My thought on the "Click (funny inside)!" threads...

[Rob WS6]

Alright... contrary to popular belief, there IS a line between busting balls and belittling someone. God knows Im a big ball buster all the time and get it right back... its all in fun and for a good laugh.

But Tsars pic threads are taking it WAY too far. Theres a difference between making short jokes at Casey and photochoping his head on a pic and making a picture to purposley make someone feel like ****.

Think not? Think again. Ive been in WayFast's position when I was his age. I know EXACTLY how it is. I know EXACTLY how he feels. The difference between me and him? He had the balls to show up to an event by himself, infront of some people who constantly make fun of him. That took some serious balls right there and I give him ALOT of credit for showing up. I probably wouldnt have shown up if I was him.

Take when we were all under the tent... Slasher Barb actually got him to smile and laugh a bit. Thats funny stuff... not making pictures to make the kid feel like total crap. Thats messed up.

If you feel the need to belittle a 14 year old with pictures to make yourself feel better and "cool", then you need some serious help. Its really sad that your picking on someone who isnt even old enough to properly defend himself.

So yeah, heres the deal. Im sticking up for this 14 year old kid, because I know how he feels and because I didnt have anyone to stick up for me when I was in his position. I stopped by and introduced myself at the meet when he was sitting alone and he seems like a good kid.

So if anyone wants to belittle this kid and make him feel like total **** about himself, from this point on, youll have me to deal with. Can you really expect a kid to defend himself against people 7+ years older than him? Sure he gets annoying with his posts and what not, and Ive busted his balls for it too... but NO ONE deserves to be made to feel like total ****ing **** like those pic posts did. Period.

This isnt a treat or anything... its just how it is from now on. I dont think we need personal attacks here, especially on a minor. ;)

Oh yeah, and Tsar... if your gonna make fun of someone, at least use propper spelling next time! :laugh:

I didn't even have a motorized vehicle till i was 17. My Dyno VFR was my main source of transportation prior to that.

Then, I didn't even start working on cars till I bought my 91 bird, and I overpaid on everything and paid someone to put my eledbrock headers in. Then I found the wonderfull uses of a message board and read read read and read some more, and sometimes I still do stupid **** when working on my cars.

Matt only got on my nerves at first when he kept pic whoring my threads, and sometimes now when he asks rehtorical questions. :)

It was good to see him at the track, soon enough he'll be able to enjoy himself by running his car. If it was me that those pics were making fun of, I wouldn't show up in front of everyone. That puts him up a few pegs in my book.

We is proud of you Matty!!!!!!!!!

Haha. Hes from space he doesnt kno how to spell.

And i give mad props to wayfast for showing up to an event where there where ppl. that nake fun of him hard core. I agree with Rob with saying that took some balls. And i also kno how it feels to be made fun of hard core. I use like 4 feet tall and 75 lbs. fresh yr. of high school. Totaly got the locker stuffs and all that but there is one differance. I turned around grabed a baseball bat oiut of my buddies locker while one kid was making fun of me hardcore, walked up to him, he said, "yea like the bat would help u". I said, "NO the bat is for u to use" then out of no where WHAMMM, he got kicked in the balls then a history book to the face, and then it all changed.

rob, i can see where you are coming from, but i am going to close this thread because it could be just as inflamatory as what you are trying to defend against.
if you would like to discuss this further with me, tsar, or wayfast, please take it to PM's or AIM.

-thanks
