One of the smartest things that I've seen you say within this thread, NCSU. I *highly* suggest that you consider why you're here and realign yourself to stay here. If you're not interested in productive participation, you should probably find another site and stay there.

You're walking a razor's edge with your recent posting... opinions are fine and I encourage them; being INTENTIONALLY abrasive is entirely different thing and I will deal with it in an entirely different way.

Not taking any sides here or heck, not even commenting on the caliper covers...but I am really surprised this has not yet been locked. On the same token, I am surprised this is the first "heated" thread discussion I have seen since my join date. Credit to all who have been men/ladies in their discussions and not being too rude to each other. This has gone so far better than I expected. Basically, props to F150online's moderators, and as a whole for operating so well.

I agree. However, everyone hear me out. I'm fairly new to this site, not in reading, but in actual posting and joinging (I just would read the forums at first). Now I may be young (18), but I'm not dumb and I would like to post some things I've noticed. I find many forums are too arguementative, which is precisely why I didn't post for many months. My dad warned me way back and reffered to a site he used to use ( a fishing/boating one) and mentioned how eventually it became very vocal and arguementative thus, he left it. Now I apologize if I am out of place, and BY NO MEANS is this aimed at anyone in particular, just in general. I think people get too comfortable when talking on these sites. Guys, most of us don't "know" each other and probably never will except by our screen name thingys. With that being said, we need to treat each other with respect and watch how we say things especially where "how we say it" cannot be understood when reading typed letters and words. I love this site to death and the people are great, but sometimes we get out of hand and that is something just to consider. After all, don't we just want to kick back and talk about our Fords

Pretty well said for a youngun. I would appreciate those thoughts from anyone, but even more so from such a youthful member. Over and over, I see people say "it's the internets, get over it" or "don't take it personal, it's just the internet" and I have never understood that way of thinking. Why would you conduct yourself any differently on the internet than you would face to face? Why would you lie or be discourteous, etc, just because someone can't see you?

Here's to you, truckguy. Only 18 years old, but obviously use more logic and common sense then some adults in this thread. You seem like a good guy, so here's to you.

Thanks man, I appreciate it. It's just fustrating watching infantile behavior, someone trashed my truck on another site a few days earlier, so it made me mad that we have the same issue here sometimes. I made a thread about the guys stupidity.
