An interesting extrapolation. I call a few posts "hate posts" and now I see a gross generality of "we're haters".
A great spin to the hate posts.
Those that spread hate posts are haters by association.
Now if someone wants to reform from posting hate then saying "I don't hate anybody" is a good start.

Come to think of it, I think I'll turn a new leaf too.
No one is a hater on this forum. They just made a mistake if anything and posted a hate post. Most do not post hate, they post honest opinions. If I disagree I say it but I don't claim their post is hate. Therefore not all claims I make are "you're haters" as you claim.

I think you nailed it.
I won't respond anymore on this tread.
It'll die down soon now as soon as the rest of the frustration is aired.

Omg! My 13 year old daughter and her friends have less drama. I have read thru these forums, don't quite see hate or religious hate.

Hey guys let's not let this guy dictate what happens in our forums. Everyone else I have talked too and agreed or disagreed has been very cordial. As I said in an earlier forum, I learn much more from those that disagree (respectfully) than I do from those that agree with everything I say. Why cant we have spirited conversations as in past generations without hate or personal attacks. I could be wrong but I'm usually not just ask my wife! Lol
Let's have some levity no matter what side we are on. We all drive the best cars on the planet after all.

Wow....Scott, you say i have missed the boat on multiple times. You need to look into the mirror. Im not agreeing or disagreeing with any of your political threads, im just saying everyone is sick of them.

You dont see anyone else complaining about anyone else on here except you! I really think you like the attention because it really does seem it is you vs everyone else on your political views....

Scott, I applaud your cogent and factually based input into the political banter... And believe the silent majority is fed up with all the extremism and aggression.
But, I just don't get why everyone wants to use our forum to argue politics and alienate and insult one another. I support the silent majority who are here to talk about our car hobby and not be reminded of all the anger and derision in our country every time they log onto the forum. So can't you all just carry on in Private Messages and remember what your mom told you about Religion and Politics - Keep it to yourself!

On that positive note, this thread is now closed.
