    If I read that correctly, it's just stupid.

    I have wasted my time for having read it and hold Squid directly accountable. Squid, you officially owe me three minutes redeemable upon demand.

    From that thread, I love this idiotic statement from DaGimp.

    "I understand what a hybrid is, but thats not the source of the problem.
    Until theres more education, you tree huggers can't do a thing, it's inevitable the earth is doomed."

    Um, moron, who are the ones trying to educate people about the problem...could it be those that you affectionately call tree huggers?!

    I have to say, he certainly does prove his point about needing more education. :lol:

    :huh: I'm with Tony... I, too, wasted my time. I actually have Squid on IGNORE due to his irritating animated avatar, but did read this one post.

    It has become my habit to IGNORE those forum participants who use animated avatars. This keeps my sessions more peaceful. THANKS PriusChat for having the IGNORE capability.

    not really perspectives, kinda seems like uneducated people just bitching because they can't go 85mph on the freeway.

    don't hate my hybrid because you want one.

    Now now, let's not jump at Squid for the post. I was half-joking when I said that Squid owes me three minutes, but not that it was a waste of time. There is nothing wrong with the post or its location here in the Main Forum.

    I can't define an obscene thread, but I know one when I read one. And this is not one. Let's not turn it into one.

    You could also just turn off all signatures and pictures in your board settings. Leads to a lean&mean reading experience.

    Hey Squid,

    You sure seem to be connected. I had no idea there are such sites!. Some of these instigators are a total blow-outs. Disconnected from reality!!
    I tell you, people have no better things to do then vent their frustration to those of us who elect to be frugal. I own a 450 HP muscle car that gets anywhere between 12 to 23 MPG and I will tell you that Prius is not SLOW!! It's not the quickest but it is fast if you want it to be. Cruise at 80MPH with 45 MPG!! This is paradise!!

    Those idiots have no idea what they are missing.

    Just ignore them. They are not worth our attention.
