The Jerks of Online Forums

First!

 

Hilarious in a sad sort of way, but I did learn something of value: The Ford Pinto was actually an excellent car if you only avoided rear-end collisions.

Now why did I not already learn that here?

 

Sadly, the point in the example could have been well made in a second sentence attendant the first with an appropriate apology and regret at a better offer. No further comment was required. The respondent was well within his rights.

A bridge burned cannot be crossed again.

 

Fail.

 

We all fall into at least a couple of those categories now and then

 

I was thinking about this very topic the other day, and it caused me to consider the utility and overall awesome-ness of this Hill Engineering shift gate: http://www.ricambiamerica.com/product_info.php?cPath=600_536&products_id=224420.












(ducking for cover, as #2 perp on the list)

 

From what I pull up when I google ferrarichat, it seems like Rob Lay is one of the "jerks" - at least in the mind of some guy from WY. Ummm... weird!

 

It's funny that some of the longest running threads here exhibit the largest number of these types. Or is that tautological?

 

Is that loony tune still around? Thought the guys with the net that were after him, finally caught him.

Can you say, "jerk off" on FerrariChat? Oops, "of".

 

Jacques Trapp?

 

No profile for the Boob Fiends?

 

Anyone else immediately had a certain thread in B&I in mind when reading about jerks #2 and #4?

 

Nearly said it but then realised it was a different forum it'd been posted on.
Was a couple of years back too. Quite a while ago.

 

Is jerkitude a word?

 

As is "Ellen Lameblow".

 

whatever

 

There is so much room for expansion of that list of disagreeable forum personality faults.

For example, here's a fun shopping list of personality flaws: incompetent, intolerant, inflexible, timid, cowardly, violent, aloof, glum, stupid, simple, insecure, irresponsible, vulgar, lethargic, withdrawn, hostile, selfish, unhappy, unhelpful, cynical, needy, unimaginative, inane, brash, cruel, ignorant, irrational, distant, childish, boastful, blasé, imperceptive, chaotic, impatient, weak, embarrassed, loud, vacuous, panicky, unethical, insensitive, self-satisfied, passive, smug, rash, dispassionate, overdramatic, dull, predictable, callous, inattentive, unreliable, cold, foolish, and humourless.

The slide show was good but I really didn't understand "#8 The Smarty Pants" one.

No.

As a former eighth grade spelling champion, trust me on this one.

 

....the board has already met on this matter....

I don't want to be a jerk, but why is this under "Ferrari Discussions"?
