I'm aware that it was changed, it was the original thread subject including "OFFICIAL" that I was referring to.

My original statement stands, you're trying to find a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, and if you're interested in that, have fun. What you don't take into consideration, is that this is an internet forum for discussion where people express their opinions, mine and others included, if you don't like that other people are exercising this right and disagreeing with you, then maybe the internet isn't for you.

Dude you rock :gu n: : :

Personally I think your original point warranted discussion but you dilute your credibility when you make inaccurate statements and don't correct or defend them when challenged.

I guess the original thread title was changed as it had the word 'OFFICIAL' in it which could have been misleading.

The word "official" in forums like these, generally conveys that it's the forum's official thread where the subject should be discussed and confined to, which then allows a large database of information to build up over time.

That was the intent. To be clear, I do not claim to have ownership over this thread. For the record, I'm going to take my name off of the subject line, to resolve the issue, however.

Why you yelling bro?

So, let's make a few things clear:

1. Yes, your thread's title was changed because, well... it's not "official."

2. Yes, you're trying to offer a solution to a problem that does not exist. (This is indeed a fact.) We appreciate, encourage, and support debate; unfounded diatribes, however, will always receive responses like you've seen in this thread. We do not even object to your rant nearly as much as we do to your overly-defensive reaction of others' disagreement or opinions. Let's face it, this is YOUR opinion; it's not backed by facts.

3. This thread is not what I would call "relevant issue," unless this were a Toyota forum. (And, yes, I'm a mod. And I'm meddling.)

4. No need to yell. No need to get so defensive. As Thunder mentioned, if you cannot handle others' rebuttals, maybe the internet is not for you.

5. We do not censor, unless personal attacks are involved (or when other obvious lines are crossed -- pornography, for example). We do ask, however, that we maintain a civil posture -- something that is quickly fading in this thread.
