Stop attempting to bring it back by doing things such as searching old posts.



Which is it "respect", or "flame-bait"?

Since you called me out with your,

I've decided I'd go ahead and post my PM to you that you couldn't keep private.

My speculation is the hummer driver may have thrown a pass your way, and certainly had a place to take you, but found you unreceptive. Those situations can always be tense.

The thread became about you because you made a wild speculation about the motives of someone else, and freely stereotype others based on your own prejudices. You initiated the attack with your first post. Then you bent over backwards to expand Chilly's simple speculation into a "side". There was no "other side" in the conversation, just you trying to sidetrack your prejudiced statements.

It baffles me that you Delta Flyer continue to make attacks, claim others are upset, angry or shouting, blame others for getting off topic, demand others get back on topic, call flame-baiting, call close-minded and in general treat anyone that has a different prospective as though they aren't welcome here.

By every measure you made an *** out of yourself. None of your other side info about an acura driver, or Arnold, or aspertame or whatever you call "concessions" had any relevance.

A simple "yeah your right, I don't know what the guy was thinking, I may have projected my own prejudice, and thought I was being funny" would have been appropriate.

Nice job getting the thread closed, I hope a mod pm'd you about your conduct.

I actually contemplated PMing a copy to Jason, He got a copy anyways.

Then you stoop to this last post.

This type of stereotyping is simply HATE. Apparently this type of HATE is fine and morally justified around here. Why is an excellent forum with access to hybrid and FE enthusiasm allowed to be smeared by such prejudism?
