As with the first one, I'll post a "racing tips" story within a day or so.
It was funny, in a wrong way.

Re: What Price Friendship?

IROCNROL1, don't apologize. Anyone with language arts skills above that of a third grader could have sensed the sarcasm. Those who misunderstood the post should be apologizing to you.

I bet quite a few feel like schmucks about now...

You're right, that's what I get for skimming the post! I missed most the parts meant to be satirical.

You know IROCNROL1, this is emotional trolling and against GMI rule 721, in section c, sub clause 3.5, paragraph g. Accordingly, stand by for a keel hauling

Re: What Price Friendship?

I usually don't comment on these "personal sharings" posts, but be the story true or the elaborate fabrication you now say it is, you have just evaporated all your credibility for me...too busy here to try to sort out facts from mind games as I visit to learn cool car stuff here.

I could be wrong, but it sure seems like satire, to me.
Satire, yes. The best of literature.

I understand completely. It's all true, but since I received so many negative responses from people that I thought would support me, I figured denial was the best course of action. Thank you for your honest comments, but obviously you don't know me. Lack of credibility is one of my strong points, and I work very hard to maintain it.

I'm sorry that you are so serious that I wasted your time, but hey, I did post in "non car related". I think the world is plenty serious enough as is, and if I can make someone laugh and brighten their day a little, then I'm more than willing to put up with the flak that may accompany it.

BTW, be forewarned. I am going to post the "racing tips" thread that goes with it shortly, and I hate to ruin it for everyone else, but yes, it's entirely fictional (almost). Have a great evening.

Tim

First off, we are homosapiens, not neanderthals...you should NEVER let ANY situation degenerate into fighting and physical violence. that demonstrates a lack of restraint, discipline, and most importantly, emotional intelligence.

Also: If you tell someone 'you got their back' it DOES mean if someone trys to hurt them you physically step in and intervene FOR YOUR FRIEND'S SAFETY AT LEAST (not if they are going to hurt someone but if they are getting hurt...its called "doing the right thing" ESPECIALLY if you egged him on and influenced/instigated him into that action. YOU are the wayyy older adult, and although I recognize everyone has to be held accountable to their own actions, you should have helped him physically to stop getting hurt. not hurting the other people, but at least separating the three of them, not chickening out by calling the cops.)

sounds like you are looking for justification "I art holier than thou---my 'former' friend is scum and should realize the benefit of having me in his life---i am God's gift to mankind---and I love making mothers feel Horrible"...not getting ANY from me assuming my initial premise in my post is accurate and I did not misunderstand you. YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ANYONE AND NO ONE IS BETTER THAN YOU. DOESN'T MATTER HOW MUCH MONEY, INTELLIGENCE, OCCUPATION, ETC. THAT YOU HAVE, we are all HUMAN and we are all EQUAL under the Natural Law that governes all human beings as well as many faiths doctrines, Muslim, Jew, Catholic, Christian, etc.

Friendships and relationships are a two way street. Things are not always rosy, there WILL be arguments, there will be miscommunication, there will be issues that challenge the fabric of two person's friendship. This is a fact of life.

CobaltSScrazy
1. I would take exception to your utterly uninformed remark regarding Neanderthals...except as a member of the inferior race homo saps you really couldn't know any better.
2. I nominate you for the PC Speech Award for October 2007. All the keywords are there.
3. Hopefully they'll cover satire in Lit 202.

Seriously? That's a tough way to go. Oh well, you gotta clean the keel somehow.

Hey sorry to trouble folks with that Ignore question; I tried that "USER CP" tab and it made clear how to do it. Now back to cars stuff.

Goodbye old friend.

I'm sorry you were forced by unknown forces to read everything here.
That is sad. [:>(
