinion here sounded like things Millennials would say; Millennials many times exhibiting more of a "wearing your feelings on your sleeve" attitude, being personally hurt by things like using the "wrong" gender pronouns, and judging that people with different opinions are generally not allowed. If different opinions are presented then they must be presented in a way that there is no possibility that anyone hearing them could be offended, threatened, or disrespected. I doubt any of you are Millennials, but Millennial behavior can reach across age groups. I'd bet Carlo is not a Millennial, but he just has a personal issue with me and rarely passes up an opportunity to attack in personal terms.

No one's feelings were hurt, we're just calling you out on your ignorant post that contributed nothing to the discussion at hand.

So not liking PDK is "ignorant"? Really? Talk about not being respectful.

And as I laid out earlier, I was not the first or only person posting here about PDK. If you have an issue with discussing PDK, then bring it up with the other posters who commented on it as well.

My goodness you must have reading comprehension issues. Your ignorance is in condemning the 991TTS, a car you clearly have never driven, as boring solely on the bases of it having PDK.


And since I am claravouant, and you are such a boring and predictable troll with comprehension issues your response to above will be, "I never wrote that". Sorry, you did.

It's ignorant for you to say that I condemned the 991 Turbo S. I did no such thing. Talk about a lack of reading comprehension. I didn't condemn the 991 Turbo S, I simply said that PDK bores me.

I never said the 991 Turbo S was boring.

BTW, how's that shoe leather tasting?

I clicked on this to see why there were so many pages...what a sh*t storm... really guys come on. Hey Carlos...why don't you just ignore Dock's posts...I believe you can set this in the User CP. Dock is hardly a troll...he was here long before you.

Who is Carlos? And what does it matter how long someone has been here?

It's called reading comprehension. Something you clearly do not understand. And man my clairvoyant capabilities are spot on.

Agreed, Dock is annoying and any thread he enters derails into him being a dick to some random user who hasn't yet learned that he's a troll.

Doesn't matter how long he's been doing it, he's in the wrong.

This is what forums are all about..This crap happens on EVERY forum I've ever been on for just about any topic.

Keyboard BadA$$'s crave this type of back and forth. Heck, I've been involved in my fair share over the last 15 years as well. lol

As you were Gentlemen!
