Just a matter of time till you run into the cops...

Oh, I get it... because we're moderators we can't act like ourselves? Please. You're sorely mistaken if you think I'm neutered by my account status.

Anyway, the whole arguing against street racing in the street racing thread thing is simply juvenile. I know it isn't smart, and I wouldn't advocate it. I told a story. Now the soap boxers on the forum find the need to shit in my thread on the basis of their morality?

MOVE
THE
FUCK
ON
PEOPLE!

Oh, wait, can I not say that?

The ones arguing against it are juvenile?

GROW
THE
FUCK
UP
PEOPLE

My point of you being a moderator is that you have made judgments about other threads being inappropriate due to illegal activity, yet this is ok? You represent the OWNER of the web site, correct? You make judgments, "moderate", on his behalf, correct? If you posted something about playing with guns in public or other idiotic adventures, you would get the same "morality" responses...

I represent the owner? No. I represent us. There are two rules on these forums: no personal attacks and no beyond-the-red-tape vending. Other than that, its fair game... and that is one of the great things about YarisWorld. I don't legislate morality, nor do I make persistent posts judging the morality of others. I'm smarter than that.

Don't pick a fight with me jdium. If you don't like the topic, don't read the thread. There is no nudity here, no offensive language... just move on.

Smarter than that eh?

"By the end of the turn I was going 95 MPH and probably pulling a full G"

I'm not picking a fight. Just because I don't high-five you and say Good Job, doesn't mean I don't like the topic. I don't understand how you can be proud of something so reckless?

Just stating my opinion, and asking you to defend your actions. "that is one of the great things about YarisWorld."

If you are so offended by the morality of my posts, why dignify them with a response? Move On...

if this is the case, then elsteverino's "drunk driving" thread should be unlocked... free speech should not be limited to moderators...

Actually, we received a complaint from a user on that thread.

You guys want to believe so badly that there is some huge moderator conspiracy here, don't you?

i dont believe in a conspiracy at all... i believe that as a moderator you have an extreemly tough job ...

Everyone has their own vision of what YW should be ... and its your job to determine what gets posted, and what doesnt...

personally, i dont want to see "i tried a new drug", "funny drunk driving stories", or "street racing" posts... but as a matter of free speech i think they should all be allowed...

what is the difference between an adult who choses to street race, drive drunk, or experiment with psychodelics?

.... users are complaining about drunk driving posts, should they be locked?

... users are complaning about drug posts, should they be locked?

... users are complaining about the street racing posts, should they be locked?

I dont have the answers to any of these questions... I'm asking that your answers be consistant...

OK jdium.

I've spoken out against street racing on these very forums before. I don't think it is right and I don't advocate it.

However, as a 22 year old male citizen of the United States with a serverely recognizable car, I get called out from time to time and my testosterone forces me to do silly things.

I did a silly thing and decided to post it. I even threw in a little disclaimer to try and deter folks from posting garbage rants in my thread.

Didn't work, did it?

Now that I came clean, can you stay out of my fucking thread? Do you feel better?

DO YOU ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING?

Well, too bad you didn't get my point. Maybe when you teach your toddler how to be responsible you can grow up a bit too.

I don't always do the right thing, but I don't risk other peoples lives for the thrill of it. I had a very bad wreck when I was 17 in a 5.0. I was a "good fast driver" too. After the accident, I grew up. My wife is a paramedic, she sees the after effects of people like you often. It's not worth the risk...the fact that's not "blatantly obvious" to a 22 year old says something...

I know you are going to take this post personal, I don't care. Maybe it will stick with you a bit next time you consider a crowded roadway a maze...

Why would I take anything personally from someone I don't know? I could care less buddy. Glad you got it out, though.

Here is something to channel all that energy towards. I look forward to hearing the story of your ongoing crusade oh virtuous one.

For the record, I would have smoked the kid on a track too! Actually, I'm drunk right now. Maybe I should attend confessional tomorrow. I'm so ill-behaved. My Mom would be ashamed.
