Theres a 4.9 posse? Why am I picturing "revenge of the nerds"?
Sorry I tried soooooo hard to stay out of this thread. This thread called to me.....post on me....post on me...
Why the hell do i have so much negative? I only name-call when someone says something dumb. You can call me names if you want. The lack of dry sense of humor on here is only appreciated by the flood of PMs from my fanclub.
And those who PM me for tech info / advice and then "try" and slam me on the forum is appreciated too.
You dirty 4.9 Hating SOB Canadian .........
We all have a right to disagree with someone about things. I'm in the middle of a 4.9 swap right now and I'm tired of all the 4.9 BS on the forum. You've said something once that pissed me off, but I didnt give you a negative for it (still positive if you really care). The problem is there are too many other people out there who would. I mean come on, we cant like someone with a different idea of whats right now can we?
Oh yeah, and I OWN page 3.

Yo, I.A. it's called metaphor see the following....
Main Entry: met·a·phor Pronunciation: 'me-t&-"for also -f&r Function: noun Etymology: Middle French or Latin; Middle French metaphore, from Latin metaphora, from Greek, from metapherein to transfer, from meta- + pherein to bear -- more at BEAR 1 : a figure of speech in which a word or phrase literally denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest a likeness or analogy between them (as in drowning in money); broadly : figurative language -- compare SIMILE 2 : an object, activity, or idea treated as a metaphor : SYMBOL 2 - met·a·phor·ic /"me-t&-'for-ik, -'fär-/ or met·a·phor·i·cal /-i-k&l/ adjective - met·a·phor·i·cal·ly /-i-k(&-)lE/ adverb
Please explain how "maybe I should put out a call for my 4.9 posse to get some ++'s to offset the SBC mobs ---'s" is a metaphor for anything by your posted definition.

It is obvious that you can use a dictionary which is a good thing. Yeah for you. What you failed to notice is that your comment about a possee is no way a metaphor. Try reading the definition again. I expect a full essay on the use of "Metaphors" by the morning. If you want I can look up the meaning of "HYPERBOLE" as well. There is a lot of that going on around here as well.

I knew it wouldn't be long before you joined your tag team partner C.K. Nevertheless, I'm looking forward to seeing you at Fierorama in a few weeks.
MasterBaiter:
Ahhhhh, didn't you just ask where I was? CAKid didn't ask for me, YOU did. It was just a little bit ago, don't you remember?
You won't sign your name, so I guess I'll just have to call you MasterBaiter. But that don't matter, I'll know your name & a lot more by the time Fierorama is over. Remember, there's no keyboard to hide behind at the show.
CAKid: The funniest thing is that in many posts in the past MBaiter claims that it doesn't matter what the ratings system says about him, then he comes on here crying about all of his negative ratings.
I've been wrongfully convicted and strung up by a SBC lynch mob carefully orchestrated and headed by a tag team of SBC owners. All because I championed the 4.9 and called out the ring leader on his incivility and constant use of personal insults in his post.
Maybe, I should put out a call for my 4.9 posse to get some ++'s to offset the SBC mobs ---'s
Go Fiqure.
Okay, guys, I'm always open to learning, so tell me why the above post is not a metaphor?

Theres no analogy there, for starters. You have no posse, and the "mob" you speak of is just people who are tired of you. I'll be the first to say that its not just SBC people. I can go either way, a 4.9 or an SBC, and I'm still getting sick of you.

Cletus Archambault aka Archie, why do you insist on insulting people with VULGAR names? This is a perfect example of why we don't see eye to eye. But I get negatives for pointing out your personal insults. After all, this is a family forum right? If you agree you will delete the VULGAR references, if you don't agree you'll leave the VULGARITIES posted.
Like I said before, go fiqure.

Well you coulda' fooled me, 2 weeks ago you didn't even have enough votes to have a rating bar. Today you're as red as you can be and at 160 & counting. Obviously you haven't learned anything yet.

Oh yes, you are as stupid as they say. Grab that dictionary that you quoted from earlier. Look up MasterBaiter & Masterbate, only one of them would be considered anywhere near vulgar. Dah!
You guys, masterbation is a perfectly natural way to express your love...alone. Let's not have the good name of "self-love" used in such a hateful context
I probably shouldn't, but I will say - this thread is actually quite entertaining, for those of us with no personal agenda. It's filled with comedy, drama, nonsense and a few good doses of common sense. My vote for thread moderators (are we voting?) is no, for the reasons already stated.
The new ratings gauge is cool, Cliff!
lol... Donk, I knew you wouldn't be able to resist. Heck, I was looking for you back on the first page...
Mastermind, I'm not strickly an SBC Owner, here's a couple shots of my other car: As far as I'm concerned, desired engine swap is whatever floats your boat !
That was mature. And I don't see anyone but you complaining about his modification to your screen name. There's plenty of women on this board and none have them have complained yet. Most kids aren't going to make the connection between him calling you a master baiter, which you seem to be, and mastubator, if they even know what that means. In fact, I recall not too long ago a story that was posted in a thread like this. The poster said that his grandkids or nieces and nephews, I don't recall which, used to read the forum with him and were into Fieros. Thier mother was totally cool with that, till one day she and the poster found the kids staring at the woman with the bouncing bosums in someones sig. Thanks to that, those kids don't get to see much of the forum anymore. That uncle or grandfather, whichever it was, and his daughter or sister, again whichever, obviously had taste and had a pretty good idea of what is and isn't acceptable for women and children. Want to guess who that was, that made that judgement call for the sake of the kids?
And we're still waiting for an explanation of your alleged metaphor. There's no analogy there, so I'm really wondering what you seem to think makes it metaphoric.
Well for me personally, I prefer it in the Caddy, sucks gas like a pig (17 - 18 mpg), now the Fiero with 400 hp gets a 22 avg. (and I've always got my foot in it) !
As I said above, whatever floats your boat. Just don't try to cram your ideas down someone's throat, as it just may not be their idea of the best swap for their dream car.

If you could delete a flamers post in your thread that doesn't do anything for the continuity, direction and spirit of the thread then it would certainly make the forum even that much better.This would however probably render the rating system almost useless then which is probably why Cliff is apparently so against it.
No, I'm against it because it's a really bad idea. Giving the topic starter the ability to censor out posts he doesn't like? Bad, bad idea. And I really shouldn't have to explain why it's a bad idea because it's so glaringly obvious. And thinking it would render the rating system useless is, well, preposterous.
In theory the rating should be perfect. You're rated by your peers right? Nope!!! I've been wrongfully convicted and strung up by a SBC lynch mob carefully orchestrated and headed by a tag team of SBC owners. All because I championed the 4.9 and called out the ring leader on his incivility and constant use of personal insults in his post.
All I see is the rating system doing its job perfectly.
Wait wait let me guess!!!! Because as soon as someone posted in a thread that wasnt liked/pointing out wrong info/etc and the thread starter deleted it someone would start a thread bashing the other thread right? That was my first thought. Do I get a cookie?
Dang Im hungry. Anyone got the oreos handy?. HIOSILVER
