Why the Bad Vibes?

[Brock Samson]

 OK - I know I'm not the only one to notice a bunch of mean and ill tempered threads and responses to threads. Used to just be general lee friendly helpful around here and welcoming - sometimes with gentle humor and encouragement.

Humans are a lot like the result of when the tightwad owner of a crappy diner adds water to the ketchup & dilutes the quality on you.

Have you notice I stop posting alot also? Anymore I just lurk around here.. I don't know why. Heck, I don't even post model car updates on here anymore either like used to. I just mostly post on facebook and that is mostly about it. heck, I didn't even start a charger thread on here for my own charger in the Charger area for when I started to work on mine afew weeks back. I wanted to start one BUT just couldn't get myself to starting a thread though on here.

Really? I think this is a happy place.

I go to my "happy place" when I take my pain meds....

I would reply to this, but it would only get responses like you mentioned above...(READ: Sarcastic, Bullsh*t, and basically, trying to get a laugh at others expense, type replies)...

Some here don't "NEED" to be on here to Build, understand, or even fabricate things.. They can do it all and only are on here to try and help others...I think if most folks would remember this fact, and post accordingly, there would be less of said threads...

 Well on the good foot,
a new Jeep Gran Cherokee SRT/8 just finished second in the 2011 Bullrun Rally with Robbie Gordon driving between a Nissan GTR and a Merc. AMG...
I'm trying to find a good news wrap up to post..

Maybe no-one is getting laid ?

Cooterman,

You summed it up very nicely!

Or just stop using the "Show unread posts since your last visit" funtion.  This will prevent those actually in "NEED" from seeing  the Off Topic, Humor, and Car Guy Discussion, sections where most of the aforemention posts/threads reside. 

Just something to think about .

That's my excuse.

I haven't been on the board for three weeks and this is the first thread I see. Did I miss some thread to thread combat

I think it's a combination of things. Mostly all the bad news on tv these days can wear you down physically and mentally. That's why I hide in my shop and listen to Sabbath and Deep Purple while working on my cars.

I think it is everyones nerves at end due to the economy and possibility of people losing jobs, etc.  I just took Bluto's (John Belushi) advise from Animal House and "start drinking.....HEAVILY".  Evary theng iz guuud now!      Aww crap.... Im outta beer.

Honestly, I don't think people not remembering that selfless smart guys are here to help everyone has anything to do with bad vibes, though it may be part of what I think the overall issue is: Most of the problem is when people don't respect others opinions, reactively post in negative way, and that pretty much lights the fuse.

That, and all the dead people threads. Talk about bad vibes!

im a lurker from way back i do appreciate the info but try not to post because there is an underlying air of supremecy from the old timers just giving my 2 cents on what someone else noted

[resq302]

I try to help out when I can.  I have only posted on death notice because I figured it pertained to our chargers and that was used in a TV series.  Even for the one thread I posted about his death, I got ragged on because I used the "won't be down for breakfast" that everyone was "accustomed to".

Dang, man! You have been gone for a while!  How's that seven second Mach 1 of yours coming along? Welcome back, by the way!
