an ignore button would be nice sometimes

Exactly my thoughts too.

I could write a book on the subject of mean people but instead I will keep it short and say the following.
Mean people have a fragile psyche.
Mean people think kindness is weakness, on the contrary true weakness is the inability to be kind.
It takes a strong person to be kind after the hell humans have put them through in their lives ergo kindness is true strength.

most of the forums I frequent are very tame, I mostly go to gun and automotive forums. luckily there are still a few where you can tell it like it is without fear of a mod having a fit and banning you for telling the truth.
if you really want to see crazy TOBT at yellowbullet, just don't do it at work or in front of your kids

At work one day i told a supervisor that "nobody cared, and there is no motivation in here" is why a job was done the way it was on second shift. I was getting fussed at for something i have no control over, she went and told a higher up and he said "if you ask a man a honest question and he gives you his honest answer you got to accept it".

I have held over 20 jobs in my life. I have read but also found out for myself that most problems at work are caused by poor management and often that is due to a complete lack of personal skills and respect by the so-called "leadership."

**MikeB** · 10-04-2015, 04:29 PM

Bone, you are absolutely right. If the OP is not looking for comments, he should not ask, "What do you think?" Instead simply say, "Here's my completed project." Anyway, it's too late to ask for comments after the project is done!

Personally, I don't comment on something that's already been done, unless I like it. But if someone asks for opinions in advance, I'll jump in. Of course then I might upset another member who's already done it, like install a too-big cam or carb for instance.

Here is my opinion: "that is freak in schwwweeeeeet!"

dirtyjim · 10-04-2015, 07:40 PM

purple is a hard color to get right but they pulled it off on that car.
I had a candy purple low rider in the early 90's. it had a copper base with transparent blue top coats to get the color, ended up with somewhere between 25-30 coats to get the depth I wanted. 5 copper, 15-20 blue and 5 clear. I would hate to pay for that paint job at todays prices

I'm in Los Angeles, so the question I have to ask is: What is rain?
I belong to a few other forums also and this one is by far the most informative, positive & easy going of them all.

drfloyd · 10-05-2015, 08:47 PM

Well, I live in the monsoon belt of South Carolina. I left yesterday to commission a voltage regulator in St. Louis but before I did I waded in 2 feet of water in my shop to attempt to secure things. It commenced to rain another 5 inches after I left last night and this morning. I think that makes somewhere around 15 to 18 inches in like 3 days and it wasn't dry before that started. I dread going back to see the damage. That's what rain is.

**71CHEVYSHORTBED402** · 10-05-2015, 10:31 PM

Me personally, I like it when someone sets me straight. Since the subject of "gripes" has come up, one of the things I see constantly are threads where someone asks advice for a problem they're having, and they don't respond with the end result.

I really hate that for yall, I love south carolina such a great state.

With all the lovers of pink, I can only say welcome to the site girls...

I work w/ people from SD. They alternately complain about too little rain, and traffic jams caused by the rain...

In The Ten Ring · 10-06-2015, 10:23 PM

Doesn't this site have a rule that one "must always like someone's truck?"

If that's so it's a silly rule since I guess people on here can't take disagreement. Maybe the rule is needed though.

It's all part of the plan for a pussified country. You know, everyone gets a trophy. Don't get me started....Besides, wrong forum.

Nope it is not a rule, however talking pure trash about someone elses ride is not tolerated. Why you ask? Believe it or not it has nothing to do with political correctness... I know I could give a crap less about being politically correct myself.. It has everything to do with (on more than one occasion) members leaving due to folks running their mouths (or fingers) about how crappy this or that truck is on ebay (or wherever) only to find out its a members ride. Totally not cool at all.

Oh wait nope, we only make silly rules to piss people off

lol,smh and ibtl!

***Liz*** · 10-07-2015, 01:17 AM

BTW a staff member should move this as it has nothing to do with year specific trucks and is a general discussion if there ever was one

It was so nice to see the sun today Bonehead.

***Liz*** · 10-07-2015, 01:17 AM

hmmm... isn't there some silly rule about double posting to drive up your post count too?
If not there use to be someone report this quick

Dave K. · 10-07-2015, 04:59 AM

I don't really understand post whores..... I mean when you croak is the stone going to say "Most posts on this website or that"? Kind of pathetic if you ask me.

BTT.
