You may have guessed that my alias there is "Misterme".
I've also been frustrated mainly by some members there that not only dislike hybrid vehicles but also dislike hypermilers and spread false rumours.
A couple of months ago I posted a few tips for improving MPG, things like keep momentum, keep a good buffer to the car ahead, etc. Nobody took any of the mild tips to heart that I know of, and instead blindly called me a rude, unfriendly driver and dangerous to others.
Because of that I refuse any more tips over there, I don't need the hastle.
It's kind of sad that I can't help anyone at that site who may wish to improve their habits, and not be able to post any hint of a reference to any other forum site, and especially greenhybrid.
I'll still post there once in a while but really turned off to it.
Simlarly,
I no longer visit or post over at hybridcars.com as it has been hijacked by some environmental nuts who will gladly threaten you and your family with a shooting spree if you disagree with them. I mentioned the problems I have with Kyoto and immediately was stamped & labeled as a pro-Bush, Righ-wing hateful stupid crazy person by quite a few members there.
I asked the administrator there to remove the threatening posts and he did, but didn't even offer an apology that it happened, or that it might (or might not be) against the site policy or anything.
I'm thankful for the respectable community here at greenhybrid regarding all views, instead of taking an extreme political position on either side and forcing it.
Greenhybrid has the "cream of the crop" of hybrid enthusiasts and I think is a real threat to other associated forums.
