I’m not a mod, but I can guess they’ll tell you to flag, dismiss, and not give them this attention.

Yeah, it happens. Were you part of that diesel thread that brought all the trolls out a few weeks (?) back? Man, I got some VIS COUS replies.

You can’t really call yourself a Jalop until someone calls your car a “piece of crap”.

Specifically:

The launch of Kinja has given you, the commenters, access to a number of tools that used to be admin-only. This means less work for us, but it also means that you, the commenters, need to be more responsible for your conversations on this board. If someone is harassing you in response to something you wrote? Dismiss them. If the conversation is unproductive, walk away. If someone is chiding you for cursing too much, dismiss them and walk away. Basically, we expect you all to act like adults and therefore to handle conflict like adults (this applies even if you are not technically an adult).

If you run into a situation that you are unsure of how to handle, or if you find a troll or have a persistent issue with another commenter, feel free to contact any of the mods for assistance. You can find us on-site or email us at oppomoderator@gmail.com or contact us on Twitter .

I think it’s all right if we don’t like the same cars/things. But you could be a bit more polite with your opinions .

I don’t know, I may have been, I usually get into diesel discussions.

Was thinking of that as I was stuck behind two stinking diesels today.

2 things you should do...

1 - ignore them

OR

2 - enlighten them on the true beauty and elegance of early 90s minivans, which are the pinnacle of automotive engineering

Haha, Some people’s kids..

Would you ask Zoidberg if he likes Nissans?

Would you tell HFP he should get an awd?

Would you ask CoFL what his daily is?

I sometimes tend to be a little snide in my online comments. I try not to do it here,oppo is my good place, the people here tend to be down to earth and are interesting.

Flag them and carry on.

It was quite hard to resist going apeshit on them though.

Yep, they sure were thick.

I probably would, but I’d be poking fun.

I know I can be a little “strong” in my opinions at times, but I try to keep it civil on Oppo. I feel we can all handle a little fun poking, but being a dick is normally out of the question.

Yeah that was a cluster. Now NW Montana is being invaded by hipsters driving JDM diesel Hiluxes, this is like a whole different level of stank.

I have a sneaky suspicion some of these trolls are the the amyer egos  of some of our less mentally stable members who have lots of time on their hands...

More or less. Which apparently means I am a gay-homosexual-liberal-Prius driving-fucktard. I was really upset that they accused me of driving a Prius :)

Oh, and a bunch of them went off on me about how bad electric cars are for the environment, despite the fact that I said nothing about electric cars whatsoever.

I saved screen shots of some of the really juicy ones, they’re good for a laugh. Here’s a couple of them.

funny how people like that fling around the “gay” slur at people, when I’ll bet you real money almost all of them watch UFC/MMA.

‘cos nothing says “I’m a proud straight American man” like watching two sweaty, muscular guys wearing nothing but  tight shorts grope each other on the floor.

probably found your post via Jalopnik somehow.  a lot of us got bounced from there and anymore there’s mostly just a bunch of immature jerks left.

Vans are dope. You do you.

Your van posts are great. I get excited when the hunt is on for something new. It’s fun to read about the highs and lows that come with the challenges of breathing new life into these forgotten machines. It seems like it is a ton of fun and am thankful that you are willing to share with us.

Cheers.

Here is a small sampling of the replies I got condemning those who remove the emissions equipment from their diesels. I have grown very sensitive to noxious fumes as I’ve gotten older. Which is annoying to no end to me. I can’t stand the smell of 2-stroke anymore, and diesel fumes give me an instant headache.

By the way, I never mentioned ele ctric cars in any way, but several took me to task about how bad their batteries are for the environment (which, they are, but that’s another discussion, and it’s hard to take somebody serious when they go off on rants about my sexuality and manhood because I like to breath clean air.)

They don’t understand the holiness of having tons of the same v an in different flavors. Also, he misspelled "AT least"

Funny enough, I was at the gym during the 2018 World Cup. I can’t remember exactly, but it was a game that underdog Russia won. I remember a guy saying “wow, soccer is so gay”, and to my response of well yeah I’ve just always played and been a fan, his was “I’d rather watch two dudes beat each other up”

My only thought was your second paragraph, but at that point I realized there’s no point in responding.

Sad I never got to drive my parents 94 Voyager. Was wrecked before I had a chance to drive it. It was white with red interior and I think the 3.3 L V6. All i remember it was a v6 and had alot of torque

We then moved on to a Montana and Odyssey.

I will attempt to stick that into my head-movies. I spelled it first as “vicous” ... which I knew was wrong ... obviously I added the wrong letter on the wrong side of the c.

The 3.3/3.8 have gobs of torque down low, that’s what makes them fun ;)
