    Is it me or did we recently have a wave of low post count (sometimes just 1 post) users posting complaints w/very hard to read posts that seem to never return? They seem like trolls to me or people who have "thrown a grenade".

    By hard to read, it seems that they tended to have one big long paragraph. In some cases, their posts were all lowercase as well. Also many (?) of them indicated their location was somewhere in NJ. That seems a bit odd. Why the sudden influx of Prius owners in NJ?

    I figured it could be just one guy w/a multiple personality disorder or something and possibly related to another poster from NJ (I won't name him) who began a thread that was very combative.

    There was another fishy post last night, but that person didn't indicate their location...

    It is not you. I sense something is coming. Something to spoil the upcoming Prius family members?

    The choices coming in a few years are mindblowing!

    CT200h - Lexury sporty 42 MPG
    Prius v - 40 MPG potential to steal a lot of SUV / minivan sales
    Prius C - The most affordable yet highest cordless MPG
    PHV Prius - The best of both EV and HV worlds at an affordable price
    RAV4 EV - 100 miles real-world range powered by Tesla to be affordable
    IQ based EV - City EV to complement Prius HV family

    first, that's "roseanne". second, tesla's model s was omitted as well as nissan's leaf. third, we've had a few days of melting so you can actually see clear pavement, and in the south, some grass.

    I noticed the long-paragraph-hard-to-read-thing myself. More problematically and for the moderators to consider, I find myself tiring of all the negativity and other whining going on here. I like Priuschat for the good information and insightful comments and occasional humor by the 'community'. But it takes too long to wade through all the troll posts and whiners who don't search before complaining about 30 mpg at 10 degrees. I'm losing interest in PC.

    I noticed the trend also. It's one thing to share experiences good and bad, but the trolling actions are disheartening.

    It's 30 minutes of your life you would've rather spent in the hospital getting a colonoscopy. The cast members should all be sent somewhere far far away. Maybe a new season of Survivor. :)

    Yeah, I tried watching an ep one time because there was some discussion of it on TiVocommunity and whether the show had any redeeming qualities.

    All I can say is, OMG. :eek: I can't believe millions of people watch this crappy show and humor these people. For them to do so well in ratings (esp. since it's on a "cable channel") just blows my mind. :confused: I like some reality TV, but re: this show, UGH!

    I'm not a true New Jerseyian.


    I'm temporally displaced from another state.





    the Jersey shore idiots are not indicative of New Jerseyians.
    those "things" are from Staten Island.

    Unfortunately, yes, they are the youth that some parents who just don't give a 'f' produce around here.... But they sure as hell aren't indicative of all Staten Island youth.

    But you can go to NJ, NY, Wisconsin or even Idaho and I'm sure there are some type of moron kids just as ignorant as the Jersey Shore idiots.
