I wonder if, when he removes his head, a stream of poop will shoot out into his mouth... gaaah! That poopy picture has warped my fragile little mind!!!!

[DennisAJC]

AHHHHH! The good ole days.

I remember when Alec and I first locked horns....

We ended up sharing a bag of Doritos .

[argonaut]

Oh no, not the doritos lady... Blech!

[argonaut]

LOl, go fix a stiff drink and jump into the hot tub. BTW, mine is at 104

Ok, I'll help you out. Go stand in a doorway and turn to face the doorjam. Now firmly grasp the door jam with both hands. Quickly and vigorously smash your head into the doorjam until you have a massive subdermal hematoma on your forehead. And Voila!! You're banned. Oh... wait a second, that's not right. You're brain-damaged. oops, my bad.

DRTY,

I tried it...and the Dain Bramage worked!!!

Now, when I read the posts on here I see secret codes....you are all CIA spys secretly sending messages via these stupid, neck-biting, childish, low IQ posts!!

Oh...I also see dead-people...is that a side effect? or did I hit my head on the door jam TOO long??

Jason,
First of all I'd like to tell everyone that this site is without question the best H2 site. I don't go anywhere else. The white-trash banter between some folks (and myself included on occasion, I admit) is sometimes entertaining, but has grown into a negative for many folks who visit the site, and probably really freaks newbies out. To maintain a professional and effectively informative site, it seems realistic that these 2 things be imposed here on this forum; 1) people who want nothing more than to bash others are personally should be contacted by you, Jason, via email, and given the chance to obstain from trailor trash bickering (and then monitored under your watchful eye) or face 1+ week suspensions from posts at this site and then follow up by blocking their posts for whatever said amount of time- 1 or 2 weeks if they continue. And 2) within your (Jason) own opinion, make a new forum for the trolls, weenies, and trailor trash in which once the bickering has proceeded beyond 2-4 reply posts, is placed into a new forum post. You could call it the Jerry Springer Forum. That way people looking for fights, or those who are just severely upset by their lack of .... shifter length.... could go after their favorite person to bicker with in the JSF (Jerry Springer Forum). These posts would no longer show up in the genereal H2 forum, which frankly, they don't belong to anyway, once people start to be childish idiots.
This seems to be quite simple, other than it would be more labor intense for you Jason. Please feel free to contact me if you want to argue these opinions at mountainbikr@hotmail.com . See how we can avoid forum arguements by giving our email address for further comments!!

These sort of things have a way to work themselves out, always did and this one has. Jason's minimum management style works well. Being a Hummer site, not a Cadillac or Oldsmobile site, that is just part of the character and the rough edges come with a Hummer.

I causually mentioned to my wife yesterday, "there's an ugly fight at the Hummer forum". She said "don't they always?" Indeed, indeed, always. Maybe just higher volumn now and then.

I suppose I'll have to throw in my 2-cents here:

It's one thing to be clever, tease and have some rough fun.....but this stuff has well crossed the line and become embarrassing & disgusting.

I don't really know what Jim did to get on so many people's ****-list. He's always been a straight-shooter and an offroad enthusiast...the only thing I've ever noticed is that he (like many others here) tends to be a bit blatant and perhaps shares a bit more of his feeling/thoughts then some might care to hear.

I'm sure I must have missed some stuff...but still, you have to look at it over the long run: he's solid, a regular and didn't deserve to be burned as hard as he was.

My thought: respond to those you like and care about...ignore those you don't. Makes me wonder why MAC never responds to me anymore?????

Last thought. I own my own company. When I meet with lawyers, business owners and other educated people I tend to be more formal and repsresent myself as an intellect with some education and a bit of class (you know....try to fool them). At the same time, I have to work with my workers and come down to a ghetto mantality where we talk like we're wanna-be rappers living in the hood. Bottom line: we are all capable of presenting ourselves as we see fit.

Over the last couple months I've watched the forum relax and mellow. Some of this is good and what Alec is talking about...we feel closer, talk more openly and give eachother some teasing. At the same time....we've also introduced some nasty elements that are rather distasteful...it's become like the Jeeper Forum. The sexual references have gone from "R" rated to hardcore & disgusting. We've completely departed from clever & witty to just nasty & disgusting. I don't have to elaborate....I think we all know darn well what I'm talking about.

Damn this horse is high!

[MAC]

I always passionately respond to my fearless leader and I eagerly agree with my beloved and wise Supreme Commander, without any hesitation. I am indeed grateful that I am so fortunated to have you shine your benevolent rays on me and my fellow Hummer troopers. May you live forever and ever!

[argonaut]

I think that Jason's request is all that is needed. If there is a fight, take it to a PM. Period. end of story. That is whhat the involved parties in this debacle have done, just as Jason requested. The funny thing is that you guys would be so surprised how mellow that PM is... weird. I mean there isn't a "tub girl" or anything.

My personal opinion is that some of you guys are a tad bit uptight if that stuff bothered you so much, but what the hell, you are still good people. We all share a passion for the Hummer here, and that is what this site is about. But it would really be dry if that is all we talked about. there was a long period between trolls a long time ago where all that was said was stuff about our trucks. you know what? It was mostly negative comments about our own rides, and there were comments back then about how crappy the forum had become and how negative everything was. Then trolls showed up and people got to bash them and things were better. be careful what you guys wish for.

[Steve R]

Very cute MAC, looks like ya rubbed a few brain cells and came up with something clever. Or not.

We'll see what neurological pathways ya gave up when you try to talk tomorrow during that all important board meeting.....the one where you discuss the importance of trimming the hedges BEFORE blowing the (short) driveway?

If I remember it correctly, I had maybe less than 2-3 posts in Oct (Biz travel), 3-4 days no posts last week and many weeks, and have been at most only 0-1-2 posts a day for few months(too busy). Frankly don't know how it added up to 2,500. My guess they came from early months rapid fire posts as chat room conversation, we used to do that a lot, 4-5 people posted faster than you can read them.

As for sticking to Hummer ONLY.
1- What made us friends or enemies is not the Hummer stuff but non-Hummer bull****. That is the glue that kept us together.
2- 99% of the Hummer stuff have been said 100 times. I have been a good sport, never complain about reposts(most are), and I talked about the same old subjects dutifully.
3- If you are only interested in strictly Hummer talk, just don't click on other topics, or move on when you see non-Hummer BS. No need to not allow others to BS.

[RasterMaster]

I don't read as much as I used to, so I missed most of the banter. But it does make things interesting from time to time. If arguments wouldn't get personal or taken as such, it could actually be quite entertaining. However, it's probably healthier to save your strength to vent on the trolls anyway.

I like Argo's idea or whoever came up with it. I think picking on each other and spirited conversations make this forum interesting. But when something gets overly offensive, the thread gets moved to a new area called the "steel cage" or the "children's forum". Jason decides which threads go there, it's his site. Problem solved.
