Well, I really don't care if I get banned for life or what. I going to let everyone where we are at.

There comes a time where belonging to a up and coming community is fun. No one knows the car the first time around, everyone is new, etc. We all great along with each other and stuff. (i don't know what I'm saying, I don't make sense )

As the years pass, the new community gets carried away. We start to trash talk on every and anything that is wrong with someones car.............somethings we go too far in trashing to the point we make someone cry cuz he/she can't take it anymore. We don't know what they are going through and that is what makes them cry.

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH YOU GUYS!!!!! This is suppose to be a family of one, not haters and envious people. I beginning to hate everyone in the Scion community just cuz there is no peace..............there has to always be drama. Don't claim that u have the best Scion in this community.................YOU DON'T. Sorry if I burst ur bubble. U will always be a loser in my book if u claim u have the best Scion..................Everyone has the best Scion, whether is on chrome wheels, on sportmaxs, has graphics, bodykits, neon, different crazy paint. It don't matter.

So this is what I have to say...............GROW UP. If u have nothing nice to say, F off. Get out of here. We don't need people like u. U r either nice or u don't say nothing. Its about time that someone steps up and says what is going on in this community. I don't care if mods deletes this..............I just everyone, from the west to the east, north and south, that this community is filled with drama and sometimes we need to see what we are doing to each other. I'm tired of all this *hit...........I'm done with it.

I'm not going to pick out which clubs, organizations, etc caused me to say this...........I'm already in enough trouble with this thread. If u guys want to kill me at the my next show appearance, go ahead. What r u going to prove? U are only proving that u r a supporter of breaking a growing community.

So everyone who agrees with me, join my movement. Lets spread the kindness, the love, the spirit of one love.

ONE LOVE.........................NO MORE DRAMA.

This is Teabox aka Robert signing off. I had enough of this world. I didn't just step out from the drama scene just to jump back on it again.....................Please guys and gals, love one each other. I'm going to pass around friendship braces the next time around.............and from that day on, u must wear it to every show.

I don't want to receive a phone call again from a friend who can't deal with trash talkers, NO MATTER IF IT WAS SERIOUS OR PLAYING AROUND, that put people down.

Come and get me Scion community.

 

Lets start back at ground Zero..............

Hi guys, I'm teabox and I'm an owner of an 05 scion xB. I want to know if anyone else is in love with there scion just like me?

Join me in reinventing our scene.......

 

Well said (er..written) man.

 

True to the point. The community is definately changing and especially on this site. People bash for no reason and it drives me nuts....

 

Thanks. Its about time someone steps up and says what is going wrong.

We are all going to start over. If anyone from other areas sees this, please, copy it and post it.....................Lets be one family..............not a family of war and hate.

 

There is going to be no more fighting, hating, bashing...................It all ends here, today, tonight, etc.

Spread the word. if u have nothing to say nice, don't say it. Keep it to yourself and leave.

 

I don't post as much as I used to because a few people have just sucked the fun out of SL. However, I found that they stay in the off-topic area because they really have nothing to contribute.
My advice (not that you asked): Find a safe place here and hide out.

 

couldnt of said it better this is the reason i dont post as much as i use to as well.

 

it's funny, because i was experiencing the opposite. i joined a club because i liked the name, and i heard about some crazy drama that was going on. i didn't stick my nose in it but i did start hanging out with the other person that was on the other end of the drama. nobody talked trash about eachother to me, it was cool. i just asked if they still had bad blood. and well sure everyone's cool with eachother now. but it does suck to be part of a community when there is trash talk going on, and i'm glad that someone was able to stand up and say something publicly because it got too far.

 

some people know me as a knowledge person that has helped a great deal to others.
a few others see me as an arrogant meanie who likes to be blunt at times. perhaps lacking in tact.

all in all, times have and will continue to change. as the numbers of scion owners grow, the community gets larger and larger...

and as that happens, the amount of diversity on behavior, intelligence, and knowledge... will collide creating a chaotic period in which for those strong enough will try to maintain order.

i know and understand your feelings as it is happening not only in socal, but nationwide as well..

seems most people have lost their definitions of what respect is. sadly i don't see it getting any better before it gets worse.

 

Yeah, I've been on SL for a few years, and it is definately different then it once was. I suppose this happens to all sites. The only thing we are really able to do is what frosty355 is doing or go back to the roots and do what we were doing before, helping each other out. I'm trying and it sorta works. Good luck with the crusade.

 

I agree to a point. Criticism is a great thing, and should never be discouraged.

When you mod your car, you're making a public display. Regardless of what you feel about your car, you need to realize that everyone is not going to like it. Just because you may be offended by what they have to say doesn't mean that they shouldn't be allowed to speak out if they want to.

That having been said, people need to learn HOW to comment about people's rides. I have my likes and dislikes, and I tell people about them, people tell me the same thing. Some people like my car, some don't. It's all good. I've developed a thick enough skin to not cry every time someone says something negative about my car.

So if you're going to put pink chrome wheels on your neon blue colored scion, be prepared for negative comments. If you like, fantastic, just don't get too upset when someone else doesn't.

The moment we stop allowing people to comment freely is the moment we lose the PURPOSE of a community, which is fundamentally a collection of different people with different opinions brought together by a common interest.

When you comment, be tactful, that's all we really need.

 

Thanks. lets kick out all the bashers or make them open there eyes so that they can see that they are causing more damage with the words they say.

This thread is dedicated to one of my friends......................*sniff* *sniff* No matter what other people say, u have me, don't listen to them. They have nothing on u. Let them rest in total un-peace. Call on me and I'll be there for you. One love.

Also to my main man with the Jenny Chu graphic on his hood............we are going to end all the bashing.

and to everyone who became a victim to bashing and put downs.............lift up ur head. U have one friend who will never bash on u............Me, teabox.

 

Yes, things have gotten out of hand and I've deffinately noticed this many times. I think it's part of the evolution of the car club. One starts out stock then gets ideas and builds up. Then one begins to think highly of oneself and the ego grows in power. Your relations within your group also get tight and one feels obligated to the group in some way. So when the shows roll around and things don't play out like they did in your mind you feel you must defend your honor and your club's. Eventually things do calm down when one can realize their actions in the view of a third person and recognize how silly it all seems. Unfortunately this usually only occurs after the damage is done and feelings are hurt and deep rivalries are formed. So I guess the best thing we can all do is to type up these postings, walk away from the screen and think a bit and then post them, after you have had time to think out your feelings. And look, not every show is judged by the same people and not all will turn out the same. If you have evidence of there being a farce then make sure it is well documented and please resolve it privately with the parties involved. Well, that's my theory anyhow. And as teabox stated this is not to be a flaming bashing thread or else I will lock it and the parties involved will be dealt with appropriately. I think it would be great if we could all use it as a group therapy session and confess our guilts and tell our stories. Peace.

 

Just to play the Devil's advocate here; bashing, flaming, hating (whatever you wanna call it) is not going to go away. You need the bad to define the good. Now I'm not saying that I like it, simply stating that it is necessary. You speak of growing up. Isn't part of growing up being able to rise above some nasty attitude in a post on a very large forum? So what if someone bashes on my car? I'm not going to get all bent out of shape about it. Just move on, there are more important things than other people's opinions.

I understand that some people don't see eye to eye about things and that some people get very crass when they see something they don't like. So what? The ones who cop an attitude aren't usually worth paying attention to anyway. I'm against the "if you have nothing nice to say, f*ck off" idea. If you don't like something feel free to say it (I do), just use a bit of common sense so you don't come off sounding like an arrogant bell-end

 

I don't know what "tactful" means, but I think we should get all the bashers/haters/etc in this thread and make them confess. Or better yet, everyone confesses. Like I said, we are all going to start over. The show I go to, I will pass something around, where its a sticker with a "one love" with the Scion logo behind, or friendship bracelets, its going to be something.

If a hater/basher comes here and gets this thing locked, u just spitted in everyones face, including mines. If u do that, I'll make sure that u are no longer a member/user on this forum and any other forums.

Join the family of one or get out. Its that simple.

 

Hey, almost everyone has family members they don't get along with. I don't think it can be that simple.

 

Sorry if I'm sounding arrogant...............I'm just tired of all the bashing. I know bashing is not going to end............I just think we could just minimize it or just don't listen to them.

We just need to be mature. One love..................

 

I didn't me you. I mean the ones who like to open their pie hole without thinking first.

edit-
didn't mean you

 

I understand. If I took it the wrong way, sorry, . . I kinda feel like I'm getting arrogant, .
