Complaints?

[Skwerly]

Well, I hate to sound like a total tool, but I'm with Darky on the language bit. It's one thing to call someone an asshat (which is pretty dang comical, if you ask me), and quite another to use F-Bombs and street slang for body parts.

I always try to make my posts family-friendly, at least to some degree. A rebel is a rebel, but a pottymouth is just that. Pick up a thesaurus, y'all!

Damn, this thread has gone nowhere, fast. Let's just all agree to disagree and get back to being the helpful bunch of Cherokee owners that I'm glad to be a part of...

If SoCal BOD isnt respected, then we haven't earned it. goes for everyone else too. earn your respect instead of whizzing on an electric fence and complaining that its the fence's fault that it hurts.

Cal and Grimm stop trying to read into certain comments and spin them to seem derogatory. all that misunderstanding can start more e-drama. I get enough of that from my wife.

Does everyone need a beer and a hug or what? Enough of the e-drama and whining. If I've done something wrong, I expect you guys to tell me backchannel or call me. I'll buy you a damn beer and shoot the caca.

im not reading into anything Josh. i was just wondering why such a statement would be made when it has nothing to do with the conversation at hand.
excuse the hell out of me for Rob opening a can of worms he can't contain. if you dont want to know whats wrong dont ask just hush everyone up and edit out all the parts you dont want to hear. this is going nowhere. time to :gag:

Not sure what you mean about not containing. I have not asked anyone to hush up. I have edited the threads to remove the cursing - BY REQUEST!

I am interested in talk with anyone, just hit me up back channel.

As for the statement, I am not sure how many folks read into or took it the way you did. I meant absolutely nothing in particular towards anyone. You are not single nor live at home so I am not sure why you took it however you did.

I am not stirring any pots or pointing any fingers. I try my best not to do that.

From reading through the responses, part of the problem (I think) is that folks don't believe or don't want it to change. Again, no one in particular, but anyone can read through and see what I mean.

As a group, we need to not be so negative or narrow minded. We all need to be a littel thicker skinned. There have been some things that went too far or should have never been said. Airing things out in public threads is not the way to do it.

My intentions for this thread was not to air dirty laundry or drag up old personal issues. It was to bring to light some of the things we as a chapter can work on to make it a better place.

Robert,

I commend you for stepping up to the plate. Yes, you had to take a step back because of personal reasons. Family does comes first. I remember you posting up that you had important life situations to deal address. You invited members to contact you if they had issues. You even posted up your phone number to make it easier for people to contact you.

So, this is where the rubber meets the road. I think you'll do a great job now that you back and ready to lead the SoCal Chapter.

Like you said earlier, if someone thinks they can do a better job, then step up.

E

btw - The blue forum theme was better.

In general, you have my respect as a chapter BOD member, and you earned it.

What the [edited for rpraterxj] does that mean? I'm not trying to spin anything derogatory or be negative. I have gone out of my way to express my opinions without being negative or pointing any manner of specific blame, and within the ability of the context, be polite about it.

Does everyone need a beer and a hug or what? Enough of the e-drama and whining. If I've done something wrong, I expect you guys to tell me backchannel or call me. I'll buy you a damn beer and shoot the caca.

I thought I wanted a beer and a hug. I had a beer and looked around, but all I found was Cracker and a cat incarnate of Satan himself. No hugs here.

Did I ever mention how much I love this group!



Honest!

I am tired of hearing "someone PM'd me and complained" from Robert evrrytime someone has a problem with a post. WTF...go crying to the president? POST UP AND SAY SOMETHING.

For the record....I have NEVER reported a post for anything but porn spamming. I do find it annoying to have all the extra stuff in socal....But thats what Robert asked for, so I posted it here for all to see in an open forum. As of your post, I had already gone through and posted in several threads last night that I thought were misplaced. I did so all in plain sight, just as you suggest now.

The way I understand it. If it's jeep related (like tech) it has it's own forum. Stuff that we as SOCAL want to discuss shouldn't be a problem. Most the "BS" posts you refer to probably have more views than threads you would want to see.

Yep, that sounds about right. But how would you know what I want to see??? And they might have even more views if they were posted in tech or non tech accordingly.

READ some of the threads lately. There are threads about going out to the races and watching. I don't NEED to be that SOMEONE. I just think people bashing guys who want to go run their rigs more (even though its not HARD CORE) is weak.

Right. There are threads about the stuff you want to do. I happen to despise "watching" a race. I don't watch races or any form of sport on TV or otherwise. I feel they are for the most part boring and usually worse in person. So should I attend an event that I have no desire to be at?? You'll kindly notice that I have never posted anything negative about any of these events (with the exception of letting folks know about Azusas shortfalls). You might even notice that I just generally ignore threads that don't interest me. If more folks here did that, there wouldn't be all this bickering now.


Andy, please don't take this or my previous post personally, I was not directing it at you or anybody else. Just call them how I see them.

I feel the same about some sports, and if I am not working a pit at a race it sometimes can be boring, but I think it's more about hanging out with your Friends and it gives you a good reason to get together. It's like Nascar, It sucks until 3-4 of you friends come over, crack open a few beers, and all of a sudden its fun. I would never watch Nascar alone, Boring!!

i did!!!

I felt a little irritated!

 

[ruggedjeep]

The ONE issue I have is there has been to much bullshit off topic threads in the so cal forum. We have 2 places for random chit chat BS and yet it always ends up in the chapter forum.

:wstupid:
