Easy Iron, you literally took everything I said out of context and you put words in my mouth.

"You have these dumbass opinions drilled into your head that no matter what anyone else says you're 100% right. Guess what, you're wrong." - Iron

100% False on how I am! Why don't you take a closer look at post #15 where I said "I will be skeptical, but I am up for trying things at least once." Why did I say that? Because I may be wrong about the forum and I'm not opposed to being proved wrong on it.

I never once called anyone a racist! Not once did those words come out of my mouth so don't try and twist them to make me look like a bad guy here.

I wasn't around for any of the Street Wolf situation and I was making zero references to that situation because I don't know anything about it. In fact I stopped going to his new and improved Powrtuner forum simply because of the way he bashed Rocket and this forum in his brief return to try and recruit/steal members from GPF.

You say I was "bashing" but you are the one bashing. You use CAPS to try and show you're yelling. You called me idiot. I never called anyone any names, I never wrote any text in a yelling fashion. You said my opinions are "dumbass." First of all, who gives you the right to say anyone's opinions are wrong? If you think my opinions are completely wrong and have no chance at being right then maybe you should read this quote "You have these dumbass opinions drilled into your head that no matter what anyone else says you're 100% right. Guess what, you're wrong"

I do appreciate you clearing up the racist remarks possibility that it would be reported. Instead of flaming me all you had to do was say "Actually if I see a racist remark I will be sure to alert an admin and let them take the appropriate action necessary." Would that have been so hard?

I'm a very easy going guy, Iron. There is absolutely no reason to flame, threaten, abuse me in any way. If you would've explained yourself in a mild manner maybe we could have had a more constructive conversation.

Again... how many times do I have to say I don't mind the forum/section, just a matter of GPF condoning something. I also said the Mods know what they are doing and I will trust that they know what they're doing. I said this more than once. Did you not read it? Or did you just read the first sentence I wrote, you got a replied opinion and stuck to it without taking anytime to truly look into what I was saying?

Maybe I'll clarify when I said "my group of friends make racist remarks to each other all the time." I don't use harsh words such as the "N" word and such. I call my Jewish friends "Jewbags" or "Jiddles," My Hindu friend "Curry," etc.. They are more stereotypes, but again we have all been friends for a very long time and we know the limit we can go with each other.

"And you say you're not sheltered, news flash, you act like you are and I believe you are." - Iron

Maybe it's about time I open up a little bit about myself. 1st of all I live in the D.C. Metropolitan area and the Baltimore area. It's very hard to be "sheltered" in these areas no matter who you are. I have an open life. I like cars, i go to school, I own guns, I have a g/f, I go to clubs, I drink at bars, I partied in college, I've been borderline arrested on several occasions and still to this day don't understand how I didn't spend at least one night in jail.

2nd of all, porn, racism, and all the other comments aside, I am a Respiratory Therapist and work in a Hospital every other day, not the weekends, and continuing my education while doing it. You want to talk about sheltered. Being around sick people all day is one experience, and you start to appreciate just how good things are to not be in their situations, but mostly specific ones. Experience the day when a Neonate dies when the parents are standing outside the room crying their lights out, and the doctor can't even hold back when he's apologizing to them telling them they did everything possible.

Think about an 8 year old boy on his death bed from Cystic Fibrosis because his lungs just can't do it any longer. Ask him how he is feeling and tell me how you would handle an 8 year old telling you "I can't wait until this is over."

Iron, I am going to PM you an apology for offending you in any way. I simply made this statement to defend myself. I feel it is the adult thing to do.

[Quicklynx]

Just curious who those members would be, because I have gotten into more than my fair share of arguments with people on here and have been warned But this new section is amazing, even though I don't think I have posted but when the time comes I know I can say anything I want without a big fat slap on the wrist like before.

Well I wasn't referring to you but come to think of it I probably could use you as an example, haha. You and WhiteDevil had quite the argument, but I don't recall it drifting into other threads after Synthetic locked it.

[1998xGTP]

Well I wasn't referring to you but come to think of it I probably could use you as an example, haha. You and WhiteDevil had quite the argument, but I don't recall it drifting into other threads after Synthetic locked it.

Nope I don't like to carry things over, but I also don't like being restricted on what I can say and what I can talk about.

[Quicklynx]

Well I more so agreed with you in the WhiteDevil debate, but still... you guys were bashing hard on each other, haha.

Actually the person/s I was/were referring to I believe may have been banned.

[dstout]

how come the porn isn't being banned.... i feel that can somewhat hurt the forum... but what do I know?

You stated that in one of your post, and in another statement you were concerned that people would drag things from one area and into another.
Isn't this exactly what you have done?
Shouldn't this question been posted in the Free for All section?
Look.....if you have a problem with that section then you should have started a new thread and posted that statement there and not on a public thread.

You also stated that you could care less what gets posted because porn and racist remarks don't offend you, those are your words and you posted them more than once. See the below statement

I just don't see a great need for this site to be supporting pornographic images, racism, or whatever else happens in it whether it is optional to join or not.

You accuse us of twisting you words or putting words into your mouth when you are the one who made those statements.

I know what you wrote and I know whats in there but, to a person who has not been in there and by that statement you made they would get the impression that infact there are racist remarks made in that section.

This is not a church group...it's a car forum. This is NOT the only site/forum that has a private section. The section only requires you to be a GT level member for admission and thats all.
The "Free for All" section on this forum is very tame, have you read craigslist lately?
That's an eye opener.

This has got to be some entertaining reading!!

I see where you are coming from, and maybe you're right, but I see this as borderline and can go in either section. Maybe I should have started a new thread and I didn't think it through. I truly did not realize a huge uproar would come out of this.

You also stated that you could care less what gets posted because porn and racist remarks don't offend you, those are your words and you posted them more than once. See the below statement

I just don't see a great need for this site to be supporting pornographic images, racism, or whatever else happens in it whether it is optional to join or not.

Am I not making it clear enough? It doesn't bother me at all to see certain things. I was simply looking at it from another perspective of how a parent of a 16 year old child would view it if their kid joined. Not that they can't just hop on any of the billions of porno sites as is. There are more reasons than this, but the point is it is not restrictive to them. I also said at least 3 times now that the Admins and Moderators have obviously thought this through, and they know a lot better than I would on how to handle a situation like that.

I understand this section wasn't made overnight. It has been in the making for a few weeks now so obviously there has been much thought into it including the Pros, Cons, benefits and so forth of the section.

Instead of just flaming me and telling me "if you don't like it then don't go in" why didn't you say something along the lines of "Despite the fact it is labeled a Free For All section there are still rules. There will be no racist remarks. The images will be ___, etc."

Seriously, I never told you guys to just "F*** OFF' but that's basically what some of you all did to me when I simply tried to talk about it.

I stated several times I believe you all are misinterpreting my words. I thought you had realized that I wasn't trying to bash, but mainly get some answers before I were to join something. Apparently you didn't, and hopefully now you will.

Be constructive, explain why I would be wrong and defend your section in a positive manner, please.

Thanks

[dstout]

You will find the statement below it's from Rocket

I setup a no rules forum for people wishing to look at porn, talk about your ex girlfriends etc. Only rules are no kiddy porn, or anything else against the law. You have to join a group for the forum to be visable. this is in your user proffile

Like I said if you had followed that thread more closely than you did then you would have read the rules and stipulations but you didn't and then you ask the question "how come the porn isn't being banned".

I wasn't flamming you when I said if you don't like it don't come in. I was just telling you what anyone else would say.

The biggest problem with what you said.....is what you said. You put porn and racism in the same sentance meaning that there is porn and racism in the section.

Sure there are pics in there so what? Thats where they belong and your original question also belongs there and not here.

You made this statement...Be constructive, explain why I would be wrong and defend your section in a positive manner, please.
Are you serious?

I have tried very hard and have so far done a very good job in trying to be polite but you are not getting it.
You have to be at least a GT level member to join so, what does that tell you?
Are you just F*cking with us now? cause this is getting really old.
Maybe if you don't get it by now you should go back and revisit some of your postings and really read the original thread located in the 'Forum Bugs/ Suggestions" area.

The problem is this you made statements that in general pissed people off weather you understand that or not you did.
Yes it is for adults and it is not intended for children.
If you could care less then why did you even have to say anything to start with?
If you don't like it then don't go in.

I think I have said enough on this matter, I personally don't care if you approve of it or not....it is what it is!!

[Iron Indian]

Easy Iron, you literally took everything I said out of context and you put words in my mouth.

"You have these dumbass opinions drilled into your head that no matter what anyone else says you're 100% right. Guess what, you're wrong." - Iron

100% False on how I am! Why don't you take a closer look at post #15 where I said "I will be skeptical, but I am up for trying things at least once." Why did I say that? Because I may be wrong about the forum and I'm not opposed to being proved wrong on it.

I may have taken somethings out of context, but thats how I read it myself. And I did noticed you changed you tune a little bit further down, which kinda threw my off.

Come to the new board and be proven wrong, thats all I can say to you. I figured i'd see ya in there anyway, we the joking and BS we've said to each other and whomever on the other sections. Hopefully you somewhat trust me still despite us butting heads Join in, talk some ****.

I never once called anyone a racist! Not once did those words come out of my mouth so don't try and twist them to make me look like a bad guy here.

I felt that you did, at least the people who are members there. I didn't like it and I don't stand for being called racist myself. I stand up for that 100%. Maybe I misinterpreted it but I felt it was bad mouthing the people of that board.

I wasn't around for any of the Street Wolf situation and I was making zero references to that situation because I don't know anything about it. In fact I stopped going to his new and improved Powrtuner forum simply because of the way he bashed Rocket and this forum in his brief return to try and recruit/steal members from GPF.

Alright, I stand corrected. I didn't know he was doing all that on the PT boards, interesting. I'm a member of the DHP side since I have a PT, but that forum is worthless IMO. I've gotten very little if any help there.

You say I was "bashing" but you are the one bashing. You use CAPS to try and show you're yelling. You called me idiot. I never called anyone any names, I never wrote any text in a yelling fashion. You said my opinions are "dumbass." First of all, who gives you the right to say anyone's opinions are wrong? If you think my opinions are completely wrong and have no chance at being right then maybe you should read this quote "You have these dumbass opinions drilled into your head that no matter what anyone else says you're 100% right. Guess what, you're wrong"

All I can say is I thought you were bashing our little group and it pissed me off.

You can have opinions, but me or anyone else can give there opinion and say its wrong or dumbass or whatever. Opinion can be challenged. On the same side of the coin, how can you have and voice an opinion about a place you haven't ever been to yet? How can you judge a group of people? Ya know? Makes no sense to me. It would if you been there and had a terrible time but you haven't. Experiance it before being so vocal about it, thats all i'm saying man.

I do appreciate you clearing up the racist remarks possibility that it would be reported. Instead of flaming me all you had to do was say "Actually if I see a racist remark I will be sure to alert an admin and let them take the appropriate action necessary." Would that have been so hard?

There was more needed to be said than that honestly. I explained above and below. The racism thing I don't take to kindly and i'm just you're average white guy.

I'm a very easy going guy, Iron. There is absolutely no reason to flame, threaten, abuse me in any way. If you would've explained yourself in a mild manner maybe we could have had a more constructive conversation.

Well, I never threatened you in anyway, challenge, yes.

Again... how many times do I have to say I don't mind the forum/section, just a matter of GPF condoning something. I also said the Mods know what they are doing and I will trust that they know what they're doing. I said this more than once. Did you not read it? Or did you just read the first sentence I wrote, you got a replied opinion and stuck to it without taking anytime to truly look into what I was saying?

I did read what you said, and you seemed to change things around alot. Saying one thing and saying another about the same thing is confusing.

"And you say you're not sheltered, news flash, you act like you are and I believe you are." - Iron

Maybe it's about time I open up a little bit about myself. 1st of all I live in the D.C. Metropolitan area and the Baltimore area. It's very hard to be "sheltered" in these areas no matter who you are. I have an open life. I like cars, i go to school, I own guns, I have a g/f, I go to clubs, I drink at bars, I partied in college, I've been borderline arrested on several occasions and still to this day don't understand how I didn't spend at least one night in jail.

I agree you need to open up a little, be more open minded about things such as this special forum.

Iron, I am going to PM you an apology for offending you in any way. I simply made this statement to defend myself. I feel it is the adult thing to do.

I don't have a problem with you and hopefully you don't have a problem with me. We just don't agree on everything, thats all...

[Quicklynx]

I appreciate the reply, Iron. I'm glad we could get on the same page and I agree with a lot that you have said.

Yes, maybe I did jump to conclusions. I will give the board a shot. It does sound interesting and fun.

No, you never once threatened me in any way. I was just using examples of things the average person thinks they need to do in order to get through to my head and make me listen, which is not what is needed. I hope others understand that.

Yes, you did challenge me, and I am completely okay with that. JoshMcMadMac challenged my statement about my opinions on the M16/M4 use in the military and how I thought the military wasn't giving the troops the best weaponry. We ended up pming each other back in forth and it turned into a nice conversation.

I was very open to this forum when I first heard about it. That is why I didn't challenge it right away, but when Rocket leaves a message saying "all illegal" activity can be done in the section, I simply got a little skeptical about certain things. Honestly, if porn arises it isn't a big deal because if the under age kids want to find it, they will. You cleared the racism issue up and I feel better about that.

I was simply a little worried that if certain things were in this section, whether private or not, they could potentially have posed a negative view of the forum (and that was the only thing out of it all I was worried about, haha.) However, as I have talked and argued a bit with you guys, I do in fact realize some great benefits to this section. The one is it keeps the rest of the forum clean. The other is it apparently meant a lot to many people on this forum and it keeps them happy as well to have something they enjoy. I'm all for pleasing all parties, but sometimes that results in some butting of heads.

Good luck and I hope the section turns out to be a positive for the forum. I know there was more in putting together this section than meets the eye. I hope the other members, and I have no doubt that 99.9% of them will, can be trusted to make good judgment on what they post, whether it's a free for all section or not.

Thanks, Iron. I am glad you took time to overlook what I had said.

[dstout]

Please read the two statements below. Pay special attention to the highlighted points.

I highlighted the two rules that Rocket made in his posting.

From Rocket
I setup a no rules forum for people wishing to look at porn, talk about your ex girlfriends etc. Only rules are no kiddy porn, or anything else against the law. You have to join a group for the forum to be visable. this is in your user proffile

From You

I really thought I was done making comments in this thread but now you, YOU have taken Rockets words and twisted them.
You need to find the exact statement that you say Rocket made and post it here in BIG RED FONT.

Do you see it?
How the F*ck did you misinterpret that????
Where the F*ck did you get "all illegal" idea from??
Are you really that much of an idiot???
Will you just stop with your BULLSH*T and drop this subject aleady??
Are you waiting for the admins to close the section down cause you made such a stink about it?
What the F*ck don't you get?

Where, anywhere did Rocket say "all illegal" in his statement?
You wrote that you are college educated but after reading some of the Bullsh*t you write it really makes me wonder.
You also say you own guns....maybe you shouldn't
Have you read and do you understand the owners manuals?

Have you ever served in the military?
No you have not. What would you know about an M-16 or amn M-4 in a combat situation? Nothing!! so STFU about it will you.
You know why they jam? cause they don't clean them, I was there, I know.
My weapons NEVER jammed.......EVER.

Just stop spewing Bullsh*t

You are 100% right, Dstout. I did misinterpret them. Sorry, when I read it his message I thought it said "I setup a no rules forum for people wishing to look at porn, talk about your ex girlfriends and all other illegal activity." I misread, and that is my fault. I should have looked closer and realized that before. I admit my mistake, and realize I had been wrong all along.

Unnecessary

No you have not. What would you know about an M-16 or amn M-4 in a combat situation? Nothing!! so STFU about it will you.
You know why they jam? cause they don't clean them, I was there, I know.
My weapons NEVER jammed.......EVER.

No, I never served in the military. I tried more than once to get in, but was declined because of my asthma. I slipped through the cracks once but was sent home during basic when it was discovered.

I do have family members and friends currently serving, and who have retired from service.

Just stop spewing Bullsh*t

Can't deny the facts. Would I prefer a M16/M4 over an AK-47? Absolutely, any day. My bitterness towards the weapons is mainly because the military refused to upgrade them. The XM8 clearly would have made a great weapon and would have been a huge upgrade to the M16/M4. Granite the SCAR is available, but I feel the XM8 would have been way more beneficial. Those who were apart of testing the weapons, including select infantry, felt the same way I do, and share the same feelings I have towards the scrapping of the project.

Offroadfury, who is currently serving over there has also agreed with my statements.

I have never experienced a jam in my AR-15. It is a completely different circumstance because I can clean it on my own time, whenever I want, and the area around me is not a giant sandbox with dust storms.

By the way, I joined the section and have already made a post. I looked at some of the others and it doesn't seem bad at all. I took Iron's advice and I gave it a shot.

Thanks

[dstout]

I accept your apology and I am not mad at you, I'm just mad at some of the things that were said but I'm over it.

I did see that you did join the group and if you would have done that at the beginning then we may not have had a problem but all of this should have been posted there and not here.

Was my language unnecessary? Maybe but it seems you did get the point after it came to that.

I'm aware that things written in a posting can be misinterpreted by some one and taken out of context but before you make a statement you must try and understand what the message said. Reading comprehension is key.

The M16/M4 is the standard issue weapon of the US Government.
Depending on the MOS and or unit the GI is assigned to also determines the type of weapon issued. GI=Government Issue.
Implementing a new weapon system is very expensive and time consuming.
With the state of our economy and the deficit don't look for anything new or soon.
I left the military in 93 and at that time they were testing a new weapon system to replace the M16.
There are weapons that the government has in inventory that are issued to SF, SEAL, PJ etc, etc. depending on the mission or theater of operation.
I was Issued an M16 w/M203, M2, M60, 9mm replaced .45ACP, 90mm.
Try keeping all that clean.
Most soldier are only issued an M16 they can't or won't keep that clean that's and then fails or they use too much Break Free. In the desert the bolt needs to remain almost dry.
None of my weapons ever jammed or failed due lack of cleaning.
I was in a combat unit and I went into combat more than once, my M16 saved my ass and the others around me on several occasions.
So clean, clean, clean your weapon.....oh yeah, you have to clean the ammo too.

[onebadassgtp]

Big mistake in NOT controlling who will be allowed in this section...

Let's just say someone under 18 joins the group (you probably have a few 15/16 year olsd on this board), isn't it illegal for this age group to view PORN!!!

Good luck when this site gets shut down!!!

[Quicklynx]

haha... i thought the fighting was over but it is just beginning!

Good point though....

To protect the site maybe the Mods should look into adding a check box that acknowledges the user is 18. That seems to be about all the protection an actual Porno site needs

Currently we can just join. It's something to look into. I don't know how harmful it could be in the end....

[dstout]

kids lie....how mant 12 year olds have an account on myspace and facebook and claim they are 21??

[Quicklynx]

oh I'm not saying they won't check the box, I know they will

That box simply protects the site

If they click it and join, it falls on them because they lied. If they don't have a box to click, it can fall on the site. He does make a valid point.

I mean just adding a little box which shouldn't take hardly any time is good insurance.

[onebadassgtp]

We have a winner!!!!

[Iron Indian]

Why in the hell would a underage kid hang here muchless hang here to see porno, there are way better free porno sites a click away.

All I can is there are MANY other car forums (that have been around for many years) that will get shut down before this one because of porno. Most other sites have an accesible page that ain't hidden like it is here. So yeah, I'm willing to make a bet on when this will happen, I know i'll win....

Hahaha

[SlowM90]

Hey guys! We have a new free for all! You should join it!! You can post pretty much whatever you want and don't have to worry about it getting locked or taken down!!!!!






















Okay...back on track....

[Iron Indian]

Thank you ma'am...
