Can't we all just get along?

The tone of this board has taken a decisive turn for the worse in the past week or so. I am guilty of having engaged in this action, but I'm also the one calling for an end to it. With moderators (well, one moderator) entering the fray and adding to the mania, things are getting out of hand.

Factual arguments have broken down. Videos, while valient attempts at proof, are not adequate. Mathematical proofs, while objective, are not tangible...Let's just agree to disgree. We're giving some real mental midgets an opportunity to hijack this board, and they're taking it.

For the sake of the sancitity of this board, I'm finished arguing about these topics. Let's try not to attack each other so rabidly, instead trying to spread fact and supported hypotheses...if we must disagree, let's argue against each other's argument without descending to the point of degrading each other or each other's argument style. When a lack of intelligence or logic is on display, walk away or ignore it, let's not bring this board down any further.

We've got enough people hating us for the cars we drive, let's not hate each other.

Cheers.

Team C240:
"Yeah but your still driving a four banger"

Team C230:
"oh yeah well your Mama's so fat Osama bin Laden is hiding in her belly"

Team c240:
"Oh yeah well at least my 6 cylinder engine can carry her fatt as ss and bin laden faster than your C230.

Team C230:
"Oh yeah well 3 comes before 4 so that makes us better than you"

Team c240:
"Oh yeah well three rhyms with pee and that's what I'm gonna do on you"

Team c230:
"Oh yeah well four rhyms with ***** and that's what you are"

Team c240"
"Oh yeah well thats right all we do is ***** on all threads about our c24's

To be continued......

bmw2benz,

I am posting this in the public forum for all to see.

The object of this board is gain and share information with each other. If there is an old thread that you have a valid reason for "reviving" (meaning your comments are worthy of discussion), then that is fine. But to revive old threads with comments that are nonsense is disruptive to the board and will not be tolerated.

Consider this a warning.
