My comment wasn't about how you handled the traffic situation. It was how you responded to other members of the board. IMO it was rude, though in some cases maybe justified (minus the mom smack talk). <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Alright, lets qualify the mom smack talk; rude for rude: AUTOGUY <Quote> I think you proved you were as much as or even more of an **** than the other driver was!! My response: I see we got a few "self righteous" on here. Must be tough wearing that halo all the time! <Note no name calling used> AUTOGUY <Quote> Add in the boat....and well....you told it well enough that we all get a picture of what type of person you are. AUTOGUY <Quote> Sounds to me like you fit right in there..... **So personal!!!!** Me dishing back a little of what is being given: Just doin' my part to run the pricks, much like yourself, out of town! **Now we're name callin'"** Further instigation by AUTOGUY <Quote> Just don't start chasing them when your towin' your house out of town.... My rebuttal (only playing on AUTOGUYs innuendo of a trailer park scenario): Your sister/mother liked that one. PS: She said she needs her false teeth back when you're done using 'em!

Wow! Sell your truck and buy a Lightning, cuz you don't belong on this forum. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Look, I posted about a "traffic" incident which happened between me and another driver. The topic is not far removed from what others have posted in this section. If you don't like what I have to say, then there is an X in the upper right hand corner of the screen. Click it and the problem is solved. If the guy had been remourseful about his mistake, then the incident would not have been inflated into such a big deal. I blew my horn as a warning to avoid metal to metal contact. The middle finger was his mistake, not mine. Who in here would not have went into a rage after nearly being sideswiped and then given a gesture with the middle finger? I have been on the defensive from a select few since the original post, and to put it frankly, I don't care if this small "We Speak For The World" group agrees with me. I know I'm not totally in the minority, judging by the "other" responses that I have received.

<quote>"People have made mistakes. Is that worth runnin' 'em off the road?"<quote> jasonm: When "you" make a mistake and follow it up with a middle finger, then "you" are not accepting responsibility for your mistake. You will incurr the wrath. <quote>"When you grow up, someday, and maybe even have a couple of kids, you start to realize it doesn't make sense to take a chance and throw all of that away."<quote> Uh oh, Bad news! Got a kid; 37 years old, still don't feel no different about it. Blow me!

Yep, same from me too. What brand are the inserts?

Your sister/mother liked that one. PS: She said she needs her false teeth back when you're done using 'em!

Just doin' my part to run the pricks, much like yourself, out of town!

I'm thinking that some people don't understand how prevailent the disease "cranial rectitus" runs rampant in a BIG "metroplex" area. After you try to coexist with these yo-yos for an extended amount of time, (in my case, for 17 years) you lose your perspective and ability for just letting the "little" things go. Alot of city people are rude in comparison to country folks. When you go out to the country areas, you will almost always have a courteous wave or a nod from passersby when you meet opposing traffic. Country people will even yield the right-of-way to faster traffic and pull to the side of the highway to allow the faster traffic to continue on, unimpeded. You will rarely, if ever, see this in a big city atmosphere. What you will get alot of, is soccer moms and corporate big wigs in their SUV's and flagship BMW's and Benz's with the cel phone surgically attached to their ear, all the while forgetting the basics of courteous driving. If you happen to fall into one of these sub-categories, then we are at a stonewall. We will never be on the same side of the fence. And that's alright by me. Just don't take offense when I dish back a little of what you're serving.

Lets just agree to disagree when it comes to this matter. If you're a bonehead and think that you have special entitlement when you're cruising on "your" highway or that because someone is towing a trailer, you think that you can "show your ass" the way that this guy did, and the other person is at your mercy. You'll think twice. Cause there's potentially a crazier motherf!@#$% than you in the next vehicle. I know this guy, in his head, was thinking, "I can treat this guy however I want and he can't do anything about it cause he's got that big heavy trailer slowing him down and I can get away". WRONG ANSWER!

I see we got a few "self righteous" on here. Must be tough wearing that halo all the time! Like I said in my original post, "We are on the outskirts of town and the traffic opens up." And my response to "And as far as discussing it in a mature way, I'm pretty sure you would not have been able to do that based upon your decisions you made during your "chase"." You'll notice the quotations around the word "mature" in my original post. That was a sarcastic way of saying I was gonna ring his chicken neck if he would only pull over. Save the preachin' for Sunday morning and !

So, I'm heading to the lake with my bass boat yesterday for a nice relaxing day of fishing. Just me, myself and I. I'm cruising along in the slow lane when these three cars blast up the entrance ramp onto the interstate. No biggie, two of them accelerate past and enter the highway. Well, the third decides as he runs out of ramp and his rear tire is even with my front tire that I got brakes and I can damn well use them and proceeds to cut me off. I slam on the brakes and lay on the horn at which point he flips me the bird back over his shoulder. Big mistake! He's driving a Furd Explorer. I tail him for awhile keeping my bumper right in his ass at which point he flips me again. He whips around a couple of other cars and gets away from me as I can't dart in and out of traffic with the boat. We are on the outskirts of town and the traffic opens up. Floorboard ..and away we go. I chase him down. He's in the fast lane and I catch up to him doing 90 with the boat in tow and pull alongside him. He decides to flip it to me again and tries to accelerate. 345 horses can do wonders, even with a load to overcome and he ain't gettin' away. I invite him to pull over so we can discuss this in a "mature" manner at which time he flips it to me again. So, I accelerate past him until my trailer wheel is even with his front tire and do an emergency left hand lane change. He goes careening off into the median. At this point I call it even since he won't pass me no matter how much I slow down. ****!
