I joined in a discussion on another board because the topic interested me, it was an area where I had some expertise, and a couple of the posters seemed like genuinely interesting people. We had a lively discussion going on for a couple of weeks.

However, this was in the off-topic section of the board, and the main topic did not interest me. First off, I notice no matter how much I post, my total stays at zero. Posting to off-topic threads doesn't even count. Fine. I don't care. But then one of the mods tells me, in the nicest possible terms, that he's been very patient, but I've been hanging around an off-topic thread for two weeks, and I'd better start contributing to the rest of the board or get out. Huh? He acknowledged that I brought a lot of good information, got along with people and clearly meant well, but basically posting exclusively in an off-topic thread was unacceptable to this guy.

A few people came to my defense, I found nothing in the rules (which I always consult before joining a board), and I looked around to see if there were any other threads I wanted to post to. In the end, I had no desire to hang around a board with such f**ked-up priorities and left.

I'm with you on that one Andy.  I joined a forum a while back, did my best to contribute, but eventually got banned because of my views in an off-topic thread.   Thumbdown

It was a forum about self-defense of all things.  You might guess I disagreed on something related to self-defense law or something, but no.  It was a thread about religion, and basically the entire forum was EXTREMELY down on Islam.  I got banned for, essentially, claiming the regular Bible and the Koran both have some pretty awful stuff in them.  And the mod claimed it wasn't because of my views, but rather because I was clearly unable to express them honestly.   Lookingup  Right, and this on a thread where all the half-literate anti-Islam morons spouting hateful crap that bordered on racism and was often filled with logical fallacies, and of course none of them ever got banned. 

In the end though, I figure it was for the best I got banned as I think the idiots on that board would have driven me crazy if I'd kept posting.  But it was pretty frustrating at the time.

Guys who don't wear shirts in public.  Granted its one thing to be at the beach or poolside.  Its another thing when a guy is in a Walmart parking lot.  These are usually the guys with some lame @ss tribal tattoo on their arm.

Flames on vehicles. I hate seeing cars or trucks or anything that moves with freakin flames on it. It doesn't make your car look faster or cooler, its generic and tacky and adds absolutely no artistic value to the vehicle. I always argue with my friend about this, who insists on putting flames on everything he owns.
Oh and also don't put some big gay spoiler on your little honda civic. It looks horrible and like it was made out of a erector set.
I advise anyone on this forum who has flames on their car or truck to immediately repaint their vehicle with something original and if you have a spoiler on a car not worthy of having it immediately remove it.

Speaking of car decorations, I can't stand people who slap more than two bumper stickers on a car.  I saw one today with...literally...20 on there.  Of course they were all political in nature.  Lookingup

Most of the aftermarket spoilers I see are installed without any regard for the carefully-engineered aerodynamics of the car. I really hate it when they're stuck on the trunk lid where they either aren't going to get any proper airflow or they're going to interfere with airflow. Not like these cars are ever driven fast enough for a spoiler to be of any real use. It just looks stupid having a spoiler nowhere near as high as the roof directly in front of it. It looks even stupider when the spoiler is higher than the roof.

And yeah, growing up in the 70s and 80s, the dinky little four-banger cars kids are doing up these days are a joke. You want a hotrod? Take some of the money you're spending on subwoofers and chrome doodads, and get something with a V8 in it.

I wouldn't put one bumper sticker on my car. I could never clutter it up with crappy stickers that are just going to peel, fade, trap dirt and ruin the paint.

Daylight savings time.  Still can't figure out the point.

I think it was so that farmers would have an extra hour of daylight to work with or something. Beats me why they can't just wake up an hour earlier (that's what they do in Saskatchewan since there is no daylight savings time there).

My old battle wagon, the "Silver Bullet" (an 88 Subaru Galaxy Wagon) was HELD TOGETHER by dirt and bumper stickers.  One of the stickers said "DO NOT WASH - THIS CAR IS UNDERGOING A SCIENTIFIC DIRT EXPERIMENT!"

Right now, I have a my McCain for Prez sticker, which has held up pretty well, a "Fire Nancy Pelosi" one that the RNC sent me, and another one that says my true sentiments on life:

"PEACE LOVE  ARTIFACTS"

Graffiti.  Its one thing to spray a beautiful mural on a blank wall in an uninhabited building with permission. Its another thing to spray a bunch of crap on a private property vandalizing. 

Agreed, but what's even more grinding are the pretentious schmucks who style themselves "graffiti artists" and act like their doing a public service by bringing "culture" to the streets.  If anyone actually wanted to see their art they could open a gallery, not inflict themselves on the public.
