Somebody probably saw a fight coming on and didn't want to fill the board up with useless arguing like this... so they did a temp ban to stop the idiocy, and just haven't been back online since to undo what was done.
I believe locking the thread would have been more effective... but with any luck, your old screen name, and your friends screen name will be un-banned.
Rice truely is in the eye of the beholder... and you can either look at that as a negative.. or embrace it, and try to be the best at what you know you love.
For instance, the person who said he's a JDM freak... if that's his thing, and he does it to the best of his ability, then he's the kind of guy I like.
Whatever you like... go with it... don't listen to anyone else... The End.
P.S.
That's why I have a type-r style wing, a mid wing, and mud flaps... cause that's what I like, and I went with it... and nobody can change my mind about what I think is cool and what I don't.
