Call it as I see it

True story. Maybe a lot of members aren't computer-savvy, who knows. I'm sure plenty of people that have joined are cool fuckin people who know a lot about cars and are turned off by the way some people act on here. A lot of guys who go to the track a lot and work on cars all day and are really cool to be around don't post much, or at all. I don't know why.

 

One thing I added to my last post when I edited it.....I don't understand why so many people act completely different on the internet than they would in real life. It's hard enough as it is to judge someone by the words they type on the internet. There are a lot of people who say stupid shit on here they would never say in person. On the flip side of things, there are many of these same members who act like tools on the internet but I'm sure are cool as hell in person.

Dude when I first started coming out I was shocked. I mean literally. I never would have been able to put face to name with people. Based on how people posted I was sure I was walking into a meeting of the rich, body building, super model dating, 7sec driving gods. Instead it was more like a star wars convention. And almost everyone I have met in person has been absolutely cool to talk.hang with. True some guys go over the top to point out who their friends with and rag on everyone else but most are cool as hell.

to be honest..im like this in person...when im buddie buddie with people. its how you can tell if i like someone. i have always gottin alot of shit from everyone else.i just like to give back. and not busting balls really per say. im poking fun at a customer/buddie that i know i can do that with..see what im saying :confused:. i mean all we are really doing here is blogging anyway. i give ant major shit when he is around. as brian or anyone else. hell paul was the butt of most of my jokes then other night, and everyone was having a good old time..hell i was the butt of some as well. everyone asking tyler if he had his l's and so on. then some had to show up and it seemed to put a damper on things with the way people with him were acting. then my girl try's to crack a joke, to break tension, and the shit storm ensues with someone jumping in that wasnt even part of it. in which, i will point the blame at. dont hand me a loaded gun, and ask to get shot, then bitch at me for doing it. hence how we got to this point.

Its obvious some guys are here only because they own a car. If thats where/what we have become than so be it but this needs addressed.

 

Some girls are here because they have been involved with racing since their Daddy's '69 Stang would get a rear end swap every Friday and taken to Norwalk and level anyone that would step up...

 

Some girl's daddy's learned the only way to get the kid to sleep is to put her in the car and drive around the block (farm block, not city block) and by the time he got back to the house she would be SOUND ASLEEP...

 

Some girls can be the best dude friend you've ever had (it happens)...and it is OK...nothing to be worried about in the grand sexual identity scheme of things...Although I can see how it could be confusing to the ill-prepared...but, you live and learn...or die trying.

UMMMMMMMM I cant see how anyone can get that from pointing out there are a few guys on here that really dont show any interest in cars in the least yet are on a "car forum".

Pm me explaining how agreeing with her would get her salty. And that thread had a fraction to do with Anthony starting this thread. I know he has been tired of alot of the nonsense on here recently.

What I am trying to say is that it is completely possible that a female has been involved in the automotive/motorcycle world since birth, learning from her father, grandfathers, uncles and cousins...and try to understand that a little acceptance in that line of thought would have probably prevented the loss of a significant number of females over the years, that decided to just say "I give." and leave.

 

What if Shirley Muldowney had just decided to give up...and not pursue her dream because of a double standard?

 

One of my most favorite previous employers once told me...The only thing you can truely change is your own mind. Mr M, is not only a living legend, but a wonderful family man...and the most gifted person I have ever met...Thank you Joyce & Ronnie.

So as to not get this thread anymore OT I will pm you asking why your bring up the fact that females belong on here. Are you assuming I dont think girls should be or that I think men are superior in any way to women. I merely brought up the fact that there are guys on here that seem to have no interest in cars other than owning one. Why on earth would you try to make this about you and womens rights. Should I have to preficit my posts because you think when I say "guys" it actually means "dana, eye of the beholder, robs girlfriend, receptionist at gearheadz"? Ok I am not going to pm.

I have been logged on for quite a while....

 

 

Why is Rob having to explain something to you when it should be me? If you're shy...I will take it easy...I won't go full bore...but when it is clear that people are talking to your "dude"...you are discounting the possibility that I may have intelligent conversational capabilities, because I have female body parts? I just heard I was referred to as a receptionist...and the definition of insanity is continuing to repeat the same behavior and expecting a different outcome...

Here why dont you tell me or ask Rob why he is posting. I asked you a question, he responded. Please, please explain how this is my fault. Show me one post just one that shows where I have said anything about this hang up between women vs. men you seem to think I have. Are you not the receptionist? Is a receptionist now a derogatory term that I was unaware about. If you dont want Rob answering for you, post your replies quicker.

Seriously, my internet goes down and we end up with bullshit in a thread about stopping bullshit.

 

Back on topic

Everyone involved should meet up for a round table. The problems are dividing the forum and making things more stressful than need be. We cant force you to like each other but you can at least be civil to each other.

 

I want everyone that is willing to talk this out like respectable adults to post it publicly in here. No more behind the scenes pm fights, threatening text messages, kitchen fights crossing the lines, etc. This is the only way I see to actually stop this.. anything else would be sweeping it under the rug.

I think you 2 might actually be the same person. What does it matter is she owns the state of ohio? The point is what does any of us have to say before posting so she doesnt get offended when she totally misconstues a post and assumes someone is talking about her. I mean really? Any other person would have merely said "oh I am sorry, I mistook your post", but no. Now were fucking up this thread because she wants to argue womens lib.
