Even the brightest of you guys have lowered your standards. Its odd though how the younger members of the site are the ones NOT carrying on the nonsense.

This is funny that the younger guys (including myself) are the rational ones trying to keep the peace around here... and that they are from the Northeast! So much for the "m*********" name... we are the ones trying to restore the peace around here. Ignore AJ and move on! I can't believe one guy is causing all this!

Come on guys... this isn't why I joined this site... when I joined it seemed like a great place with great people and great information... this site was one of the big selling points for buying my marauder!

What's the point in an ignore button if everytime someone being ignored makes a post, a new thread is created to say you're ignoring said person? Joe?

Who's next to run off? I can't imagine how many MM owners and enthusiasts have seen the BS that continues to play out on this site, and decided to not join, or leave.

I've got an idea. Stop the post counting all together. You can prove yourself by what is said in your posts, and not how many you have.

I like what you have said above. There will always be useless posts to many people because we know the answer, but people here have posted tons of info that just needs to be found. People like Aren Jay that post 15 new threads an hour about trunk space drive me nuts! Come on, get a tape measure and do the math or even easier go and do some research, stop being lazy! And this all leads to the statment of the year, prove yourself through the QUALITY of your posts, not QUANTITY!

Quantity, and I am guilty of it today as well, but normally I am in the background watching and learning, but I was board today so in I went! But this post count thing is stupid. I thought that the more posts you have the smarter and longer you have been around, but there is one person that is the opposite, the more post the more of an idiot he becomes and the more useless he is. But that is life. So maybe like Hot-rauder i will take off for a while until Aren Jay gets reined in or leaves.:beer:

So I'm a little on edge today...I ignored a huge quantity of the troll's posts...doesn't that count??
Besides, my threads have a habit of getting deleted, so I have to start more...I, like others who I try to ignore, just can't help it!

Who's next to run off? I can't imagine how many MM owners and enthusiasts have seen the BS that continues to play out on this site, and decided to not join, or leave.

If he post's a thread and no read's it or respond's to his post's then how long can he stay around?

I can't believe that the younger guys are the most mature in this situation... EVEN WE FIND IT JUVENILE! I signed on today and somebody posted like 20 new senseless threads... you say he is wasting space, but you guys are being just as senseless! Ignore him as said and move on! I have met some great people on this site in the area and I am glad that they seem to share the same views as me on this subject so I am still proud to be an owner of this car because the people in my area seem to have a level of maturity... Too bad hardly any of them own marauders anymore!!! haha Thanks for ditching me guys!

To answer your question, people who differ from one another eventually fight about their differences. It's part of human nature to fear and hate those who differ from oneself. The less mature refuse to get over it or are unable to do so.

This answer can be applied to every conflict in known history.

:PHave to disagree a bit. People all differ from one another to some degree. What makes communities like this forum work, is a willingness to join the crowd. I don't know the first thing about most of the other members, but I've chosen to be here and try to add something to the overall group dynamic. If I am completely out of step, I expect to be told so. If I can't get along, then I would quit the group.

In this case, AJ has had no interest in assimilating. He is clearly self aware enough to fit in if he chooses. The mature person alters their behavior if it clearly is outside the group norm/ or is disruptive. AJ knows this but for his own reasons has made a decision to be the thorn in mm.nets side. It's a form of attention seeking. You see how well it's worked for him.

As to how he has been treated by some of us, I can't support the personal attacks. I have spent time with most of the outspoken members. You couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of guys. Their hostility is so out of their normal character. It speaks to their extreme level of frustration. I would have preferred that his behavior ( mindless posts calculated to annoy) been truely ignored with the hope it could be modified. Instead he's played us. We don't come off looking so good. We are a whole lot better that that. I may not agree with the way some of my friends responded to AJ, but I understand. Just wish it hadn't come to this.

Maybe conflicts should play out... I, for one, like a good Internet fight! Let's everyone see the participants true colors.

I don't participate here much anymore because it has become a bit too "stiffling", if you know what I mean. We're done talking about marauder mods, how fast they go, who's tune is better, which vendors to stay away from. It was fun when the car was new but now it's just a car. A discontinued car at that.

I'm so far off the beaten path with mine that I just tune in here to see what dumb thing will be said next.

I see your point. Chris and I was talking about the same thing yesterday. Personally I am still excited about my car and making improvement every year. John you should post more about your car.

It's a form of attention seeking. You see how well it's worked for him.

As to how he has been treated by some of us, I can't support the personal attacks. I have spent time with most of the outspoken members. You couldn't ask for a nicer bunch of guys. Their hostility is so out of their normal character. It speaks to their extreme level of frustration. I would have preferred that his behavior ( mindless posts calculated to annoy) been truely ignored with the hope it could be modified. Instead he's played us. We don't come off looking so good. We are a whole lot better that that. I may not agree with the way some of my friends responded to AJ, but I understand. Just wish it hadn't come to this.

Thank you Paula!...You 'Hit the nail on the head' with this post.

You don't have to be a look alike, 'you best get get in line and conform' zombie on this website.
We are all different and that's what makes it fun.
But someone who continously antagonizes on purpose, and floods the website with useless posts designed to provoke a response,
all while contributing nothing to the website doesn't belong here.
Go find similar dorks who appreciate your type of worthless bothering.


I see your point. Chris and I was talking about the same thing yesterday. Personally I am still excited about my car and making improvement every year. John you should post more about your car. I think it's one of the coolest project I have seen for sometime and would like to know more about how it's coming.

I'm right with you Mark!
My Marauder is 6+ years old and I still get psyched every time I hop in and fire it up!
I've still got lots of mods to do on my Marauder....(Yeah, I know...they're still in boxes in my garage!)....and I look forward to it's continuing evolution.
There is something to be said for taking your time....;)

John, please hang around and show the newer members THE SICKEST Marauder on the planet!

It might be worth noting that many of those who have been most outspoken against the disruptive behavior are the same guys who do a lot of the heavy lifting around here. Some of you newer/younger guys have noted that they are the senior members. Well they are, in many cases. They are the one's posting valuable technical info, planning events, designing T-shirts and caps, and showing up to enjoy and support our common interest and hobby....our Marauders. It occurs to me that they are also the one's who see their cars and this site as more than a passing fancy. It's more like a passion. Like Joe Walsh said, he still gets a thrill firing up his Marauder. A lot of us still do. That may explain some of the differing views here. The more passionate the feelings, the more passionately the urge to defend. :)

Have to disagree a bit. People all differ from one another to some degree. What makes communities like this forum work, is a willingness to join the crowd.

For a disagreement, it certainly sounds like you are reinforcing my point. Everyone fights. It's the children that can't let it go.

Very good points Ms. D............ But that's what I'm having trouble understanding in this situation.......... These are people that I have great respect and admiration towards trying to whittle someone down to a nub....... AJ may rub some people the wrong way, but he is supposedly being ignored..... Yet people can't stop talking about him....... I just can't stand seeing people getting ganged up on, and I would never do it just to fit in....... Sorry if this post makes me an outcast but thats just the way i am.

My whole rub with the situation here is this:

We own a car that was designed to be a musclecar from Mercury. It is portrayed as a car with drag racing heritage and built with racing parts and a stance that says "don't **** with me". We are racing and modding the car in every sense of the word, out racing them on weekends with the boys and beers, and yet we join hands here and are expected to act like we're in church! WTF?

We don't slap each others wrists when we're at the track yelling F this or SOB that. No, we are men with our toys acting like it. We throw fits when we can;t get traction, break a motor (GDMF!) and so on. yet we log on here and the worst thing we can say is "boobie" and then that is frowned upon.

No, if you want to be a car site, then BE a car site. if you want to be a church or your mothers living room, then look elsewhere.

THAT is the problem I have here.

Logan did this once a while back he started a "new" site call the "Darkside" and let members post whatever they could type. IMHO some members NEVER recovered from that folly. You might think it will make you feel a whole lot better if fire all your guns at once at someone. When the somke does clear you see how wrong it was. Best to just ingor those that bug you:) You will be a lot happier in the end:up:

I don't mind the verbal slaps and jabs at someone when they are asking for it. You have to be careful what you post, there are people (myself included) who will crack a joke whenever the opportunity presents itself. If it's something technical and informative, I leave it at that, I don't say "your post sucks" or "your current mod/project sucks". Some folks will burn your post to the ground if you actually ask for everyones opinion, but you should expect comments from one end of the spectrum to the other when you ask for it. Personal attacks are all fine and dandy by me (and even at me) if you ask for it, but you run the risk of meeting that person and it might not turn out quite so funny in person. I will visit here 20 years from now, still driving the Marauder (God willing), and will still laugh whenever someone says boobies. I just wish there was a set donation price to be able to curse like a sailor, I hate erasing and retyping, lol. Oh yeah, I'm done with this thread, :censor:'s!

I hope that it is a permanent ban. He has demonstrated repeatedly that he just can't take a hint or be a positive force here on the site. He has gone from annoying to disruptive to destructive in the last few months. It is time for him to join "Menace" in the ranks of the permanently banned.
