scooter Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 This thread is soo fucked. You guys should all just stop being little pukes and meet up and fight it out. Then you all will be friends again. So sad. And yes the canadian dollar has taken a shit, thanks trudumb. 1 Link to comment
paradime Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hard as any of us may try here, there is no way to gain respect or salvage dignity by fighting each other for it. Chinese lexicon "losing face" (丟臉, 沒面子) holds a poignant reminder that losing face has great implications for a person's sense of self dignity, because it calls into question their decency and societal adequacy. Wake up folks, there is no face to be gained here. The only way to salvage your self respect and Ratsun's reputation is to wake up and recognize how childish this looks. Drop your bitch weapons, agree to disagree, and call truce already. Or are you going to continue this tantrum because your feewing are hurt? Link to comment
racerx Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 In the spirit of the Ratsun community, people need to let this thing go. I know I've been there before and it's not worth stewing on this. One side trying to upstage the other side, then things can get so nasty and repulsive that the potential of people hurting each other, not just on this forum, but physically can happen. I been on other forums before for classic mustangs and Toyotas and guess what I don't participate in them anymore because what happened there is happening now in this forum. Like in all car and hobby forums, people get together to help one another, provide technical expertise, sell, trade, share pictures, talk about our dreams and frustrations, in other words a "Community" so let these be our guiding principles. 5 Link to comment
Draker Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 This is nothing more than the annual winter internet scuffle. By the time the sun is shining and the second weekend of June rolls around everyone will be back to touching butts. 5 Link to comment
tr8er Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 What if we came together and built a car? A community build. Sell it at Canby to the highest bidder and put proceeds toward next years camping price hike. Or maybe a raffle? I don't know, just brainstorming a way to bring people together. 6 Link to comment
racerx Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Also don't we have some form of ground rules so that things don't escalate and/or some form of mission statement which drives the direction of where we want to go. I'm fairly sure the original intent of this site, when it was formed, was to help each other out and to keep our Datsuns alive and on the road. 1 Link to comment
q-tip Posted January 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 There are rules....But they're more like guidelines apparently. 1 Link to comment
KoHeartsGPA Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 Steve's Canby thread shouldn't have been locked, that's disrespectful to DNW, what needs to happen there is clean out the garbage and re-open it......where are the other moderators here???? 2 Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted January 12, 2017 Report Share Posted January 12, 2017 ...where are the other moderators here???? ^^^^^^this is an excellent point. I cant remember the last time I saw a mod other than DM call someone out on here. I've got no beef with Mike, but, I think its time he gave himself a rest from modding duties. 1 Link to comment

]2eDeYe Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Mike has bowed out of Moderator position. I'm probably the only mod...online...most of the time. This thread is a nice little spot for all this shit :) See everybody at Canby in June :thumbup: 1 Link to comment
Rick-rat Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I hope that mike will continue in here with his knowledge and help with Datsuns :thumbup: 1 Link to comment

KoHeartsGPA Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I hope your all happy now.... I hope that mike will continue in here with his knowledge and help with Datsuns :angel: No happy about it, he did bring it upon himself as he's stubborn about winning every argument, sad and ironic part is he lost to himself, we all adviced him on where the question had to be asked, he ignored it and kept beating on the dead horse. :no: 1 Link to comment

wayno Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I asked you guys to stop over there, I asked you to stop posting/baiting him, I asked you if this was worth changing someones life, well you changed someones life, and over what? If you had stopped posting a every time he posted he would have calmed down and stopped posting also, I hope everyone involved is proud of this, I know that I was involved early on, but I stopped, and I also deleted my updates a few days ago also, this is a sad day. :( 5 Link to comment
tdaaj Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 I'm not proud of this, but i think its a much needed break for mike. It'll give him so.e time to step back and look at things from a different perspective. I doupt this will be permanent. 1 Link to comment

q-tip Posted January 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 What is done is done, not the outcome that all fore saw or expected my hopes are that the community can move forward and this can end up and a joke like many things on Ratsun. 3 Link to comment
HOGIE Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Like this... What if we came together and built a car? A community build.

Rjawm Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Probably for the best. Pretty sure I could hear that brain aneurysm brewing from here. Be a loss for all that Datsun knowledge to just POOF vanish. 2 Link to comment
Ratwagon1600 Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Be a loss for all that Google Datsun knowledge to just POOF vanish. FIFY. Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Noobs are actually going to have to search now. Mike...You are being missed. Love you, man. 1 Link to comment
tdaaj Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 What I don't get is if he is stepped down from being a mod, why does his title still say user administrator? Is he just pretending to step down? Does tbat really count? A bluff maybe? 1 Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Doesn't matter. Let's just do our part to keep Ratsun safe until Mike returns. I think we should do what we can to help Steve keep it clean around here in the mean time. This is our forum. Wipe your feet at the door. 3 Link to comment
