    Jibberish?? Seriously, I have to ask at this point, do you take pride in acting ignorant and having a limited vocabulary?

    I'm not even trying to pick a fight, it's an honest question. What makes you want to ridicule me for being verbose or well-spoken or whatever seems to 'annoy' you?

    see, what i think shes trying to say is that usually, when u talk on the internet on forums and stuff, u tend to keep it simple and to the point.
    If i want to see a bunch a vocab words, ill go read a book
    Not saying anythign bad against u, cuz a good vocabulary is important (something i dont have) but just try to keep it simple on here

    I don't ridicule anyone for their own posting style. I never even said that I thought you were stupid or ignorant, but that you seemed to feel like you had to act like it.

    You started this particular segue when you decided to give me shit for, wait for it... sounding too smart?

    What the hell? Jesus couchfucking christ, what is wrong with you?

    No, that's just what you see nowadays. It didn't used to be that one would be made fun of for using a three syllable word.

    I've been part of the online community before forums were called forums, and they were BBS's and newsgroups.

    I don't care about other people's posting styles, I understand that the internet is not a lot of people's fortes, but for god's sake, don't make fun of someone for sounding intelligent on a message board.

    Why's that? My last dyno run was 255/285.. correcting for drivetrain loss (about 19% in this case) you get about 315/350.

    That was on a dyno with some heat soak and 93 degree air temp.. so why would you be inclined to call BS?

    Please. This forum tactic has been used, and overused, since the days of 2400 baud modems. It does something like this.

    Person A: Says something.
    Person B: Assumes a bunch of erroneous tripe and says something retarded.
    Person A: Corrects them publically, Person B now officialy pwn3d.
    Person B: Continues on the track of a losing and one-sided exchange, wallowing miserably whilst insisting that it's for their 'entertainment' and they're merely 'using' Person A like a pet monkey.

    Give me a break.

    Uh, I usually do, in general conversation that's not centered around dyno runs, mods, or tuning.

    As you can see, I have no issues saying what my WHP was, I put down 255/285 last time, since the last mod and tune.

    Still calling BS, or did you just think I was talking about whp?

    Sweetheart, I regularly engage in unthinkably volatile political flamewars on fark.com as a hobby.

    This is like 'Playskool's My First FlameWar(tm)' for me, seriously.

    Can't we all just be nice?

    Well you said you drive a 315 hp beast. If you want to get technical only 255 of that HP makes it to the ground, therefore you'd drive a 255 hp beast. Since you lose like you said 19% of your power.

    Ok, so it's a 315hp beast, or a 255whp beast. The torque # in my opinion is more impressive regardless, but honestly, why are you bothering with discussing semantics? Just to make me use smaller numbers? Fine by me, I have no need to impress anyone. Tell you what, I'll even go ahead and edit my first post, so that everyone's on the same page, k?

    Can we be friends now?

    No, you weren't nice.

    If you had been nice, I would have been nice.

    It is not my general practise to be anything less than genteel to nice women.

    And since I have yet to be genteel to you, you were not being a nice woman.

    Now can we make up like mature, friendly people, or continue to take potshots?

    I can recognize that, but I also have a fairly low tolerance for unwarranted BS and useless shennanigans.

    Like I already said, this isn't strenuous for me, and I'm honestly not taking it terribly seriously, a large part of my vigilance regarding the thread is because a) I started it, and b) I want to correct any errant first impressions people may have recieved due to miscommunication or getting off on the wrong foot.

    That's all, really.

    It's entirely possible that you and I share the same propensity for abrasive humor, without taking the time to consider whether the people against which we are excercising said humor are familiar with it's caustic tendencies.

    So, if that's the case, then we can say that both of us have been the pinnacle of civility up to this point, even if it means we keep treating each other like crap.

    My folks are Canadian by way of Europe, so sometimes those spelling variants creep into my diction. I write my 7's all weird too.

    I publically flog myself every time I find myself putting a 'u' in a word that shouldn't have one.

    I know, it makes me twitch when I read the words like that, which is why I punish myself when I do it.
