Why you should change your oil

[Stimw]

Why do ALL yout threads end up with an obligatory GM bash? I dont think you can help yourself. lol
I currently on both and I get out plenty. Not a "bow tie boy" or a "blue oval boy" either. I bet I get out a lot more than you. Just hauled hay through Indiana in fact.
Ford's got plenty of shortcomings.
Just sold the last of our 6L trucks. I just gave the buyer all my out of warranty repair receipts. Over $10,000 in 2 sets of injectors, turbos, head gaskets, head studs, and about 50 other things. One more 6.4L to get through.

You forgot that he has to throw in personal attacks, he can't just respond to the statements while defending his Fords are wonderful position.
Too many of his posts include brand bashing but I guess with over 11 thousand posts the Mods don't have time to monitor them all.

If you dont like his posts and feel that they are over the line, stop bellyaching about it, hit the "Report Post" icon (

) in the bottom left corner of the post and bring it to the attention of the moderators.
With almost 1500 posts on TBN in the last 24 hours, the moderators cant read every post, so give them a hand rather than just bellyaching about it.

Or just block me. There are a few on here I have blocked so I don't have to read what they write.

Aaron,

If you read this sticky posted at the top of these forums, it doesn't seem like complaining to the moderators about a forum bully would be received with very much sympathy. I think his legendary posting numbers and supporter group get him a longer leash than the typical TBN member. I have less than 200 posts and have been insulted as a GM truck owner repeatedly.


Perhaps it's a cabin fever epidemic, but there's been a flurry of posts in threads that did not live up to the high standard of civility TBN is known for. These posts resulted in the threads being closed. If you cannot make your point without name calling, brand bashing and in a manner that respects your fellow TBNers, please rethink what you've written. Thank you.

1. Don't take comments made by someone on the Internet, who you don't know and have never met so seriously.
2. Seeing who reports posts in this forum to the Moderators is interesting. Major cases of the 'pot calling the kettle black".
3. You don't have to defend your favorite brand. In the long run, and the short run, it doesn't matter.
4. Report posts that violate the rules, don't play moderator.
5. TBN has always been about sharing experiences, good and bad. Just because someone else had a bad experience with your favorite brand, that's not an insult.
6. Use common sense. Political threads belong in The Front Porch. Most of the people who post a lot in this forum know the topics that are political.

If you can't say it nicely, don't say it.

Why? I was here when those were put in place and it was getting pretty nasty at that point MUCH less brand bashing now than there was then. Below are the stickies:

We ask that anyone posting in the Trailers & Transportation forums refrain from brand bashing with terms such as Durajunk, Powerchoke, etc... It is not acceptable in the tractor brand forums and, as such, is not acceptable here, either. Thank you.

If you feel that he is breaking the rules, report the specific posts.
If you feel that the reports are being ignored, PM Muhammad about it. When he isn't traveling or sick he responds to PMs fairly quickly.

Oh I think Muhammad does a great job, I just think some of those stickies really influence the less popular lower post number member from complaining about the anti-other-than-Ford bashing.

Making the generalization that "These bow tie boys don't get out much" IS bashing and breaks the rules as I understand them: "If you can't say it nicely, don't say it."
"Don't get out much" to me means, "you're stupid/ignorant/don't know anything".
It's not worth complaining about.
At this point it's just easier to give him special dispensation or ignore his posts, as he suggests: "Or just block me. There are a few on here I have blocked so I don't have to read what they write."

It's funny how we can talk tractors all day long and get along with each other but when it comes to trucks we can't get along.

And saying 'Fords are disposable" isn't brand bashing?

Fords are disposable!
Chevy's have Oil Life warning system.

Seems like the two comments balanced each other out

but it's not worth complaining about.

[sarcasm]Ah, its not worth complaining about to someone who can do sometime about it, just worth griping about it on here where nothing will be done about it?[/sarcasm]

I have to admit this thread has taken a bizarre turn. Been following it since the start with interest... saw Chris' response to the dispensable Ford comment and thought it was a throwaway, lighthearted response... a quick jab back at the original jabber, and done in good humor. Now 2 pages of what seem to me to be unsolicited and unwarranted harrasment, starting with the accusation he is being petulant to a helpful BIL. I don't get it. Maybe I'm too new to the forum and don't have enough history, or maybe I'm just too thick-skinned to be offended when someone pokes fun at my tractor color or truck badge, but Chris' contributions are ones (among a good number of other regulars) that I'll intentionally read as he strikes me as helpful. I just don't see anything worthy of reporting, though some of the recent additions to this thread seem to have no purpose other than picking on a poster. What am I missing?
