Clever analogy Stan, but unfortunately it's not a good one since I doubt that anybody on this list is offended by it. It does however say a lot about you. Somebody politely points out that a phrase you are using is offensive and derogatory to some people and your response is essentially FU? That's some pretty "entry level class" there Stan.
I still don't see you listing the people on this list who have an "entry level speedster," but after that response I'm guessing that you might just be willing to do it!
Jim. Did you really think that was funny? I'm VERY surprised!

Troy,
Get a grip man! Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill! Let it go!! I can state with full assurance that it was not Stan's intention to offend you or anyone else on this site. Wild Bill was making an ernest attempt at difusing a rediculous rant on your part. Who cares about the verbage Stan used other than you. More than likely everyone else recognizes Stans' comments as being benign, and his efforts to make a very practical recommendation based on his experience. You have embarrased yourself by responding to his post in such a hostile manner. "Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool,than to open it and be proven one"!

What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Some men you just can't reach...
So, you get what we had here today,
which is the way HE WANTS IT!
Well, he don't get it!
N' I don't like it any more than you men.
OK Somebody buy Sludges car!

Time to chill....
Wow.
Ouch........ugly.
It just reminds me of the old Monty Python skit about the guy looking for the 'Argument Clinic'. Still cracks me up.
I didn't understand a word of Stan's post...but I will admit to:
Having an entry level speedster, fact is it's a FiberFab, which I believe is lower than entry level.....
It gets me from point A to point B in approx the same amount of time as the rest, is just as reliable, but, and this is very important..
For a fraction of the cost of most of the rest....and, I look cooler than most (especially Gerd).....
I am looked down upon by many, but it has nothing to do with my "entry level" speedster, and I am actually proud of that....go figure
Mr Sloan, You are a good guy, you can't win this battle, I suggest you give it up, before you make yourself look to silly... This group (for the most part) could care less how people perseve them....
Is Mr Sludge's car still for sale?

Hi Vince. This is an atypical role for you...the voice of reason. Take away his horns Theron! lol ;-)
I was never trying to "win a battle" or be "hostile." I was politely pointing out that a term being used could be perceived as a "mild insult" by some and I even said I'm sure there was "no intent to offend." I know I would appreciate knowing if I unintentionally did that and I would never do it again, but I guess that is just me.
You're correct that most of the people on this list could care less about how people perceive them and I'm one of them, but that also means I don't care if anyone thinks what I said makes me "look silly" as long as it doesn't offend anyone. Far more silly things than this have been posted on these lists.
So, that is the last I have to say about this. Besides, I have to focus on the used, less expensive, silver and blue speedster I will soon have up for sale.
