Nope, my car thread was devoid of anyone coming in and ignoring the topic that I started and instead posting a picture of a completely unrelated car. You're just too quick to defend Abe.

That is like saying Jeffery Dahlmer wasn't a murderer because all his victims weren't killed... BTW he attempted to derail your thread too. Obviously you don't remember. Maybe you are too quick to defend Rob.

Again, your thread. We said most. And most threads about cars do get derailed with talk about other cars. As other people in here have pointed out to you. Not even including me. No one said "Rob was bad in Laminar's thread" That is the argument you are arguing. Even though Rob DID attempt to derail your thread talking about other cars and rants that had nothing to do with yours.
You're just too quick to defend Abe.
I guess everyone else that told you the same thing was too.

Here are recent examples

And look at your OWN thread

http://forums.macnn.com/89/macnn-lou...1332/new-ride/

This is in YOUR thread, from Rob

Now if we bring up your vehicles, which are trucks., we could discuss that you get shitty handling, braking, acceleration, and mpg all because you prefer them and don't actually have any real use for a truck. :|
What does that have to do with your car?

So yes, not only does it usually happen, it happened in YOUR thread.

Just like we said it usually did...

Apology accepted beforehand.

But all of those flowed from conversation. There was something relating each of the topics, just as a thread should be. In this case there wasn't even a "This reminds of of the Atom" stuck in there, just a post.

Huh? No one was talking about such things when Rob went off in a tangent.

Your topic or therad had nothing to do with trucks, or how they handle like crap etc. But since it's one of Rob's favorite things to rant about, he brought it up. Just like he does in MOST car threads.

How about just putting abe on ignore if he irritates you that much? Or pvt messaging him about such posts if they concern you so much. I mean come on..

Maybe you just don't like abe? Maybe that is why his post bothered you, and Rob's did not.

At least abe's was worth reading, and insightful. Not sarcasm and hate filled.

You don't get it yet, do you? You can't debate anything rationally with Zimphire, because he doesn't believe in rationality.

That's why I just post this whenever I see him:



And now that Zimphire has **** all over this thread, I see why it should be locked.

Be careful, he might get pissed if you keep calling him Zimphire.

Why would I do that? It was a handle of mine in here once. And I still use it on IRC from time to time.
