Pre Migration Most liked posts in thread: So....why only one side?

Ok relax, I was sent PM's by mods and it is over.

I just have to say I am a man and I can take what I dish out. I do not and have NEVER reported anyones post or went crying to mods because my feelings got hurt.

The rest of the whole would is not anything like Cali so if anyone can not handle the real internet or m/a please find something better to do or go to the NAM or M|U.

 

Are you not doing the same? At least that's how it looks from my Lay-Z-Boy moderator seat.

 

I for one am not going to lock it. But I will offer a suggestion: stop posting in this thread. All three of you. See how that works for a few weeks. We'll re-evaluate then.

 

This thread provides scientific proof that some humans lack the "logic" gene.

 

Little vague, isn't it?

There's always going to be differences of opinions, nothing says you hafta agree, even when someone throws facts at you.....

One of the hallmarks of this site is that people can disagree without it becoming acrimonious. I'm for that!

 

I'm lost. Can someone tell me what we are referring to? :confused5:

I haven't been on M/A long enough to know what posters are being referred to here but I have to agree with Jim. . .we are using this site because Nathan is gracious enough to host it for the MINI community, not because he is under any legal obligation to do it and, therefore, the decision to remove posts/posters are solely at his discretion.

I have used both sites and haven't had any problems at either one but I do tend to stay on the safer, more innocuous threads. Either way it seems like such a waste of time and energy to get into a pissing contest with someone on the internet no matter how right you think you are.

Nathan, you keep on doing the damn thing!

 

As Moderator that is a great %, and I thank the Membership and Nathan

Instead of walking away from the monitor I hope that you get to motor away!

 

I put 191 miles on the MINI last month. It's better that I walk as sitting here all day does little to reduce the spare tire around the middle.

 

More like two. When MA was started, there was an implied (if not stated) intent that all old beefs will be left at the door and everyone gets a clean slate. Sadly, some choose not to embrace the opportunity. As the old saying goes, you can lead a horse to water.. :mad2:

 

:mad2:

 

There is a ton of freedom here... They have a freedom of choice on this site.

If they choose the way that leads them to being gone, so be it. But it was THEIR CHOICE.

Great job, Nathan. Don't change a thing.

 

And across all of the MINI forums, it's always the same group of people. I could do without any of them, personally. I don't care which side is right or wrong, which side could go around a track faster, or which one could get a higher dyno graph.

I'm sure they all feel that they're offering the community some sort of helpful information whenever they post, but I don't think any of them realize that their ego-driven banter is nothing but annoying to the majority of other MINI enthusiasts.

I think nathan has done a great job giving EVERYONE a chance to start over and act respectably. I see nothing wrong with removing the users that continually act out of bounds. Maybe they will learn, one day, that cars are supposed to be a fun hobby and they'll grow out of the childish mentality of battling each other over silly things.

Nathan (and mod team), keep up the great work

 

I support Nathan and the mod team's work. This forum is both an invaluable technical resource and a nice place to blow off a little steam every now and then. Seems like 99.9% of people manage to get things straightened out or agree to disagree, and I think the mods have handled that very well, which is appreciated. It does get annoying when egos flare up, but we don't have the pleasure of a perfect world, online or offline, so it's not like it's anything new. I'm also aware that it's much easier to be a jerk online than it is in person, but I think the strong relationships on this site keep that stuff in check, because everybody has met someone else face to face.

Keep up the good work.

 

I agree that Nathan and the Moderators are doing a great job.
I get very frustrated when a select few take a thread off course with many useless posts battling back and forth. It makes the thread useless because it filled with their battle posts instead of good info/comments. This is exactly why many people left another forum and we do not want it to happen in this forum.

 

If everyone thinks back to the picture Lotise posted of himself back in the day, I believe they should be referred to as, Nathan and "The MOD Squad".

Jim

 

You referring to this one?
