Reason one: you suck.

Reason two: There are things you will hit.

These things include but are not limited to: curbs, trees, lampposts, school buses full of orphans, my pet goat that escaped that I'm trying to find, grandparents crossing the street, other cars driven by people who shouldn't have to put up with your shit.

I hope you have learned a lesson here. That guy in the Baja Bug sure hasn't.

There is the perfect abandoned parking lot next to an old dog racing track near where I live, that would be great for practicing drifting but they gated it off to the public.

Cut the lock one day. Dispose of the lock. Come back in like a week. Claim the gates were open if questioned.

I have considered doing this every time I go by. the parking lot is also concealed by a few trees as well, seems like a waist to just let it sit there.

How do you know he hasn't learned his lesson?

because he openly mocks people for pageviews

You really have a hate boner for him don't you? As I am not one to publicly drift streets I assumed that his jokes weren't aimed at me, but were instead satire. Everyone else seems to get the joke.

" Personal attacks , call to arm posts, asking who the most reviled commenter or community here is, essentially any commenting behavior which specifically negatively attacks another commenter, area or member of staff with the intent to cause disruption or general harm to a specific commenter or to the community at large is verboten. You will be warned, suspended or banned depending on the severity of the issue and other criteria."

Or to spell it out to someone who appropriately uses "halcyon" but struggles with basic implied concepts, I don't care if you have an issue with a member of staff, but either you are unable to effectively communicate using sarcasm, or you actually do have an issue with one (or more) members of the Jalopnik staff and / or Oppositelock community members. Between this and the comment which I am assuming was dismissed from the original post that you shared to Oppo (which, btw, I unshared), leave the personal attacks / professional attacks off of Oppo.

it is satire. i am satire. literally using someone's exact words is not an attack; the juxtaposition is funny for some. apoligies,

no hate boner, the juxtaposed irony of satirizing someone using the same words they use is humorous to some people..

I'm not sure I believe you based on certain comments ( 1 , 2 ) but no good will come of speculation or doubting intent.

Except he is the first person to call himself stupid when he does so. You seem to dislike the fp authors a lot, judging from your comment history.

Satire is best used sparingly, like salt.

What makes you think he was street drifting when that happened?

I know I have been complicit in stirring this pot, but goddamn, can we ban this clown yet?

stop trolling me. that is all you do. constantly.

stop trolling. that is literally all you do with me.

agreed; time to use less salt.

WTF dude? Why should he be banned? You constantly reply to him in every post he makes, even when he's basically asked you to leave him alone.

Why is he allowed to continue to post when literally every single thing he clicks "publish" on is a backhanded shit-stir? All shit-stirs thinly veiled in "satire".

I love oppo because it's a great community of folks who like to talk cars. I respect that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but these are not opinions, these are troll posts aimed to get a rise out of anyone, at all . Recently I've been responding to Raphmoe to try to eek some semblance of a meaningful discussion out of any of his posts, but am usually confronted with some nonsense answer or accusation. I'm fed up.
