    Ok fellas, I'm beginning to realize that some of the new school HAMBers don't really understand where I am coming from on the political front and why we don't talk politics on the HAMB.

    First and foremost, I've never shared my complete political beliefs on the HAMB. I'm a private person and quite frankly I don't see how it's anyone's business... And that said, I'm quite certain that my beliefs would offend 99% of our members. So much so, in fact, that I think many would refuse to use the HAMB after hearing them.

    And there is a reason that I close political posts with offensive remarks - Early members figured out pretty quick not to post political posts in an effort to avoid putting up with my*********. Who wants to hear what some anarchist/commi gearhead has to say about politics? It's like one of those dumb**** movie stars making comments on the podium after getting an Oscar... TOTALLY IRRELEVANT!

    Why in the hell should we talk politics if it is just going to make us hate each other? I apologize to those that I have offended and promise to do better even when closing political posts. I sincerely don't want people leaving the board because of an irrelant opinion that I may or may not have. We both like chopped and channeled deuce roadsters, so lets talk about that instead...

    I'll close with the only rules the HAMB has:

    1. No political posts
    2. No religous posts
    3. No profanity in the subject lines
    4. Any hint of racism gets you banned for life

    That's it... and this is my drama post for the week. Let's get on to cars...

    Thanks,
     
  2. sounds good to me Ryan

    Nads -- Just continue to be the example of advocacy for your beliefs and interests you've been in the past.

    If I want to hear Pat Robertson debate Howard Dean, I'll go back to work(but for only 40 hrs/week). Its hard enough for us old-timey-traditional-hotrodder-beastiality-types to stay interested enough with the HAMB as it is, without having to stomach the soapbox derby. Lets stay focused kids, or we'll wake up Germ(TM).

    Mike, I was kidding.
    I would like to personally stomp******* members on their collective head.
    As adults it's all game, kinda, but when you touch a child you're dead meat.
    You don't get my irony at all do you?
    Do you have it in for me?
    That's the feeling I get.

    I've been on the HAMB for a while now. I couldn't begin to tell you all how much it means to me. I look forward to my "HAMB Time" every day.

    I felt compelled to speak my mind a little after reading Ryan's post. Those of you who know me know I'm not one for grandstanding, so here goes:

    Ryan is right. Who cares if you're gay? Who cares if you're not born in this country? Who cares if you're Black, White, Hispanic, Indian,*****stani, Martian, etc. Who cares who you date? Who cares who you're married to? Who cares what color your skin is? Who cares how many tattoos you have? Who cares if you have personal hang-ups that make you want to hate all of us?!

    The bottom line is that we have all come together, to share our love of these cars, and to share our knowledge, and to help one another out. Period. If that is not why you are here, then leave. We can't help you. I think Ryan would agree. (My apologies for hy-jacking this post, if that's what this is...)

    I'm not going to kiss Ryan's****, but as far as I'm concerned, if I can't give or get help on the HAMB...un-biased help that is...with what I am doing in my own garage or what my life experiences are, then I may as well pack it all up and git. Sell it all. Start cross-stitching or something. A new hobby.

    I don't live close to friends who can help me. I don't have sunny weather where swap meets occur 9 months out of the year. I don't live in a place where a rust-free 1959 El-Camino is $1200 bucks. What I have here is an overwhelming knowledge base of friends and supporters who have either "been there", "done that", or have a better idea about something I could not have fathomed. I work with what I got, which is what I think most of us here, do. That to me is the greatest benefit to the HAMB. It's a "mixed race" of people from all walks of life. Rich, Poor, Middle Class, you-name-it, it's here. And this is the reality of our little community here.

    The next time you call someone's ride "gay", or think his/her style is "ghetto", consider whom you may be talking to. Do you know them first hand? They just might posess the knowledge YOU need to keep your**** going down the road.

    You may think your typed words are without a face, or without a person, but think twice before making an**** of your own self. To those of you who have been here a while, my humble apologies. To the newbies who are here, take note. This isn't a place to vent your hormonal deficiencies and rip on people for their tastes. Ante up the cash & your talents, and let's see what YOU can create.

    I'm done now. [​IMG]
     
  28. Ryan, is there any way you could have a page that is a mandatory read for all new members?Like before you join, you understand that certain***** is off limits? I just feel bad that you have to waste your time coming on here and reminding the masses that this isn't a political debate, or a place to ask how to set the timing on a 93*******, etc.

    Nads -- Your response really cuts deep. I thought I did understand you but apparently not. I regarded what you said as dark ironic humor and thought that I was responding in kind.

    I'm fully aware of the depravity of "organizations" like******* and would in no way consider aligning you with them. Lighten up, fer chrissakes! Very sorry to have offended you. I promise no more contact in future. Get it? Good.
