not being disrespectful, but maybe you deserved to be blasted and called a dork? or maybe others are smarter, faster and sexier?

Being self aware is a skill that many never really master

I realize it is the nature of some people. It’s their personality, but I can’t understand why there seems to be so much combative conversation. I’ve seen plenty of name calling (Had a guy call me a dork recently because I posted an opinion thread.) I don’t know I just don’t get it obviously. Why on earth would someone who owns such a beautiful piece of machinery that is really just a toy if you think about it, be so angry all the time? I think the general attitude of these less than happy people seem annoyed at everything. You can almost see them rolling their eyes as they’re typing away a response that’s less than friendly.

It’s sad really.

Have be a better day!
The SNOWFLAKE generation is so sensitive they are reading something offensive into every word or gesture to the point that one can't say a word without offending someone somewhere somehow. That is what's really sad.

At this point, I think what is needed here is a good old fashioned thread saver

They used to call me names like B(.)(.)B N(.)(.)B, which really hurt my feelers. The bullying just would not let up. Just about the time I was ready to schedule with my counselor, to deal with the hurt, things turned around!

I've been upgraded to cleavage lady and sugar buns now. My future looks much brighter and I can honestly say that I feel like I really belong in CF now, and dog gone it, people LIKE me!!!!

Feeling hurt here? Just go to OT and mention you have C7 and you get real hurt feelings.

and I see a few OT'ers slipped in over here to wreck havoc on this thread.

I haven't gotten past the above post yet, but for those who don't know practically every Owner's Manual is on the web in the form of a PDF. A simple google search will find it.

Matter of fact finding the Owner's Manual for refrigerators and other appliances is also on the web.

Check out the number of posts by the poster. That'll give you an idea of how much Corvette knowledge the person has.

I'm on my sixth Corvette and, now, have a bit more than 700,000 miles in Corvettes: C1, C4, C5, C6, and now, C7.

There's a lot of knowledge on this forum, stick around: learn.
You really believe the quantity of their posts here necessarily indicates how much Corvette knowledge someone has? The more some members posts the more obvious it becomes how little Corvette knowledge they have.

Quantity of posts and quality of posts are very different. The quantity of "thanks" a member has received may be a better indicator of how much Corvette knowledge they have.

I have a C7 and don’t get hurt feelings in OT. I have a sense of humor and can laugh at myself. People should try it.

If you don’t believe it here’s my C7 after some photoshop work by an OT regular. I find it pretty funny. Some here won’t.
