As I've never actually taken a look at that newsgroup before, I decided to skim through just now to see what's up. I was curious about the guys who sided with Brently. I spent about 15 minutes reading this and that. Well, I'll tell you this: I've never seen such a conglomeration of self-righteous, misguided, and paranoid geeks, nerds, and dorks in my life. The amount of time these idiots spend dredging up pointless news articles to impress each other is incredible. What *real* drivers accept as the game of travelling from one point to another, these buffons use as fuel to feed an eternal, do-nothing, whining machine who would have the world believe they are the upper crust of cage pilots. I could *feel* the increase in blood pressure just reading the subject lines. Now I know why Brently ASSumed I was "lashing out" at him. This is what he's used to. He bathes in a cauldron of toxicity. Thank god I have the brains not to waste my life on constant, impotent, redundant critiquing of events and situations that have little to no bearing on my daily affairs. Now I know the ilk that spawned Road Rage. What a pack of complete losers. They be very scary. |

Politically Correct feminization that society has foisted upon us? You
guys whine about disappearing rights without realizing what has
happened to the male gender.

keep your vehicles in your possession so you could drive around and
whine about traffic rules.
Funny thing. I was one of the guys who dissected new cars, analyzed
and recorded wiring circuits pertinent to our industry, recorded the
findings into a resource database, wrote installation manuals and
magazine articles, taught seminars to sales and installation personnel
around the country, and helped troubleshoot installs on the
manufacturer's tech line. And yet I've never been a geek, dork, OR a
nerd.

Enlighten yourself. Geekism, dorkerosity, and nerdness are all
personality afflictions. They are instantly recognizable, and are not
tied whatsoever to occupations, hairstyles, or choice of adult
beverage. Perhaps it's something you might ponder for a while.

accepted 'reality', just like under posted speed limits. Of course with

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
