anyone else feel afraid to post because of getting flammed? seems like several people on here live to find a reason to flame you. "you have a f150 and your sixteen? mommy and daddy must work hard" "you take your truck offroad? you must treat it like crap" "your lifted/lowered truck is now worthless" "your under twenty one and drink? your immature" let it go poeple. get a life. sorry i have the flu and am not in the best of moods. i just read the posts about that kids wrecked civic and they are tearing him up.
I've been posting here for ten years and I started when I was 16 years old.
This place is brutal.

It's best to avoid such charged phrases like "You're and idiot and God is a fraud." Much better to word it something like "You're burdened with excessive mental challenges and God is a figment of your imagination.".
That way you can avoid offending someone.

I agree, people get a little rude sometimes..with that being said, this is the real world, people are going to say things that you don't like, learn to deal with it...better yet, learn to counter-attack them with something that cuts them deeper

Today it's kewl to be krewl, and some are very good at. They use their literary talent to bully those less fortunate than themselves in the name of entertainment and furthering their own popularity, sort of like an uncivilized society right here in the middle of civilization.
Back in the day when men were men, a spade was a spade, and respect and discipline were valued, we had a forum set aside called 'bullroar' where the abusive display of literary talent was encouraged and the adage was: 'If you can't take the heat then get out of bullroar' and those who hijacked threads by using their writing skills to distracting attention away from the subject, were told to 'take it to bullroar'

The best way to avoid most attacks is to not post stupidity. A lot of posts are just begging for a response from wiser, more experienced minds. Occasionally, there will be personal attacks, and insults will not be tolerated regardless of how deserving the poster might be.
