I am getting frustrated reading threads and having people jump down each others throats getting all defensive. I love this website but I believe it is time for all members to take it upon themselves and patrol this site. The attacks are not as bad as other web sites but I believe the general consensus is that it has increased. When someone focuses comments towards an individual it can become hurtful and an effort to anger the original poster. Do we ever see Indy striking out at another if he does not agree with the person? I think not. It is sad some of us do not even possess the edict restraint and courtesy that this young man is capable of. The original poster can be just as guilty by bashing or undermining someone elses credibility. Think before you post or you will lose the privilege of engaging on this awesome website. I feel better now! Thanks Snow Monkey!!!

Oh yah, Ford boy! :)

Just kidding of course and I agree with you about always picking on Indy. He's a good kid though and seems to take it all in stride.

You can report any post that you think is inappropriate and an email is sent to the mods to determine if it should be removed.

PS: Are you at hte dealer on M-59? Let me know and I'll stop by. Thinking about trading in my wifes minivan for something else. (Even though I'm an anti Ford guy)

Sometimes we (I) can come off all wrong. Like Christopher Walkens (actor) would say, "It's the wrong tone, Your talking to my guy all wrong". from Joe Dirt. It is hard to type and get point accross without sometimes coming off wrong. That's were the smiley faces come in. I only know how to do these :) :( and ;) anyways posturing is imposible for the most part. As far as mods. well they can come off wrong also. They are human too. I find that the bulk of us mean well, maybe Indy can give us a lesson in making smiley faces again. Snowmobilers and Harley folks are amongst the most loyal in the world for brand loyalty. This site is already pretty candy coated compared to places such as HCS or Slednutz.

I disagree with the first part of what I quoted. He has the most posts because in my opinion, he gets in arguments with people on almost every thread he responds to.

I think this site is getting out of control. Someone asks about Yamahas and people are saying the ETEC's are burning down? WTH? He wants to know about Yamahas and thats all.

We the people of this nation need to pull up our bootstraps and start acting our age. That goes for this site as well.

Picking on Indy is part of the fun here! Yes, he is a walking snowgoer but who cares? All teenagers know everything. He doesn't go after others personally and he is interested to learn, so I don't see the big issue.

Smileys are difficult? Just click on the smiley-face icon at the top of the message entry window, then click on your choice from the drop-down list, no? :p
