Who is acting like a little kid and crying now. Stomp your feet and stand in the corner. I guess I will have to find my info else where. I thought that this was a place to share thoughts and answers to problems that we all might have. Not a place for you to think you know better than anyone else and they are just as you said idiots.im sorry you think so narrow minded and that you just live with what you have. From an engineering stand point we take what we have and try to improve on it not just except it. Thanks for your time have a good holiday weekend.

Normally I would not reply to such banter to prevent its perpetuation, but I would like to address a couple things said here...

I don't eliminate/delete the comments that other people make, especially if they do not agree with me. I encourage alternate opinion especially if it has good merit. My opinions are sometimes strong and I will sometimes re-iterate them to let others know that I am not going to bend my view on something, but I don't remove what others say unless what they post is something completely vulger, rude, and meaningless, like someone resorting to outright insults, threats, and/or name calling.

- I do ban/remove those who are only here to troll my forum though for the sake of perpetual arguments. There are people that come here just for that purpose just to tout their own glory, and I don't allow it.

There will always be people who do not agree with what I say, no one knows everything about everything, especially me. I think I have only had to outright delete someones posts once about a year ago. They were trolling the forum terribly just for the sake of pure argument no matter what anyone said and I had several complaints against them. They also finally resorted to insulting people with "your mama" this and "F$$ you di$khead" that before I finally said enough was enough. It is quite rare indeed for someones posts to get outright deleted, and even when they do, I always allow the quotes from what they regionally said in the replies that others made so it is kept in proper context.

Even if someone is trolling (trolling = disagreeing with others just to disagree and perpetuate arguments endlessly), I allow it if it has decent positive merit and will warn them that is what they are doing before resorting to taking action. Even then, I will usually not delete what they say unless it has resorted into an outright insult match, or it is misleading information meant to confuse people or advertise their trolling cause.

I will not stand for trolling and arguing just for the sake of disagreement, not one bit.

As far as "idiots" go, I am the idiot in that right lane everyone hates going 55 mph in an 80-mph zone out west in Wyoming and Nevada. Been driving like that for many years and have never had an issue with it. I get honked at, cursed at, and the carrier called that we are signed onto almost on a daily basis, but it is NOT going to make me change how I drive or make me speed up. Although the truck we drive seems agile at times, 18-wheelers are big, heavy, dangerous pieces of equipment. I am one of those very few who would welcome trucks having to slow down both for safety and for saving fuel and resources.
