There is a simple solution to dealing with those you don't care for, or who seem to enjoy attacking people. Use your ignore list. I've added one person already to my list. They and their posts no longer appear on my screen. I'm still happy, they're still bitchy. Everyone wins.

Someone on the N Shore has the license plate "Why Work". I think it was on an SL. Liked it so much that I applied for it years later but it was still taken (guess he hasn't gotten a job yet).

haha lets wait and see lol. I play a game called Everquest2 and accidently put my guild leader on ignore not because he was annoying or anything just because he was having a lengthy discusson on an open channel.... however I forgot to remove him from the list. After a few days I got a nasty-gram (email) from him we laugh about it now though!

Good to see Dennis back.

And now we have another example of no good deed (or post) going unpunished.

How about lighten up instead of toughen up??

This whole thread, and the tone of this quickly turning unfriendly and uninformative forum, is a natural result of a small group trying diligently to enforce their view of what's relevant and proper upon a public community. Repeatedly criticizing others for just having fun and asking innocent questions that don't live up to some subjective/personal standard.

I spent 4 years on Rennlist 993 Board, one of the tightest and most knowledgeable communities I've experienced. While I've seen this pattern before (basic social dynamics are not that different here), I am amazed that more people on this forum don't seem to object to the tone and tenor permeating this Board in recent weeks, and what that's doing to the value of your community.

Let's all lighten up and let everyone enjoy their cars and this community again. If some ask inane or god forbid gramatically flawed questions so be it. Let some of the newer members, who just recently were the one's asking those same possibly redundant questions, answer. It's about helping one another, remember? Personal crusaders are just as malignant as trolls, just more insidious and harder to spot.
