I am still not seeing the connection here. If I don't agree with something a friend of mine says, I just don't say anything. Have I ever condoned or supported the shit talking from my "posse" that I don't like from other people? Have I ever said "It's ok for Btstone to be this way, but it's not ok for you to be that way"? We all know that it's just a big drama fest talking about Btstone's car, and there's no definite right or wrong answer. He's shared info with me about it that he may or may not share with you guys, and whether that info is true or not is beside the point....because you guys are all just SURE he's a liar because you don't like him.
I have never agreed with Thacker trying to race people that are slower than him for money, and I've actually told him that IN PERSON. We're still friends, but there are a lot of things he does or says that I simply don't agree with....he's different than I am. Smacked has called out slower cars, but he's also gotten beaten by cars that are supposed to be slower than him (remember what his reputation was when he first got on here?) so I honestly have no problem with him. He is usually respectful with his initial callout, regardless of what the discussion may turn into. But unlike you, Smacked doesn't try to downplay his car at all. He posts his dyno numbers, suspension mods, what tires he will be on, and we all know he had an 11.7 for the longest time, before he beat that with an 11.4 recently. And those times are all pretty accurate to what the car SHOULD be running, unlike the near 2 second variation you like to pawn your car off on. Which, by the way, I didn't realize your 14.1@99 was done BEFORE your valvetrain job....which makes it even more bullshit that you tried to use your old time to describe how fast your car is currently.
Yes, I am going to have more of a tolerance for shit from my friends than random people...but who doesn't? You and your "posse" do the same shit on here as well. But the thing is, I don't "LET" them act a certain way because they are my friends, I have chosen to BE FRIENDS with these people, because they are NOT the same thing that I rant and rave about on here. People do not understand the difference in someone who talks shit for fun and amusement, and an actual shady douchebag. I will admit that I make assumptions about people online, and the majority of the time I am right. Until I see things change and find that my observations about people are wrong quite often, then I will continue to be that way.
As far as my altercation with Phil goes, I don't see how that proves your point. I never once told Phil I'd fight him, and in fact told him several times that night I wouldn't. I make it obvious, online, that I'm not ever going to fight someone over a stupid internet argument. The reason Phil and I don't get along, is because I think he's stupid and hypocritical. The FIRST words out of my mouth when Phil called me over to the side and snapped at me tolding me to "cut the bullshit online," I said "YOU STOP BEING RETARDED AND I'LL STOP SAYING SHIT TO YOU ONLINE." I couldn't really make it more obvious to him, how I felt and I have no desire to try to make up or be friends with the guy. So I don't "back up" what I say about him because I didn't fight him? Is that how you gague how serious someone is about the words they say?
I don't try to find races with slower cars than me, nor do I go around trying to pressure slower cars into racing my friends' faster cars. I don't dig up personal information and post it into threads, in an attempt to try to describe why I think they don't agree with me about cars or racing.
The difference in online and real life, is while I'm reading and/or participating in a thread is: Online I can't control when you or others speak in the same discussion that I am involved in. In real life, if I don't like you or you annoy the shit out of me, I CAN JUST AVOID YOU. Which is how most adults would handle things. There's NO REASON for me to come get up in someone's face and tell them how dumb they are, just like there's no reason for them to come to me and say the same thing. The night with Phil solved NOTHING whatsoever....all it did was create a short-lived thread in the Whoreslounge. The only reason I decided to make an effort to stop saying stuff to him online, was in that thread he FINALLY respectfully asked me to just stay out of his threads, and he'd stay out of mine...and he did it without copping an attitude or calling me names.
YOU seem to be the one with a toughguy attitude that thinks we all have shit to prove to other people, as if there's some kinda sacred "street rep" that is vital to our social lives, and must be supported by physical threats and assaults.
