Not referencing you specifically we are all good. I'm just saying in general, usually, when you ignore that person they go away...addressing them the way we are seems to make the forum lean to the childish side vs the serious side.

We also had the disco Mike thread, which I understand he rubbed people the wrong way sometimes, but the dude generally meant well. I mean, who here, besides Mike, has offered to call anyone and help? His maintenance thread has helped countless members and I will say, being in maintenance 30 years, pmcs is the key to having a vehicle with low maintenance costs...

Location in your profile is big to me, if you're in any of my surrounding states I may actually drive to help. I've done it to a couple people here.

If someone is jumping accounts and trolling ban them, but on the same token, name calling should be curbed as well.
Would you stay here if I said those of you with thermostat problems are morons? Probably not. I do laugh though..

One of the special things about this site is the lack of trolls and politics. People genuinely helping people, and I have been helped greatly by it, hopefully, some are learning from my mistakes and dumb questions. Owning this trucks is a journey.

I see it a lot on my other vehicle forums. It is easy for us older people to scoff at their ignorance, but we don't realize how lucky we were growing up.

I see a lot of this on the BMW forums. I thought I would learn more on those forums about BMW diesel engine tune ups or modifications. NOPE! The posts are more about 'Help! My CD/DVD is stuck in the radio!" or "Help! where is my oil dipstick on my $100K BMW?". smdh...
