Thanks for the courteous reply rrevved unlike the *** Matsen who is so ***ing smart he thinks he must correct everyones spelling. Paul

If I want a smart ass answer I'll address my next post to "All Interested ***s" but then again I got an answer from one anyway. If I in a hurry and to lazy to use spell check that is my business not yours so go play with your*** some more so you can critique other people who don't have anything else to do! Paul P.S. I used spell check this time just for you. ***.

Hey...you need to use a grammar check, too. It's "If I'M in a hurry and TOO lazy to use a spell check". Remember..it may be annoying to have your spelling corrected, but no more annoying than it is to read incorrect spelling if you know how to spell correctly.

Better to remain silent, and be thought an idiot, than to open your mouth and confirm it. So now you've proven that you can't spell, can't use proper grammar, AND have to resort to vulgarity to try to get your point across. Yes, we are really, really impressed.....NOT.

Who am I, I'm just your average 56 year old who retired 7 years ago and who has lived his entire life living by a code which includes not making fun of anyone or having fun at anyone's expense and trying not to be superior to those who were less fortunate than I. I don't***with other people and don't tolerate them screwing with me in real life so why should I treat anyone on the net any different or expect anymore or less of them. I enjoy my race and flight sims, read the appropriate news groups, post when I have a question or something worthwhile to contribute and occasionally disagree with someone's position. What I don't do is to try and be a smart ass by trying to make fun of others. Yes I do use profanity sometimes (and it is not justified) especially when someone calls me names such as "dork". And no I'm not trying to impress anyone-You Asked. Paul

You said it! And you just had to open your mouth. Paul

Gunny! Been wondering where you been hiding :-) Guess you traded flight for auto sims eh? :-) Traitor :-) Dave

Maybe what pqt2 has said below should be given some thought. Don't you think RASers? Cheers Thom_j.

I do not know Paul but don't you think it is time to stop the child'ish "slams" toward him? This is not productive & just wastes newsgroup space! General razzin' is just fine when tastefully done but it seems there is a bit of overkill now! Thom_j.

Good for you Paul, don't take any shit. There are 2 types of people, those who are achievers and try to bring others up to their level by being kind and generous and those who are failures and try to bring others down to their level by critcizing and demeaning. Cheers to you for not taking shit from people who measure their***s with their dictionaries (notice the clever alliteration self-absorbed "English Experts"). I won a ***ing Spelling Bee when I was 12. Oooooh, I'm so amazing I can spell! Alert the Nobel Society, I should win an award. Am I better than Paul? Why exactly are any of you? Oh, I don't hav a spel cheq and eye downt kare to re-reade this 5 tymes to maek shure I didn't tipe two fasst and misspell sumthing. Do you know why? Because my IQ doesn't decline when I spell a word wrong. And to the smart asses, your IQ doesn't go up when you point it out either. You're still stuck somewhere between retard and moron. Perhaps by trying to be thoughtful, decent and productive this will someday allow you to claw your way up to imbecile. PS- Hey Paul, remember the kid back in school with the pocket protector and black rimmed glasses who couldn't get laid in a *** house with a***full of $50's? He's now a brave "keyboard kowboy" who screws with anyone and everyone because he knows we can't reach through the internet and give him the solid ass kicking he deserves.

Sure, I'm real insecure. Hey, when I have a bad day I don't take ***of of anyone and a lot of the time I don't even need to use the "Bad Day" excuse.. Threatened, hell the last time I felt threatened someone was trying to eliminate my ass, sometimes I just have a bad habit of not taking ***of any kind. Anyway, bad manners from some cutie shouldn't be tolerated by anyone, anytime. Enough of this crap- OUT. Paul P.S. rrevved's sound pack is great, good job. > You got pissed because someone corrected your spelling. Well > gee whiz who gives a flying ***about that anyway? Are you so > insecure that you feel threatened by that? "and some ***s > thought they would have some fun at my expense".

I didn't get it either. The post he objected to, while not the friendliest, didn't insult him AT ALL, then he starts off on this cursing and *** organ bit and insulting everyone who replied to it. Making a mountain out of a molehill. Hey, I don't get into spelling nitpickers myself, BUT, I have much less tolerance for a lot of uncalled for insults. You start insulting people, I figure hey you're fair game. My original response to all this was just to point out that by acting this way, you make yourself look bad - not to start some flame war. Poke some fun, yep - that too. To take someone correcting your spelling that seriously begged for some ribbing. Now we have some other guy talking about how he'd kick people's asses if they weren't "hiding behind their keyboard" (exactly what he's doing) and going through the *** organ and cursing bit himself in this guy's defense. What's next, "My dad can beat your dad"? Hey folks, get over it. I can quickly read over what I write and make sure it makes sense and is mostly spelled correctly, it's called good communication. All we have to go on about who you are and where you're coming from is what we read here. Pretty easy to make a good impression. Bad writing, curse words, threats and general vulgarity tend to reflect bad upon you, and someone pointing this out to you is probably doing you a favor. If someone starts the "d00d you suck!!" stuff, ok flame away - but to start calling everyone an *** and talk about kicking people's ass over a spelling correction is asinine. You make a bad enough impression, you get in a lot of killfilters or people just don't listen to what you have to say, and a newsgroup where no one sees your posts isn't doing you nearly as much good as it could.

Let me try to be as thoughtful and offer my English lesson. "Swearing and cussing" is redundant, pick one and work with it. Do you say: "The water was wet and moist?" How about: "The movie was lengthy and also quite long!" So what the hell is "swearing and cussing?" Now, do you feel enlightened after I've added this basic element of proper English to your arsenal or do you think, "what an ***, this guy is obviously trying to ridicule me and actually thinks he's superior." Well, I know what I would think. I certainly wouldn't appreciate such hostile criticism from a stranger who needs to stroke his own ego on the net. I'm not saying this thread is your fault but don't dump this "Boy I can't even help my fellow man with a little English lesson" self-serving heap of shit on me. You took a shot at a guy because he was an easy target after making several spelling and grammatical errors in a few post. It's easy to jump on the band wagon and make fun of Paul. How about being a nice guy and tipping the damn band wagon over? Oh, by the way, I'm 3' 9" but I pack a mean nut cracker if you know what I mean ;-). Seriously Greg, this is not just you but is it so hard to treat people with respect on the net? Do you hear someone misspeak at the checkout of your local supermarket and try to make them feel like a jack ass? It just seems too many people are ready to pounce on the smallest mistake and ridicule someone for no reason. What's the point?

Since I think you misinterpreted my post I must respond. People should be treated with respect. This should be the default method of communicating with a stranger who has not done anything to initiate hostility. In the real world this what I witness regularly. On the internet this respect is, at times, woefully absent. One theory is that it's easy for ALL OF US to be brave from the safety of our keyboard. I don't hide behind my keyboard in the sense that I don't take pot shots at innocent people like a little weasel waiting for a chance to pounce. I take issue with what I view as unnecessary hostility and I must respond to it. By the way, if any of us met Paul at a party and he was 6' 6" 240 lb.. would we say "Hey ***boy, nice English sentence!" Assuming you were smaller, I'm sure your answer would be no. Unless, of course, you had a high powered rifle with you. Hey if you're 6' 8" 270 lb.. and live near me then you win, I'm wrong and sorry I wasted your time sir! ;-) Seriously, there are so many annoying internet heroes, fearless in their ***. While I am no testosterone tough guy I am also not a weasel who preys on strangers so I can feel superior by demonstrating my visual acuity and intellectual prowess through my amazing gift for noticing the ever so slight spelling error. I do notice the shitty spelling and poor communication skills on the net and in the world. I would certainly like to improve this mess, however, I will do so constructively not destructively. I just don't like to arrogantly ridicule anyone. I was fortunate enough to have a quality education (I also paid mucho dinero for it so I'm not on the soap box feeling guilty). However, I never pick on the easy target. I'd rather joust with a juggernaut than pummel a putz (I really overuse alliteration, what a schmuck!). I find pointing out spelling errors inherently pompous. This is my perception. I fail to see any helpful intent. It seems more like: "Excuse me, dumb ass, could you please learn how to spell." I believe confident and mature men do not need to pointlessly prey on innocent posters to prove their virility. Please understand, however, that my ass kicking comment was intended to be general (i.e., A weasel can sure use that friendly reminder that an ass kicking hurts). It was written more for effect than my actual belief. I certainly was not directly threatening anyone, if my post appeared that way I apologize. As for cursing, it's always the same bullshit comment (more so by others than you), "Doh! If you curse you lose because only losers curse!" (should be read using Homer Simpson's voice). Yeah, I get it, you make up the rules and I lose if I break them, that makes sense. Finally, I admit I'm not that tough. The last fight I had I suffered a broken nose, a dislocated shoulder and I lost 2 teeth. Hey, my wife can get a little *** when I don't take out the trash. BTW, I think you agree, isn't a little friendly "attempt" at humor better than wise ass remarks?

Hi all, I Dld the above soundpack and indeed the sounds are nice, but in a way that is worse ! ;-) The problem I have is I am unable to hear my own engine when there a re cars around, which makes shifting a pain. Rreved sounds are louder so that is even more confusing. Yet I like them. What am I to do ? Is there a way to "quiet" other cars or make you car louder ? Anybody ? Greg.
