....you cause me stress. Um, yeah!

You remind me of this place here in Oregon......outside of Salem, in a town called Rickreall.

There's a lovely view of the Willamette Valley countryside and of the Coast Range. However, in Rickreall is a rather large dairy operation.

So, while its a beautiful view.......there is a good amount of a stink.

Substitute the FAQ for the view and you for the stink and
there you have it.

I still love the view, despite the distraction. Might be better w/out the distraction.....but not a whit of stress.

In any case, I hope some of my points were valid. No pruning if you post. original threads still in the search etc...etc...

Jerry

Horray for Dyslexia.... I read that as "Grass Pants" the first time...

And I rather like H_kiss_ass. Clever, with just a hint of scathing to it. 6.5 out of 10.

Esty,

Its Rob's fun little project and he can make the rules. Oh, the horror. If you or I or anyone else doesn't like the rules, you can leave and start your own board. Fill it with as much sh*t and useless information as you want. If you want to preserve a real juicy topic for posterity's sake, post it to your blog. Wait, you've done that.

And it has probably been mentioned before to you and the others who use these forums as your own sound board for things damn near completely unrelated to 2002s, but the "if you don't like it, don't read it" theory falls apart when your nastiness invades a large percentage of the threads. It shouldn't be my "obligation" to avert my eyes when I see trouble any more than it is my "obligation" to dodge bullets shot by a lunatic in my own backyard.

Respond, or don't, because I don't give a shit.

Thanks,

Benz

dude, what drugs are you taking....i doubt seriously....no, i know for a fact, aside from here, which was made as the appropriate and seperate place, i've not salted anyones threads...you're imagining that because it's easier to accept that reality?

and in as much as this is a seperate and distinct sub-forum, one doesn't have to try to divert bullets....you chose to drive smack dab thru the middle of the gang war in compton.....you did...you're in the drivers seat, correct?


and....please, you and others, telling people you aren't fond of to leave just doesn't work....trust me...i've been emailing george bush & donald rumsfeld telling them to leave, almost 7 years now, to no avail

thanks dude for the compliment.....it suits me to see that someone around this joint has good judgment and isn't afraid to wade thru the blood & guts of this sewer to express it

Auto pruning? Great! I could use some auto pruning - I own eight cars (and three trailers), so thanks for the help. We could start by selling the '82 Celica, and then . . .

Oh, oops, sorry, wrong venue - I need the "for sale" forum. My bad.

(a) You'll note that I directed my comments at you AND others. Sometimes you instigate, sometimes you just respond. Either way, those comments find their way into the normal forums.

(b) Everyone can argue ad infinium about whether you or Al started the stupid carpet wars, whether you were right to call him out or if he was right to see that as a "personal attack."

(a) Moron, didya see that I was mainly pissed that you can't keep your nasty comments in this sub-forum. I could care less what you say in here, but the point is to keep it away from the positive and helpful posts. So yes, I did brave the dangers of Compton in an effort to tell you and the Bloods / Crips / other idiots to stay the fuck out of Beverly Hills and the Valley.

unfortunately benz....this blood lives in the valley....chatsworth, on a hilltop.....

moral of the story....it's life, live with it or move to pittsburgh

Good comeback. Your standard retort of "don't look" or "you can always leave" or "I can do what the F I want and it shouldn't bother you" misses the point. Isn't it funny how, when people politely or impolitely suggest that YOU leave or YOU calm down or YOU knock it off, you take huge amounts of offense and climb higher on your soap box.

Just proves how invaluable you are to these boards and how dedicated you are to contributing in a positive manner.

fuzzy logic mr benz...i'm just giving them what they want..or expect....you, me, everyone that posts anything on the web does so to provoke a response...it's those threads you post that have no comments that are disappointments...it wouldn't be very entertaining or informative if no one ever responded to the other......would it......tell me i'm wrong




and....me take offense.....never mr benz, never

Thanks for proving my point. :)

I think a great "entertaining" reply would be "I will at least consider what other people think before I post things solely intended to provoke a reply." Nothing fuzzy about that.

And before you comment that you don't have any obligation to think about what other people think, I will concede that point.

Benz

mr benz....i concede...i'm just a stupid blonde.....what would you like me to do...

what would you have to talk about here, if i wasn't talking about something that caused you to react...

there must be some value in it, we're here, talking about it...



whatever it is
