So how you feel may be how the original poster felt about your replies. There is a forum for what you were doing and it's called just for fun. When someone asks a serious question, I really hate to see them poked fun of and not taken seriously. And if you sent me a PM, I never got it.

IMO you were mocking the poster. In your's you were not. We agree to disagree.

First off let me say that I didn't send you a PM. Also, I would not be in the least bit offended if someone did what I and several others did in this thread, and I feel confident that Angie feels the same way, but I can't speak for her. Matter of fact if the shoes were reversed I would have felt pleased that others could have some fun with the situation provided that didn't make it personal by directing their pokes directly at me rather than the situation. I do have a sense of humor and should since I dishing out enough of it myself!

I also want to say that it was not just you that aggravated me. There were three others that added to the aggravation, especially when the negativity first introduced itself - before your post was made. That poster however has pretty much shown his character numerous times in the past and their causing problems didn't come as a surprise me in the least. I feel confident that many others recognize that fact as well! There's even more that aggravates me as a result of this thread, but it doesn't involve your comments and I don't care to go into it and won't go into it!

So exactly what was said that was directed at the OP that would lead you to believe that I (or anyone else for that matter) "poked fun" at the poster rather than the squeak or the vehicle? I never did poke fun at the OP and the only thing that even came close to that was what I said in what I quoted above. Even then one would have to make in incorrect assumption that it was directed at the OP, and you know what they say about assumptions! Either way, that statement was never designed or intended to be about or refer to the OP.

Something else that after the fact makes me wonder about the OP! Was it a serious question being posed, was he legitimate, or was it someone, possibly a regular poster under a different account who posted solely to create a situation they could later start something over? It's funny that it was their first post, and to date they have only made 2 posts in that account, both on this same thread. My concern for that being the case strongly increased when out of the blue that suspected individual made a negative comment which I believe influenced your comments, knowingly or unknowingly, and the comments of a few others.

It's also interesting the the suspected individual didn't join in after the fact, like... lying low if you know what I mean! Add to that what I've already stated; I wrote to the OP after your post where I included an apology if something I said did offend them. Still to date I have not received a response to either accept my apology or to tell me to go to h***! So with all of that, how am I not to think that a troll is responsible for all this! Now, I'm not naming names because I can be totally wrong about this and don't want to make any unfounded accusations, and because simply put... I shouldn't do so openly! I do wish though that I had the capability to check the IP addresses involved, like the admin can, so I could either dispel or confirm my suspicions!

BTW, their being a "Just for Fun" forum doesn't mean that you can't have fun outside of it. If that were the case the discussions could get pretty boring and I've already seen myself being less interested in the threads since this all began. I know some may misinterpret the humor, but there is nothing I can do about that! I think others are now afraid to inject humor to an extent because of the mild bashing (but bashing none-the-less) I and several others have taken within this thread! Similar sediments have even been suggested to me since I curtailed my postings!

As for you apology, I accept you word when you say that you did not intend to drive us away and I for one will accept your apology if you in exchange will show me and the others enough respect to PM us if you have an issue like this or complaining to the admin if you feel it's serious enough to complain about and you feel that we are not approachable!
