Ok, this is pissing me off. How old are we here? 5? Jesus christ guys, come on. Leanr how to discuss like adults, not insult each other like little kids. This is what i'm seeing too much o

member A: I like this car

member B: I like that car

member A: Your stupid, this car is way better than that car!

member B: No way, go look it up dumbass. That car is wayyyyy faster than this car.

member A: Grow a brain, this car is way better.

blah blah blah blah blah

Thats just insults. It's a pissing match. Grow up ALL OF YOU! Let me give you an example of how to do this:

member A: I like this car

member B: I like that car

member A: Interesting choice. I prefer this car because it does 0-60 in 5 seconds, and that car does 0-60 in 7.

member B: very true, but that car does .88 g's on the skipad, and this car only does .86 g's on the skidpad.

member A: I had no i dea. Thats very interesting. Do you have a website to find info like that?

member B: Sure, it's (enter website here)

member A: Why thank you. So i guess this all comes down to whether or not you like speed or handling. I like speed, and you like handling. I respect your opnion, and hope to debate with you in the future.

member B: Agreed.

Ok, so not that lame, but you get the point. You can argue without lowering yourself to insults. Please people, bring some intelligence and understanding back to this forum.

No offence Mopar68, but I was laughing through the whole time I read this. Even your thoughts (I don't know why though).

I would love to see some real examples of this...

We have respect between the currently established members, and regular posters, its just when new members that dont respect us come in, that our record... gets blemished.
