Gary, I dont think it is a table turned issue. My best recolection is. When you finnaly got fed up with your trac problems. You did alot of rubbing it in some faces. About how much better the toyota was. Posting pcs over and over and things said. I know that you dont hate fords. What can you expect though, this is a ford site. The same could happen on any other site.
I tend to disagree with TJR about the imaturity issue, for the reason above. Yes Im a ford person. But I have had other brands in my life. I can agree that other brands build some good vehicles. Also ford has some problems also. You dont go to a new dentist and tell him how good, your retired dentist was. Especialy with his hand in your mouth.LOL..
Im not not trying to condemn you. So take what I say as a freind. Awhile back, I myself was getting burned out.About your complaining about the trac you no longer had. And how much better the toyota you replaced it with is. This was before you and Tom were pushing buttons.
Well in the midst of that I used some not nice words and got myself temporarly banned. I believe most people on here are inteligent and mature. I believe everyone has lost there cool at one time or another. For some maybe not on this board. If anyone says he has matured past never getting anrgy and reacting wrong. Well that is a lie. The one thing I will agree with TJR on is the baiting that happens here. After awhile most folks would be tired of it. They are apt to react without thinking. It has nothing to do with maturity or ego. It can very well be the emotional state they are in. We cant know what is happening in their life, away from this board.
Even Tom and very possibly myself needs to stop the baiting.
With all that said. This is for Thomas..
Some aren't well adjusted enough to have their opinions challenged. They take it personally, as if it is an attack on them and then they lash out accordingly.
My experience shows that the problem is typically caused by low intelligence, low ego and low emotional maturity. It won't change without some serious soul searching and/or therapy.

I tend to disagree. For the reason IMO, I have watched 99.9% of opinion differences, actually being attacks. Or call it baiting or as I said awhile back. The comeback from some is spoken in such a way to belittle or trying to change the others opinion. The conversation started out that way. Instead of sharing ideas.
I dont think I have an ego problem or do I think Im emotionaly imature. Iam a human with faults. But I think that statement is confrontational. In such a way that it draws a conclusion that I would know someone out side this board. I do agree that some including myself need to think before inserting foot in mouth.
Maybe I have spoke too much here. I just know that Im no more qaulified as a therapist than any on this board. We might have some certified therapist here with tenure in practice, duno.
Exception to members that have met and I like them. We only know each other thru what we type. I have met people that in type, I didnt think much of them. After we met they were cool people. Then I have met others that I thought I would like. In type they sounded inteligent and cool as if you would want to be a close freind. In real life after meeting. I could care less about them. Kind of full of themselves.
I want to say if what I have said here, has been offensive. Im sorry and please forgive me. None of what I have said, was to be mean or in anger or hatred. None was to be a conclusion, only observation. I like to hear others ideas and opinions. Not much fun when it is an attack or said to belittle or said in such a way expecting the other to change their mind, to think like them.
I wish peace and freindship for all of us.:smile0006:
Blessings, Eddie
