This Forum is DEAD.
Way too much hostility from most of the long term and prolific posters.
Where is this coming from? Just because people disagree with your views on the political threads? This is a car forum, if you want to talk about world issues, I'm sure there are other places where you could fill that need.
This is a car forum?
There used to be new threads daily on cars but the membership is gone. If you can't see that and want to take a personal shot, I have thick skin and it absolutely doesn't affect me. But don't be myopic. You can't see this is the case?
I like the car threads, general banter, and most of the people here too. I'm around for the people, and I definitely steer clear of the politics threads. Some of my closest friends and I have vastly different political views (literally, Firm is like a brother to me and I see him every week, multiple times a week, and we never discuss politics), and it doesn't matter. Stay away from topics you know you disagree on and everything's fine.
Well said. Admittedly, most of the car threads in here bore me, but we've got an diverse group of people in here, form all over the country, so I find it interesting and insightful to hear the perspectives of the group on all sorts of topics....Cars, news stories, finances, politics, whatever. The issue is that people in general, some in this group included, have become less and less tolerant of others, and specifically of viewpoints that don't align with their own.
Just because you have a different political opinion than someone else, doesn't make them lesser of a person, or a bad person, or whatever. You can disagree on some things, and still respect and appreciate that person....I think if more people took that stance this place would be more active...and life in general would be more peaceful.
