Thank you for looking after it and us. Lawrie |
Re: Manners... A new rule... There are always a few in every crowd - and in most companies. I'm always amazed at our ability to put up with them and usually for far too long. We spend more time trying to justify why they're here, than they do on thinking about what they say and how they say it.
No matter how smart you are, experienced or fortunate (to own a bunch of cool shit), if your a negative and vindictive person - you do more harm in the end than good. Be positive, be cool - or shut the heck up. I say, flush em . . . and THANKS for doing so! |

Re: Manners... A new rule... There is some room for misunderstanding. Ryan PM'd me in reprimand for referring to a celebrity poster, from Waco Texas as Waco guy, not wacko. Correct spelling and grammar not considered. The reference I thought was a great tongue in cheek responding to being called every kind of SOB. A bit of a disappointment. Fred A

In any case, you know what makes online arguments such a big problem in general? People feel the need to "retaliate" to trolls that call them names. Ultimately, this is what the original poster wants... as it ends up in causing drama. To avoid this, if someone attacks you - don't respond. Instead, just press the "report" button. Problem solved. |
Re: Manners... A new rule... Ryan,
I'm glad you've clarified the expanded use of the "Report" button. Up to now, I thought it was just to alert the moderators about threads on "Eastern-European Diet Aids" and such that sometimes pop up in the middle of the night. I don't remember seeing this when I first joined, but I'm glad to see it now. Tubman |
Re: Manners... A new rule... I like than plan...... keeps things civil...... now if we could just get some damn "Ford Barn" t-shirts !!!!........ sorry boss...... I had to...... Mark

Re: Manners... A new rule... I agree, it does not take any more effort to be polite, in a disagreement. It gets frustrating though to hear of the subject problem incidents, and not knowing what actually happened because the offending posts have been deleted. Perhaps adding to the banned procedure you explained, the punishment of being on an available banned list, would be even more incentive to keep it civil.

Re: Manners... A new rule... What ever you have done in the past has worked, as I can think of at least one former guy who we never see any more, except at swaps.

Re: Manners... A new rule... I have been off this forum for a while. Now I am back on the project so I am back. This forum has been so helpful. Thanks Ryan

Re: Manners... A new rule... I have always enjoyed the forum. Never heard of any shooting or fist fights so far. We all would be lost without it. Me for sure. Is there going to be a t-shirt for Hershey this year. Would be nice. Maybe a cap would be better. I must be dreaming again:cool:

Re: Manners... A new rule... Thanks Ryan. HRP

Re: Manners... A new rule... Once upon a time, when Truman was in the White House (and Ford was still building flatheads!), if you said something you had naught, the next guy took you up on it, right there. And it ended there.
Today, thanks to the anonymity and physical distance of the internet, we have to deal with wienies who wouldn't DARE make certain statements in front of the people they are denigrating. Ryan - Thank you for being on top of it. |
Re: Manners... A new rule... Ryan,
Seems that people have become nicer on here over the last 6 months. Maybe your last post about manners did some good. Thanks for your work holding this board together, It is one of the most useful things on the internet. |
Re: Manners... A new rule... This is a great thread.
... My sing-song with friends & family especially my children is it cost nothing to be nice, and that has made all the difference. Ric |

Over on the HAMB I have a circle of friends that at times we bust each others balls. It is all done in a fun guy kind of thing and we all know that it is just are way of being dumb guys! (as my wife would say) I hope it doesn't get misconstrued. We will be more careful!

Re: Manners... A new rule... Ryan, I love this forum and Thanks for all, I wish Chevy's had a good forum like this one. So far I have only read good things here.
