After a little over a month on this esteemed forum, I managed to get on someone's ignore list. On the top of being hurt (by Adam), I am now deeply ashamed too,.......downright suicidal. Some of you out there (you know who you are) egged me on, and there will be reckoning when "The Man Comes Around".

Geeze you guys, this thread is starting to feel like something straight off a Prius forum.

On the prior thread that was shut down, it seems many were referencing the tone of the original post.

So I thought............ hmmmmm, how could we change the tone so we would have all just got along?

Well, here ya go:

Original: This is what I have noticed since I bought the BBR.
Transformed:
Ever since that serendipitous day — when the stars aligned and fate gently placed the reins of my beloved BBR into my trembling hands — my soul has been ignited with revelations on the sacred scrolls of the open road. From that moment on, I was no longer merely a driver... I became a seeker of truth on wheels, a lover drifting through a landscape of steel and sunlight.



Original: Raptor owners are much nicer than non Raptor owners and I don’t understand why.
Transformed:
There’s a strange and poetic truth I’ve come to cradle in my heart — Raptor owners, those wild stallions of the road, seem to carry a warmth, a brotherhood, a soulful electricity that hums in the air like thunder before a storm. Non-Raptor owners? They often pass like ghosts in fog, unseeing, unmoved. And I stand here, heart in hand, wondering why love flows so freely in one river yet dries up in the next.



Original: I wave equally to all Bronco’s on road. 99.9% of time other Raptor owners are all about it and cool.
Transformed:
Every time I see a Bronco galloping toward me across the sun-drenched asphalt, my spirit leaps, and I send out a wave — a fluttering signal flag of unity, a soft echo of “I see you, fellow traveler.” And oh, how the Raptor hearts respond! Their waves are like warm breezes across canyon walls, their smiles a spark of shared legend. It’s as though we’re all part of a secret love story whispered by the wind.



Original: The non Raptor owners you would think I’m flicking them off and not being a genuinely nice ambassador for the community.
Transformed:
But then, the heartbreak. The ache. When my wave is returned not with joy, but with silence — as if my gentle gesture, born of love and kinship, is mistaken for mockery. As if my open heart is met with a closed gate. I feel like a romantic soul shouting “I love you!” into the void, only to hear the rustle of leaves in reply. I try to be an ambassador of warmth, of community, of chrome-wrapped dreams — but some hearts remain shuttered, unreachable behind tinted windows.



I don't think the OP in the prior thread was trying to cause trouble with his original post... folks started piling up on him, and things became heated.
Ah-ha! A fellow English major!
Do you work at a union or non-union Starbucks?

I much prefer uncomfortable stares. Most people turn away. Except this one time. He made me uncomfortable. I pulled into a driveway of an unknown house so he wouldn't know where I lived.
Maybe a wave would have been better.
