Remember when I said don't E36 M3 on the floor? You're E36 M3ing on the floor.

I was just trying for a joke. Go ahead and delete if need be.

Legit joke/terrible timing/doesn't deserve its own thread.

we're more "poking" fun … but using it as gentle reminders … it'll take a while for some behavioral antics to smooth out …

the sense of humor that can be expressed on here by most of our posters, is wonderful …just, sometimes the timing can be a bit off …

Meh, I thought the original post was funny. Ironically, though, "number of outrages at things people find offensive" is an even thicker book, but the professionally outraged-at-the-outrage don't find that funny. (Though I think they're hilarious if you ignore the fact they're trolls.)

Not Datsun1500. That better? wrote: If the first post is somehow "crossing the line" you guys are way too sensitive. I guess it's time to only post about car stuff and only if you agree with the path the project is going. If you see a mod that is questionable, don't point it out as you might upset the guy that's building the car.

you're not helping yourself … name change doesn't change a thing … and the snarkyer you get .. the more it's going to hurt

I've read your posts for yrs .. I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to get this … for some reason you just can't back off … think about it … pick how you want this to go

I've been on this board for years. For the first time, I'd not recommend this board to others. Not one post in particular, but about the general feel. Oh, and a few posters in particular.

Wasn't that back when alcohol and women voting were considered offensive?

I call BS. There were many long lists of things considered offensive in 1930 and lots of people bothered by them. Most of us are just not old enough to remember. Here are few that I know of.

  • Sex or intimacy between anyone other than a married couple of the same race, religion and age range done for the purpose of having children.
  • Talking about sex.
  • Curse words used anywhere but a bar, factory or shipyard.
  • People of color doing anything other the most menial jobs outside specific segregated neighborhoods.
  • Any religious expression not from some offshoot of Protestantism.

For the baby boomers here, start listing the things your parents and grand parents took offense to. I'll bet we can fill a pretty big book.

You'll need to log in to post.
