Come on guys this isn't NAM. I've been sitting idly by long enough. This looks bad for all of us. Mini/MINI is not like any other car; it's not an appliance it is a social experience. It's about "youification" and having fun. There have been comments made and instigated to draw a couple people out including myself. As stated by Nathan, it should be in a fun manner. Understandably some comments that may have been meant as fun may have lost the essence through written form. I think we all need to read our comments before posting as if you were another person to make sure it wouldn't offend others. Of course some people need to grow thicker skin but for one try not to be offensive and on the other hand a lot of time and worry is wasted being offended. I'm not one of those "lets all get along people" but this is supposed to be a open and fun experience and hopefully it can continue to be.
awww...couldnt care less...you dish it out...be ready to take it....now go sit in the corner and color...cant take an ego bruising eh...:devil::devil::devil:
Wow... This has gotten totally out of hand. The MINI of the Month is supposed to be fun. That is all. Just pure fun and it was pretty much that way till a certain few started in on this. I looked the other way at first hoping it was just a little too much enthusiasm but I see now that there is a fairly new person here on M/A that just doesn't get what this site is about. InjectedGT - I am pointing the finger squarely at you. Your rhetoric is not appreciated by the majority here. Either tone it down or find someplace else to spew your venom. It is not welcome, pure and simple. Motoring Alliance is the FUN and Friendly MINI Community. That's the niche we all built here. As I've told others that tell me this place needs controversy and rudeness to shake it up. It does not. We are perfectly happy with the FUN we have that doesn't denigrate to the level you lowered to. I'll not argue/discuss/compare notes/reason about/toss around/debate/exchange notes or even hold a discourse about this so lets move on get back to having a bit of FUN with the MINI of the Month.
Aside from some sticker jokes all I've said here were replies to the paper n salt dudes ego and trash talk.... whatever either way, dude. I guess if you're here long enough you can talk about how there's "no competition" or no camera skills and **** like that but when a new member calls you out for being a cocky douche, its a problem. Ill keep my mouth shut in here from now on, but I hope this has nothing to do with MY thread elsewhere where people are getting butt hurt for me not giving a certain vendor a reach around like I guess I'm supposed to.
Here's my take on all this.....first me and Tata, the only people to really have any dog in this race, had a minor disagreement, at first, but then has anyone can see, resolved it amicably by the time we both left last night. InjectedGT, who's opinion is different than both mine and Tatas, in my eye, still left on good terms. The only person I see that came in and FUELED the fire, that personally attacked me, was rude, and added NOTHING to the discussion was....Yellow British Rocket.....who, Nathan, you never mentioned? So....why are his inflammatory, rude, harassing, posts still left here for all to see? Or should I rebut him myself?
Been away from the thread a bit, I still like tribal, as that is what I voted. I have enjoyed all the pictures and the banter, I do not enjoy egos, large or small. May the best MINI win, it is a fun contest each month, getting in the spirit and being a community player has it's benefits. Just my parting thoughts, waiting for the final vote, a few more quality pictures and some tasteful comments. Don
I appreciated the above post. :devil::lol: Please report my post also. Wrong finger but you get the idea-->
Seriously, will you quit trying to moderate boards in the threads, and take it to the pm's only, where I'm sure it will get the attention it duly deserves? I really don't think Nate needs help, but if you think he does, please, just use the pm's, spare us the drama. Most of us have already been to grade school. A few of us even graduated from it.
You mean MINICOBRA?:wink: Oops... Yep that just happened.:lol: Is February over yet? I'm ready for Mustache March...:ihih:
Just that we're all mature adults here, and the only thing worse than a tattle tale is a middle aged tattle tale.
