I simply cannot take it anymore!

I agree, but at the same time, stop setting yourself up for the ridicule. Please. :D
When I object and point out that its wrong to the point of being shameful to publicly demean a young woman and remember this is a very younger person that all she is good for is oral sex, simply because she has trouble making change at some fruit and vegetable store, im not the least bit concerned about anyone ridiculing me
 
" ...once again, if you're annoyed, stop reading."
Physician, heal thyself.
As much as you've the right to be annoyed with our boy on his "corrective posts" (without apparently seeing
the humor with which they're delivered), he can be annoyed at the various and sundry butchering of the language
we're all part and parcel of.
Of course, you could simply "stop reading" his posts if they rankle you this much, eh?

Lookit, y'all.
Methinks some are protesting too much here...much ado about nothing.
We all know one of Greg's trademarks - part of his admittedly sometimes warped sense of humor -

is to play "Grammar Nazi".
You think it's amusing or you don't; you're tired of it or not, but I'd hazard
a guess a lot of you
would also think something was drastically wrong at this point if he simply stopped doing it too, eh?

It certainly doesn't warrant all the fuss here - and I defy anyone to say the man hasn't been quite the
positive contributor to this forum over the years, either.
We all know of examples who are still allowed to be here despite their contributing NOTHING positive
to the forum and being quite destructive in the process, after all...
My two cents - keep the change. :thumbsup:

The response was addressed to the masses not directed to anyone in particular.

But I find it quite amusing that you have to jump in and defend someone's "positive contributions" to the website . . . Did you feel that the suggestions were pointed at someone in particular? Apparently so since you did respond.

I wonder why . . . (Not really)

For someone that has "backed off" of this type of action., he's sure expending a lot of time and energy into proving his point and trying to build a case to justify these types of actions . . .

We are here to discuss cars, if you feel the need to correct people's spelling or grammar, go find a Grammar-ly site and have at it . . .
 
There might be peace on earth if everyone just grew their own tomatoes.

Then again there could be tomato wars.
Let's call the whole thing off...
 
The irony is, if the younger folk were reading this thread, you know, the ones who supposedly don't know **** from shinola, they'd be like "have a look at these old guys - arguing all the time, can't spell for ****, and they are running the country! What hope is there for us?"

Thanks Larry for putting it all in the proper perspective.
 
Went to KFC a few years back, before ordering I asked the young girl if they could cash a $100 bill. She asked her manager who then ‘looked’ at me, said ok. Food cost $8.80 so the girl started counting the change, then in a wad handed it to me and said “I know it’s right I counted 3 times” I paused then counted it myself, she had given me $141.20 back! I then said you made a mistake, she gave me a dirty look and called the manager, I handed the manager ‘the wad’ to count, she got red in the face, thanked me and said she would have a talk with the young lady. Most would have left with the extra money but I knew it would’ve come out of her check and I would be the bad guy.
 
I bought some tomatoes today, the kind still attached to the vine in bunches of four or five.. They were $1.19/lb (Canadian).
 
Brother, I've BEEN in the middle of this conversation already - but since you've just arrived, I can see
where you'd have made that mistake (among others)....
Yes, I will always defend those that warrant it, here or elsewhere - especially when it's quite apparent
someone is cherry picking/sniping from a position of "authority", which you've a history of doing.

I'll go ahead and state the obvious again though, in hopes that it sink in a bit better this time:
KD is a proven long-time positive contributor to FBBO. A quick search will prove as much.
Yes, his persona on here is one of being sometimes obnoxious (including the "Grammar Nazi" schtick) -
but we all know that it's part of the fun (and I'm sure those who truly find it too much to tolerate just
"stop reading" without so much as a mutter).

Forums like FBBO simply cannot exist without positive contributors (like KD) who consistently provide
compelling content, nor can they live without financial support - which KD also participates in.
Now, what kills public forums on the net?
- Lack of funding - which usually follows lack of participation - which usually follows lack of compelling content.
- Absentee owners, who all but abandon ship in pursuit of the next fortune or whatever
- Overbearing moderators, borne out of a lack of ability to remain impartial, oftentimes running off the
"good ones" with their personal vendettas

But hey, I'm just spreading your words of wisdom here, no biggie.
See, I'll do it again right now....
YOU could simply "stop reading" MY own posts if they rankle you this much, eh?
Pearls of wisdom, man.
Wells me up over here, I swear.... :rolleyes:
I go to shows and sometimes meet FBBO members. I joke that I half expect to get punched in the face but so far, every one of them comes up to me with a smile and a common belief of what I write.
There are people that have opinions but choose not to express them. I am not that guy.
I'm like the drunk guy that tells the truth despite it sometimes being hard to hear....only I rarely ever drink. I don't smoke. I don't use any illegal drugs. I don't have kids so when I encounter someone on a forum that needs help, it feels good to give them helpful advice.
Regarding Ed's words above, I agree with all of it. I especially agree with the part about what kills a forum. There is another forum that used to be the 800 lb Gorilla on the internet but now is but a shadow of its former self. It has suffered a strong drop in traffic for the reasons that Ed mentioned. Good contributing members got tired of how the site was being ran and one by one, the guys with the most to offer just quit coming around. I still scroll through but once I got a feel for this place, I made it my Home Base.
"I can't take it anymore" is the title of this thread, one that has deviated from the original point quite a bit. Imagine that.....

For the record Steve, the young woman I was referring to was the one in the video who couldn't understand how long it would take to drive 80 miles at 80 mph, not the cashier.

To quote you....
"I’m really disappointed in you" for jumping to the wrong conclusion.

Sites like this need the KD's and the Steves.
I respect both personalities. This particular
section of the forum 'general' means just
that. We wouldn't be here if we couldn't
debate differences. All here have
knowledge to share. Wether it's from
dealing with a young inexperienced
teenagers who can't make the correct
change, or the old guy who has a
wealth of knowledge for Mopars,
one must
