There was one comment that really rubbed me the wrong way, I am exercising restraint right now.

DISCUSSION (20)

What GT Share? (being serious, didn't see a share, curious as to what you are referencing)

Thinking the post on lane-swervers.

Ah... thanks. Didn't recognize that as a share. Looked like normal oppo traffic from the front page. =)

What happened the last time something got shared to either of them? Someone wanted to leave Oppo. Stay out of it.

I'm doing the same.

I had to leave the page quickly because I got pissed off

Aaaaand I think I know which comment. Did not sit well with me either, and I was sarcastic in my response.

An Oppo poster requested to share here so we could all bitch about lane swerving (generally not cool in traffic) and lament the destruction of a Raptor at the hands of a Juke (generally UNFORGIVABLE), not a big deal.

I've wanted to leave Oppo over stupid shit as well, (and I have left football blogs over serious shit), I just didn't write a whole post about it.

I've read through the share and the comments. And I've got the following advice:

Can you maintain a polite discourse on a topic that you feel someone else is incorrect regarding a topic that you are passionate about? If no, then I appreciate your restraint. However, if you can, this is an excellent chance to potentially share your passion, knowledge, and opinions. Unless you are talking about the ratio of "manhood" to size of vehicle, in which case... well, I laugh these off, and if pushed, remind people that I drive a New Beetle. =P

In all seriousness, the topic is absolutely one that is of interest here, and I don't see this as an inappropriate share. Thanks for creating a post that allows others to share their opinions on a thread other than the original.

What comment was it?

Was it the "big truck little dick" comments? We make sexist jokes over here about soccer moms, trophy wives and "blonde" drivers, so that one didn't bother me (if that was it)

If it was, I replied.

We don't need to start arguments about it though. That's why I was saying to stay out of it.

It appears that post was very tongue-in-cheek, but nice response ;)

I should have pruned that conversation as soon as it appeared. Sigh. If I do it now it'll just be very.

Very, Heather. Very.

Kinja'd!!!

Is OK, looks like she was not being at all serious.

Still. Today in casual sexism...*sad fart noise*

No it wasn't that one got a chuckle out of that whole thread and the responses.

It was not about the size of the truck to man hood ratio, that was funny. I just don't appreciate when some people are clearly sexist while trying to maintain the guise of feminism.

Haha, I wouldn't leave oppo because some angry jezzies yell at me dude, I've been on the internet for too long to be offended anymore. I'm just trying not to start a shit show because some sexist moron wants to run their mouth.

Im not trying to start shit but there was a lot of double standards in those comments.

Exactly what I was saying in the O.P.

That's the exact reason I didn't comment on it. We get yelled at for making jokes but they don't except for when somebody here says something about it. Really stupid and idiotic.
