I have to vent a little here. It seems lately that people have forgotten that this is a forum and that its open for public discussion on many topics no matter what your opinion is. You all have a right to an opinion and have a right to express that opinion and be be challenged on your opinion. The threads like the trident thread and the oil filter thread have really made me wonder what makes people tick. We have two great mods who allow us alot of room to talk and rarely step in but lately even they have come under attack when they hae felt the need to step in. It has to stop or this will just not be a fun place to visit anymore.
I think that the people who have been here a while just seem to have a thicker skin than those who haven't been here. You just have to know how to read some peoples posts and people with 100's of posts have left an imprint of their personality that people seem to forget about when they reply.
There seems to be a wide spread problem with posters when they get challenged by other posters. They get there defenses up and come out swinging instead of clarifying and discussing.
Truthfully its getting boring to see when certain posters make a post and the respondee gets all in a tizzle, makes a generalized comment about the forum then leaves in a fit. My 4 year old daughter doesnt throw temper tantrums like that so I would think that grown adults could handle a little ribbing and civilized debate.
The reason I am posting this is because it is getting really boring seeing the same posters getting flamed everytime they challenge someone or try and start some discussion. Everyone just take a step back and enjoy the forum and the very diverse knowledge and personality base that is here. Lets see if this thread can remain civilized......
