go ahead, lock my thread....

Ok, this is for that dvs guy.....

here's what you wrote....I would like to ask you one thing before I continue, do you have any clue as to how hard it is to find a well paying job while maintaining a household? If not, keep your sarcasm to yourself.

Yes...i do know whats it like and i do maintain a household...In your thread you wrote how this would probably change peoples outlook on you....so when i offer up my opinion...you cant listen to it and lock the thread. what the hell is that? you are asking for comments and you totally blow them off. Ive always had the same outlook on you, that thread about the white man opressing didnt change it a bit. If you feel you are overlooked because you arent white then just like i said find a new job. Blaming your lack of a good job on a race is pathetic. I have, pardon any racism, mexican bosses and i dont feel oppressed....i may not get the job i wanted because the boss picked jose...i let it slide and move on. I've told myself numerous times, hey this job treats me like shit, so i pack my things and leave it. you cant go thru life blaming stupid shit on a race man...so you got shit on at work, do something about it other than complain about the white man....I'm happy that you celebrated another man's termination, the shit he dumped on you is catching up to him and his poor family now....serves him right doesnt it? So go ahead smoke your weed and then come here and throw your authority around and lock my thread......

I have nothing against you and don't know the whole story,but I think you could have Pm'd him or e-mail'ed him to tell that instead of doing it in front of all.
just my .02$

sorry man...he wanted critism....he got it, couldnt handle it and locked the thread...i would have keep it there but, i guess thats whats cool about being a mod.

I am not taking sides here, but perhaps the thread was locked before it turned into a flame war. To me personally, your remark did come off a bit on the sharp side...but that's just my perception of it. I don't know anything of DVS's situation other than what he stated in his post, but it's not that easy to just "go get another job" especially during these hectic times. When threads turn into mud-slinging wars, it ruins the fun. That is my $0.02 for the day.

with you Kat.Deftone - the man is a mod. that means that he probably spends a good deal of his time fixing shit that you wouldn't even think of.To do this he needs to be able to lock threads occasionally.For his trouble he gets nothing,except abuse from the idiots that try to spoil AF for the rest of us.I'm not putting you in that category,so please keep reading.One of the few priviledges a mod has is the capability to close his/her own threads.On the rare occasion that a mod exercises this option,we should just accept it.Without the time and effort put in by the mods,this site would rapidly become an unreadable shambles.

my $00.02(plus g.s.t.)

Okay now, since we feel threatened because I closed a thread, let's clear some things up now, shall we. First off, running your mouth in here without having all the facts is only going to bring you problems. Not because I'm a mod, but because you're speaking without knowing the whole situation.

Second, I closed the thread because the purpose behind it was already achieved! To what point should I have left it open. So Postwhores can whore it up? NO! If you don't like it, that is too fuckin bad.

Thirdly, I will address this within your cute little response. Since you know so little about me, but are able to tell me exactly what my problem is, let me correct some of your ideas.

First off, the outlook I was referring to, which only the people that I deal with directly would know that, is how mean I can be. Therefore, since I seldom, rather ever have a conversation with you, I did not care for YOUR opinion. Now, could you have asked me what the whole story was, sure you could of. Did you? No, you didn't. So your response, while sharp, only got the response it deserved. Get over it! :mad:


Ive always had the same outlook on you, that thread about the white man opressing didnt change it a bit. If you feel you are overlooked because you arent white then just like i said find a new job. Blaming your lack of a good job on a race is pathetic.

What I said was and you failed to understand miserably, AT MY JOB, SHIT IS DIFFERENT THAN HOW IT SHOULD BE. Now I will say it with greater detail. I said that Corporate America nowadays is tougher than it used to be. Second, I am not complaining here about oppression or using it as an excuse to get sympathy, from you or anyone else on here!:mad: My rant which I wrote was something more of a personal battle that I've had with a few individuals at MY JOB and nothing more. I am a well educated person with a degree in AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING and COMPUTER SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT. What that means is that I can get any fuckin job I want, when I want.:mad:


I have, pardon any racism, mexican bosses and i dont feel oppressed....i may not get the job i wanted because the boss picked jose...i let it slide and move on.

I don't know whether you're aware of this or not, but I've had a few jobs, believe me, I know how not to take shit from people. I don't just sit and complain how unhappy I am with my job and how bad things get. Like I've previously stated, that thread was more of a "I finally got mine" thread and it served it's purpose.


I'm happy that you celebrated another man's termination, the shit he dumped on you is catching up to him and his poor family now....serves him right doesnt it? So go ahead smoke your weed and then come here and throw your authority around and lock my thread......



To end, you may not like or appreciate my response, but to be honest, since you've dedicated a thread specifically to me, I'm flattered. I make decisions based on what I see fit. And as like someone previously stated, if you had a problem with my response or closing, you could have been grown enough to PM me with your issues. Since you didn't take the time to do that, I've responded to you here. Now, don't take this the wrong way, but next time, you should ask a person what the whole story is before you go passing judgements on anyone, it just makes you look dumb, offering your opinion and not having all the facts. Plus, I wasn't asking for opinions to begin with.:rolleyes: Lastly, if I choose to close a thread, it's not because I want to show off my powers as a mod or because I feel like it. I closed it because it served its purpose, period. If you wanted to respond to my comment, again, you should have PM'ed me. So thank you for the honorable mention and wasting my time having to respond.:rolleyes:

I'll await your response.

Thank you to the following people for helping save his ass from himself:

At least you understand what was being displayed and took the time to explain to Def what has taken place.:D

Thank you very much.:)

usually the internet is clogged with idiots that can't put a rational thought together, much less a whole very well spoken argument.

Personally, I just don't like people who come to conclusions without first finding the situation. It's not like I'm trying to gather support or anything. I just ranted. Go figure!:D

ok dvs, i read thru this post as well as your first thread about this. So first off I will apologize for this whole thing...maybe I should have PMed you, I'm not here all the time so I dont know what alot of that shit is so I dont bother with it. The post-whore comment i will not take at all towards me....just look at how many posts ive had since aug...Next I may not know you personally, but from things that i've read lead you to be, no offense, kind of a prick....but hey everyone can be. What I read in your thread about this you come off as complaining about racism...wether or not you were oh well. But I still will stick to what I said about finding a new job....man, if it sucks that bad then find a new one...as it looks you are well qualified. Or who knows maybe now that the other people are gone here's your chance.


I may not agree with some of the things you had said or your agruments, and sure I dont know the whole story, but I will stick to some of my feelings about it. I just wont mess with arguing about it.

So, dvs, once again I apologize.....i'm willing to drop all of this shit and forget about it if you are. Like I said I dont know you well man, maybe never will but I will keep a more open mind about you and what you say.

Sorry dude. This thread has now served its purpose...so dvs will you do the honors of closing it?

i'm not siding with anyone, but have a comment/question. DVS said he closed a thread because he didn't want the PW's to get to it. then what's the point of this thread: http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t18929.html ???

DVS closed a thread that had served a much better purpose over in the Lamborghini forum. that thread only had about 30 pages, this one has 101 friggin pages.
