That's it, I'm out (Page 2/7) Patrick AUG 19, 02:17 PM quote Originally posted by JazzMan: There's a small group of particularly nasty people here on the forum that have made it a pretty sour place... I know exactly what you mean. There seem to be a few members here who aren’t interested in simply expressing their opinions. No, they wish to take “discussion” a step further at every opportunity to try and embarrass and/or humiliate anyone who doesn’t fit their myopic view of the world. None of these people are particularly bright, but they are certainly persistent. They pick, pick, pick away until most everyone else just gives up and moves on. I mean seriously, you can only defend yourself in a thread so many times before you realize it’s a complete waste of time to be debating with these particular people. JazzMan, take the break of which you speak. I did. In my case it was because I was up the coast in the middle of nowhere with no power/computers/internet for eight days. It was wonderful. What a delight not having to worry about responding to insults and nonsense. It’s unfortunate though that a very small number of forum members here can sour the experience for a great many others. So JazzMan, yes, take the break... but come back when you feel revived. You’re a very valuable asset to this forum (not just in tech) and there would be a huge number of us who would miss your presence here. maryjane AUG 19, 02:26 PM /\ What the Toad guy said. jetman AUG 19, 02:29 PM quote Originally posted by JazzMan: There's a small group of particularly nasty people here on the forum that have made it a pretty sour place for me. JazzMan Every message board in the world has a bad apple or two, can't be avoided unless you stay out of the threads that you know are going to be trouble. Nothing the matter with taking a short breather, puts things back into perspective. I'll keep my fingers crossed that my little Fiero keeps running without your expert help in Tech, don't stay away for too long ok? Butter AUG 19, 02:47 PM Jazz Your opinion is valued. Grow some skin and don't let them varmits run you off Tha Driver AUG 19, 02:55 PM quote Originally posted by JazzMan: Taking a break for a while. There's a small group of particularly nasty people here on the forum that have made it a pretty sour place for me. I actually hate coming to the forum nowadays. More than one of these has suggested that I stay in Tech, but to me the forum is an all or nothing deal. JazzMan I know exactly what you mean. I've learned too. There are always the same jerks, that want to argue with you no matter what the subject, & no matter how may lies you catch them in (or how many times you prove them wrong). And of course they always twist what you said or add words to it that changes your meaning. Then they give you **** in another thread that has nothing to do with anything else. It's a total waste of time to even come here any more. The only reason I come here at all, is the few good folk that post every once in a while. But the bad posters outweigh the good (in number of posts) about 20 to 1, & it gets old real quick. It's a shame a few idiots can ruin the entire board for several thousand others. I've been turned off on working on my Fieros because of them. But I'm not gonna' let them ruin it for me. I'll work on the Fieros a little now & then, & get back on them more fully after I finish some other projects. I have thought about starting my own Fiero board, but like Cliff I just don't have time to moderate it. The yahoo board has great people, but yahoo sucks. Oh well. Life is hard.... Good luck, Jazzman. WhiteDevil88 AUG 19, 02:58 PM quote Originally posted by Tha Driver: I have thought about starting my own Fiero board, . Awesome way to get banned from PFF.

I can empathize with much of your post, but sorry, I can’t agree with this particular statement. As much as it may be a total waste of time to deal with certain members of this forum, that doesn’t equate with the forum itself being a waste of time to visit. Not at all. 2.5 AUG 19, 03:42 PM Don't give them what they wanted. Nurb432 AUG 19, 04:40 PM There are still those of us that appreciate you being here. ( and are glad we didn't lose you due to the illness ) Personally id just ignore the idiots and not let them bother me.
