If I read that correctly, it's just stupid.

I have wasted my time for having read it and hold Squid directly accountable. Squid, you officially owe me three minutes redeemable upon demand.

interesting mix of view points.

From that thread, I love this idiotic statement from DaGimp.

"I understand what a hybrid is, but thats not the source of the problem.
Until theres more education, you tree huggers can't do a thing, it's inevitable the earth is doomed."

Um, moron, who are the ones trying to educate people about the problem...could it be those that you affectionately call tree huggers?!

I have to say, he certainly does prove his point about needing more education.

I'm with Tony... I, too, wasted my time. I actually have Squid on IGNORE due to his irritating animated avatar, but did read this one post.

It has become my habit to IGNORE those forum participants who use animated avatars. This keeps my sessions more peaceful. THANKS PriusChat for having the IGNORE capability.

Yeah, well your avatar sux too!

I'm GLAD I'm on your ignore...

Sheesh, provide an article for more perspectives on how non-Prius owners see us, and look what I get?

modernsituations · 03-23-2006, 02:40 PM

not really perspectives, kinda seems like uneducated people just bitching because they can't go 85mph on the freeway.

don't hate my hybrid because you want one.

Now now, let's not jump at Squid for the post. I was half-joking when I said that Squid owes me three minutes, but not that it was a waste of time. There is nothing wrong with the post or its location here in the Main Forum.

I can't define an obscene thread, but I know one when I read one. And this is not one. Let's not turn it into one.
