Hanging Up The #11s For A Long While

[Darrell Gwinn]

luis, youre just gettin hated on all over the place! people cant take a joke, theyre the ones that gave their sympathy voluntarily, i dont recall you ever saying hey feel sorry for me! lol I think if you seriously did want to take a break or get out of the hobby, more power to ya, after all it is JUST a hobby and I can say that and still love building just as much as the next guy.

[Darrell Gwinn]

Just to clarify; nobody is "hating", (geeze that is such annoyingly juvenile slang, & it's past time for it to be retired, like "groovy" from my generation ), Luis or anyone else here. All that I said is that he violated my, (& a lot of other people's), trust in manipulating us & in playing on our sympathies, not in getting sympathy, all for a chidish prank. Such actions lessen our trust in him, lessens him in our eyes, & can ultimately make us less likely to offer help or advice in the future, for worry of being played again.

Dirk, a word of advice here. Please stop trying to sound "gangsta" in your posts. I live in Iowa as well, & after nearly 3 years of living here, I have yet to meet any young man in Iowa that could last 5 minutes in some of the places I used to hang out in Charlotte NC. Iowa farm boys aren't "gangsta", never could be "gangsta", & really wouldn't know "gangsta" if it jumped up & bit them on the butt. You're just making yourself look silly & foolish in trying to appear "tough" in using such slang.

Yep, Im trying to sound gangster. just by saying hes gettin hated on... thats "slang?" plus living in Iowa doesnt automaticly make me a "farm boy" either. See, when I first joined this forum it was great cause I saw everybody and their positive comments and thought everyone was genuinely nice and promoted being different. but then i see the issues with the donks and now what people call slang. umm so if I were just like you then everything would be ok?! Seriously most of you may be older and think you know a lot more, but step back and look what youre doing.... you make it sound like Ive been repeatedly posting these tough gangster comments, but in reality i posted this one comment that had the word "hated" in it. then thats where your over exaggurated assumptions come in. everyday im seeing more and more put downs on this forum about little things and its really sad and pathetic.

BLAH BLAH BLAH!!!!!! Just a silly April Fool's prank, badly timed I might add. Its no worse than the ones we played on our friends when we were kids

[Darrell Gwinn]

Ok so there were 2 posts with something about haters, so how does that make me a wanna be gangster? its not like i said it like playa haters or something like that, i used it as what it is, and in this situation haters are people that dont like donks or the ones that arent happy with the joke. would the term Lovers be slang to? and Im not trying to be some one else by using words, i dont think any one group of people owns certain words. its not like in a conversation i try to think up cool gangster words to add in there, they are just the words that come out. i talk like i type for the most part and you dont see me goin hey yo homie wats up in hizzle fo sheezy my nukka.... yea, i mean me and my friends sometimes do that but its just to get a laugh cause look how stupid it is. lol and it is pretty well imposible to be an true individual since your always gonna do things that others do as well, like words, the whole world is connected now through internet, cell phones, and everything else so how can you not pick up different words from other people. its kind of like going to somebody in school thats learning french and saying your not french so you shouldnt talk like them. I mean I know exactly what your talking about with some people in iowa that are the wanna be gangters cause a few of my friends are that way and I can totally tell, you know why? because im not like them, i can see that they are tryin to be that way cause they over do it, but since im not one to judge, theyre still my friends and of course ill prolly pick up some of what their saying just because im around them and theyre only words. this is nothing against you or anybody but i really hate it when people assume things about me when they dont even know me and are so quick to judge just by a few little things. Another example, those friends i was talking about, well most of them do drugs, and i know what all they do BUT I dont do it, never even tried them once, Ive never even smoked a cigarette in my life as far as that goes, but im sure there are plenty of people out there who think i do just because im friends with them, but i guess it would be like a kick in the ass if they knew they were WRONG! lol So today I have given this some thought and this isnt a joke, Im seriously taking a break from this hobby since this forum got me back into it and just as quickly gotten me back out of it. I guess i was to quick to judge this forum since what i saw was a nice place where everyone just got along and was all about the hobby and wouldnt get concerned about petty little things. I learned right off the bat that judging things was not good when i had that issue with evilone about impala lowriders, but i soon realized that that was stupid and i should keep an open mind. I think that should apply in all situations, models, speech, and everything else, who are any of us to judge?! Only God can judge me and what ever you think you should just keep to yourself. I look up to you older guys because you make the hobby what it is and are some excellent builders, but i guess there i go again trying to be like someone else and wanting to build models as good as you all. Im not trying to make an arguement here or anything, these are my genuine feelings and what has went down with the donk thing and the gangsta talk thing, although it may not be much it got to me and hurt my feelings enough to get me to really take a break, put all the parts, pieces, kits, paints, and everything else back in their boxes and stash them all away again. I do build for myself but i still do build for all of you too, honestly if you just built for yourself how gratifying would that be? only you could see it and know what work you put into a project. you all know you want others to check out what all you have done and compliment and take notice of the time and hard work you put into it and tell them how others models gave you some inspiration and help to build your own. if you just built for yourself you wouldnt be on this forum posting pics, you wouldnt be going to show and entering your cars.... if im wrong then you are all crazy and shouldnt be building. well thats all for now...

This kind of online behaviour always amazes me. It's all just downright silly. Why do message threads so often generate into this kind of garbage? Why do people take something so personal from people they only "know" via typed words on a computer screen? I got news for you, unless you've met a person in person you don't know them personally so why get so bent out of shape about anything anybody types in a message forum!

Geez, let's get real here.

ok for the first thing low i told u to tell me what was wrong and i would fix it asap

YOU NEVER DID THATS ON YOU HOMIE

and second everyone back up off dirk he didnt do anything

if ur going to talk all this B.S over how someone talks then get up off here

this is AMERICA ppl have freedoms to do what they want,when they want to,and how they want

it doesnt matter what color or where they live at

i live in cali i grew up listening to ppl say "what up homie" or "hay vato whats crackin"

that doesnt matter to me if my buddy dirk says "whats crackin homie" or anything like that

so back up off this homie and leave good enough alone

DUE TO YOUR GUYS STUPIDITY DIRK IS THINKING OF LEAVING

NOW ASK YOURSELVES WAS IT WORTH IT???????????????????????????

[Darrell Gwinn]

yea im definately giving it a break, i need to get all of this stuff out of my room any way, it takes up to much space.. this has really got me thinkin whether or not to keep all my model stuff or not. to some this may think this is just an immature reaction but it really got me thinkin just about people in general and I really dont want to hang around somewhere where some are just out to nit pick. See and those who think Im being "juevenile" (that seems to be a popular word round here) well thanks for judging me too! really makes us younger generations want to stick to the hobby.

[Pokey]

I've noticed something kind of ironic here. Before it was revealed that this was a harmless April Fool's joke, a few people suggested that Lownslow was being "thin-skinned". Now, we have people getting all upset because they fell for the joke.

It didn't seem to me that Lownslow was asking for anyones sympathy. Maybe those of you that are upset because he got one over on you are the ones that need to grow a "thicker skin".

Hmmmm, let me get this straight. Someone who uses the word "hated on" is trying to sound "gangsta"?

yikes, Ive said haters a few times in the last week. Im the most Gansgter 21yr old white male Prarie boy workin 2 full time jobs and buiding 1:1 lowriders in my only free time.

I find lots of things on Model message boards very controdictive, most of the older members are always talking about keeping the young guys in the game(hobby, just my gangster slang) then when something they dont like comes along, they get all upity and start running off at the Keys. As previously said, if you dont like it, dont look, keep your mouth shut.

Im a member of another Model Forum, we have Mexicans(sorry for generalizing, or offending) Americans, Canadians, whites,African Americans, Swiss, australians, and everyone gets along just fine, everyone brings to the table what they know, and in times when they are in a bind, they ask for help. Heck there are even a few older members in the 50+ age range, who build lowriders, donks , etc. etc.

I think everyone needs to lighten up and see that everyone has their own style of building/living, etc. and we need to respect that, lets not look at the type of build, or the style. lets look at the hard work, effort, and thought/creativity that was put into the build, and look at it for what it is, not for what we believe it should be.

thx,

Mike

I just think its dumb that people would get so irrate over an april fools joke... i mean isnt the whole point to get the people to believe what youre saying to fool them?! and since it worked really well they get aggravated.. i think its those people that need to grow up and stop being immature. take a joke and stop being uptight. but what would I know, im just a juvenile.

[CaseyG83]

I think this whole thing should have come to an end a long time ago. every one should just move on and get back to what this forum is about building models and helping your peers. I just think the whole thing is in bad taste, the joke, timing, and the ###### followed. I meen come guys would you act like this in your LHS or a model show. no you wouldn't and I see this board as being the same thing, a place that belongs to someone else that you are a guest in. Now drop all of this nonsense and build some models. Donks, hot-rat-old school rod, muscle cars, low riders whatever you like. I think it would be really sad to have to see this thread get locked so lets just drop it.

[monkeyclaw]

WoW!!! Is there a moderator in the house? This thread seems to be never ending...MODEL CARS guys.....Model cars...that's all it is...build what you build; post what you post....enough of the "bloods" and "crips" already. If you don't like DONKS....DON"T read the threads...pretty simple! As a modeler, I build a varirety of subjects; not just one thing...as a car guy; I like several different segments of the hobby, not just one type of car. The thought occurs to me that with all the time and effort that has been wasted on this thread; You guys could have been getting some serious building time in....does ANYONE still do that? Again; is there a moderator in the house? Matt

...Dirk thinking of leaving... Oh, NO!!!!!!! Here we go again.......

[novadose71]

I'll post this here since it seemed to kick off from here.

I know, I know, don't read the post if you don't like it, we still have to see ALL the titles. I come here to unwind and look at models for Christ's sake. All you friggin' babies are ruining it with your oversensitivity and put downs. Here's an idea, when you guy's are done crying and wining and bitchin', build something cool(donk,lowrider,4x4,doesn't matter if it kicks a$$), post pics, use decent English, and relax, it's just a hobby. And if you can't handle a little criticism without blowing it out of proportion and you feel you must leave.......DON"T LET THE DOOR HIT YA WHERE THE GOOD LORD SPLIT YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........which proves all the "immature"comments true........................ Thanks for souring my morning...............ya big bunch of whiny babies BYE

[Darrell Gwinn]

joke after joke we keep fooling the foolish. read my Im Leaving thread now, my last comment...

You are so cool!

Here's what really happened.

You were serious about leaving. You then realized how silly your reason was for leaving, so you concocted this whole "April Fool's Part II" thing to save face (by the way, it is now the 7th, April fool's Day was last week).

You can say I'm wrong all you want, but, you know I'm right.

Just admit that you overreacted, noone will think less of you.

ONE BIG PISSING MATCH.

ONE BIG PISSING MATCH.

Correction...it's completely unmatched. I haven't seen this much useless slop slung since the HHMB days.

I haven't seen this much useless slop slung since the HHMB days.

go to the SA site. This a normal daily thing. Or at least it was the last time I was there. That is why I left.
