I guess I missed all the excitement. All but two people so far has been great even when we disagree. This has probably been the best forum I've been on over the years. You can just block the bad actors.

Now listen here, you simple-minded bastids. The Maverick sucks. If you're that damn brainless, do the world a favor and take your friends to some other thread!

I’m still amazed that Squatch found an Eruption green cane. It’s probably only available for one year.
I think “that” guy hijacked Tom Tucker!

Converse All Stars became hugely poplar again in the mid 1980's and there were endless clones. It's hard to explain how popular they were for about 2 years, and just about every store had a knock off. Even K-Mart had their knock off version, I would know because that's all my parents would get for me. Of course everyone in school knew had the cheap knock offs and made fun of me so I stopped wearing them.
Having said all of that, I'm still surprised to see that even NB had their own version. I learned something new today almost 40 years later.
I had a pair of Red Con high tops in the early 80s when I was at the Berklee College of Music in Boston. There was a local music group called Composers in Red Sneakers, and there was free admission to their concerts if you showed up in red sneakers. I have very wide feet, so the Cons never fit well, but I would grin and bear it as free ANYTHING was great for us starving music students!

I’m thankful I’m smart enough to NOT get sucked in to a trolls drama.
But I will admit I’m not smart enough to resist the urge to aggravate trolls, making things worse.

It's the exact same band logo.

I only know because when the banned guy started being vocal, I was curious what his avatar was and looked it up.

I had never heard of the band, but their music sounded exactly like I thought it would. 🤷‍♂️

It reminds me of that Ron White bit: "I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability."
OR
the Mike Biribiglia bit: "What I should have said was nothing."

My member block list is probably at about 100+ by now (mostly due to the captains of industry and their Maverick Flippin' posts from the 2022-2023 era). Likewise, I'd imagine more than a few people have tuned me out as well. Regarding the impetus for this thread, I have that guy ignored, so I never even saw his infamous '25 XL Review' posts until I read through this one.. It got out of hand.

I'm definitely a proponent of 'kindler / gentler' exchanges on the innerwebs, but I enjoy the occasional harmless ribbing or throwing in a "Well Hell-Fire!" or "Well that'll make it go faster" as a response. I do have to fight the urge to respond to mean posts, blantanly arrogant posts, or folks who've obviously made no attempt to use the search function at all (e.g. the poster child: 'what's the biggest tire I can put on without a lift?'); constraint can be good even if I'm forcing myself. Presently, I'm having trouble appreciating bull bars on the Mavericks' Ford Escape derived platform without responding in a snarky fashion... So, it's a struggle... In fact, I think I might have just failed on the bull bar front... Well, we have to have a little fun. :)

Without the benefit of body language or facial expressions, it can all go misunderstood no matter how playful or well-intended it was. There can be a fine line between attacking ideas vs attacking people. Care is needed and an occasional geniune apology is helpful.
