"broad generalizations...."
Seems like this is your wheelhouse...

Why do you think I am from the Midwest?

You seem to also think I am not educated, and that I work in the farming industry. I have two degrees and working on my third; and I work in R&D.

Guarantee jackasses like this don't have the balls to speak to people face to face like this.

Regular keyboard gangster here. I love the east and west coast elitism, it knows no bounds.

To be fair, people have been fleeing NY/NJ for FL for like the past 60 years.

Try to refrain from name calling guys. Remember, we're on a forum about tiny trucks which are supposed to be FUN. It's easy to get worked up about politics, but take a deep breath and step back before responding.

Whatever makes you feel better pal. I’m actually a blue collar guy- spent the last almost 20 years as a tree climber/arborist, wife’s an epidemiologist.

And I wouldn’t say anything here that I wouldn’t also tell you to your face. Only reason I have time for this nonsense now is because I’m home taking care of family.

That's not how this site rolls. "Offensive" stuff isn't removed just because one person deems it so. If you don't like it I'd suggest not looking at it and definitely not quoting it! This is Chit Chat where, historically, almost anything goes. If you stick around in this section you're almost guaranteed to see more "offensive" stuff. That's not my rule. That's the way it's always been.

Thanks for the response Tim< I agree with most of what you said, but I'm not just one person who it bothers, but maybe just one who it bothers enough to speak up. Just because that is the way we've always done business doesn't mean that we can't adjust our thinking a little bit. Do you think that just maybe there are just a few kids that look at this site (especially now with all the schools closed) and what message it is sending to them about what we think is ok? I've been around since 2010 and I know how this thread can get carried away! Still doesn't make it right.
Thanks for listening and once again just my 2 cents worth.

It's just somebody washing their hands at a sink!

I, for one, hope this site never moves farther towards political correctness. The site was cleaned up years ago when Google Adsense or something like that was activated and I think it's as PG-13 as it needs to be. It's not my site and there are tons of other mods though. My opinion doesn't rule here. I'm just helping out.

Well from what followed it has taken that country down a self destruction road.

I expected so little and on a daily basis you seem to be living up to it. I would think that someone who is trying to “ help out “ the site would recognize certain issues. Funny how you just roll with it cause “historically” that’s what it has been but soon as you get called out on an issue you change your opinion on the matter.
This is one of the main reasons I am done with the shit show that goes on here and have stopped posting up. I know I am going to get bashed for my thoughts but could careless

If there’s a post that’s making anyone uncomfortable please report it and we’ll discuss as a mod group on how to handle it as needed. That doesn’t mean we’re guaranteed to act on it, but it will be considered. This would be more productive than putting it up for debate in a chit chat thread as A) the debate is inconsequential and B) no one around here will ever agree on anything except that tiny trucks are cool.

These times suck for a lot of us right now and the country as a whole is hurting, let’s keep that in mind and remember that it’s a community here and an escape from the day to day shenanigans and trials and tribulations of life. We’re all just user names on a computer screen around here so don’t let anything ruin your day in real life.

Charge a pack, smash some triggers, and smile at these toys we make.

Thanks for the good advice man. It’s funny to actually read that yes, this is a site for people who share a love of tiny trucks. Puts things in perspective

Hey Mark, just because a small few think post like that are ok doesn't mean that it should be a norm for all. As I see it we have followers and leaders on here and it is very easy to pick out who is a leader!!! And who are the followers. This is a great site and I would hate to see just a few followers chase you away from sharing some of the cool stuff you do with you're trucks with the rest of us! Just my 2 cents bud.

Very nicely said young man, if I would have receive that direction after my first post I would have gone that route!
It seems very hard as a group to step out of our boxes. As you guys have seen from some of my builds and post, is not hard for me. So, just because that is the way we have "rolled" in the past doesn't mean we have to continue rolling that way in the future! I'm not pointing any fingers, just stating my opinion.
All of you mods are really helping keep this site afloat and we applaud all of you! Keep up the great work.
And "roll on tiny trucks, roll on"

What are you even talking about? I mentioned the history on this site and I said I stuck behind it. I didn't change my tune.

Do you really think we should delete a photo just because one or two people are offended by it? Shouldn't the masses rule? This is a forum and the Chit Chat section no less. You have to come here, voluntarily, and view it. Also, overlooking something versus being offended is a CHOICE.

If you're done, then why are you still posting?

If it offends you don’t keep coming back. No reason to change something cause it makes one or a few not the majority’s butt hurt. It’s chit chat buck up ❄️
