At first, I thought he was serious....a serious idiot and then the pipe wrench came out! Doh
I think we can all agree that social media and the faceless anonymity of the Internet has caused this society to "accept" the bad behavior of verbal abuse via text as just that: acceptable and a social norm.
Few of us are old enough to remember when "sucks" meant oral sex and was a potty-mouth word with that connotation. Now we've "dumbed it down" to mean a bad or unfortunate situation and its part of the everyday lexicon. Young people today use this word all the time and do not think it is offensive in any way.
That is also true of ALOT of other words or phrases that have become acronyms. When a pop music group can call themselves LMFAO and we KNOW what it means, but accept that as normal and OK, it tells me how insular to being offensive we a society we've become.
That said, I would like to commend the moderators of this forum who attempt to keep the posts and responses civil, non-offensive, politically correct, and true to the goal of providing fair and honest treatment of and to the membership of the vehicle detailing community. it is a thankless job that cannot be stressed enough that without them, this forum simply would and could not exist, nor would it have the reputation as the best forum for detailing it has righty earned (and kept) within the detailing community.
I must admit, I "enjoy", to some degree, reading the verbal jabs and interactions that read like a daytime soap-novel. The "he-said-you-said" back-and-forth jibberish becomes just that: jibberish.

Lonnie- Glad to see I'm not the only person who thinks that "sucks" gets used a bit too indiscriminately.
I still recall getting in serious trouble in Jr. High for using the word "wimp".
Oddly perhaps, I take very little issue with, uhm...blue language...IRL as long as it's not over-used to the point of "gee, really limited vocabulary you have there, pal". I know highly esteemed English Language experts who drop the F-bomb, just not in every sentence.
