I dont care if someone is being an e thug. I dont care if someone is being an e thug and back it up in person. I dont care how strong you are, how well you can fight, how well you can argue, what your views are, or anything like that. If youre not mature enough to handle a computer, a message board and your thoughts and feelings all at one time then you shouldnt be on VM or the internet alone.

It gets beyond frusterating when mods and admins like myself have to come on here everyday to people bitching and complaining about whatever. Having to read over and over again PMs regarding someone making fun of someone else. Someone saying something bad about VM. People bringing stuff to my attention that doesnt really matter at all.

Think about VM like any other place on the planet. Maybe hanging out at Tim Hortons, or at work or something like that. Would you act the way you do on VM as you do in those places? Its a simple task of being mature enough. You got guys on here that have been bashed time and time again. AdamCL is a good example. I mean when he had his Saturn and then his Golf and now nothing people still make jokes and stuff about it. You know what the difference is about that? He seems to be able to handle it. Ive never even heard him complain about anything. He knows that most of those comments are in jest, but when it gets to the point where someone is making threats against another member or club thats where it has to end.

No VM member should be acting in this way. Good humoured ribbing is totally fine. Like "Hey Rob your Colt sucks :P" thats fine. But saying something like "Hey Rob your Colt is a piece of shit and you embarass everyone by driving it on the roads. Whats your problem? You need to grow up!" personal attacks like that are not tolerated.

Im not saying dont argue. Constructive discussion often contains arguments. 2 sides fighting for a conclusion. Thats no problem. Thats benificial. Immaturity is the problem.

You have a problem with a member PM them. Ask them whats up. Have a problem that cant be solved then ask me or any other mod Ill be more than happy to help, but Im not a baby sitter and nobody else is, nor should we be at any point. We are all old enough to drive (except lilsteetracer LOL), we are all old enough to act like civilized people.
