Is the site for Prius owners or Prius bashers?

    Prius chat should welcome all civil discussion. People should be mature enough to see that there are a variety of viewpoints in this world. However, anyone who stoops to the level of being a liar or name calling should not be allowed here. Unfortunately I have seen examples of that here.

    The way I understood it was that people trying to dispell misconceptions are talking to the wrong crowd because nobody will listen to them. I try to make my objective of dispelling misconceptions as public as possible and his comment seemed directed to people with that same goal.

    I don't think so. I haven't seen all of your posts, but in general I find they have useful information and/or a different perspective without a hostile tone. I think there's evidence that you're willing to share knowledge and listen to another point of view. Just so you know, some of us appreciate your contributions. :rockon:

    In no way was my comment directed at any one particular person.


    If someone comes up and asks me about the CNW survey or Sudbury, I'll tell them what I think. I'm not gonna keep quiet just because I think they're not the type. It's only if they keep beating the dead horse would I just not bother and not waste my time when there's someone else out there who has a legit and serious question.

    Naw, you're ok. Just too skinny. Try to eat more, I feel distinctly uncomfortable around skinny people - makes me feel chubby

    I'm a huge fan of our smilies, and how often can you actually use that one? PRICELESS! I like the whip (uh oh, might have gone over the line with that...). :D

    My 2 cents.

    I've been a member for 4 years and have NOT enjoyed the demise of PriusChat as "the" source for helpful Prius information and support. I find the endless grinding about off topic subjects annoying and the quantity of misleadingly labeled new treads a waste of everyone's time.

    I'm sorry, topics like "2010 Prius Sunroof Installed" is not an accurate description for someone looking for information about a sunroof installation.

    End.
