CarId post on 3SI - Their Idiots!!!

What kind of sophomoric troglodyte lampoons someone for using the word "succinctly?

lol @ 3Stech comments. It's amazing the crap people come up with about that site. I could make a completely empty forum, and just because I'd use referral membership people would think the answer to the meaning of life is hidden inside and everyone who wasn't member would talk shit about it.

The truth is, people who are not members assume members are elitist pricks with huge egos, when time and time again just reading the comments about the site makes it obvious it's the other way around.

If you REALLY wanted to be a member over there, you might want to start by checking that ego at the door. It's not how smart you are (several members are engineers, most aren't), it's not how fast your car is (top 2 fastest 3S owners aren't there), it's not about how popular you are, so i guess the answer is a lot simpler.

I personally have no problem with 3stech. I applied years ago while I was getting my Master's degree when AdamVR4 encouraged me to apply, but for whatever reason was denied membership. That's fine with me. I'd like to think my application was far from egotistical, but feel free to prove me wrong.

It's all a wash now anyway.

I can say confidently that my IQ is greater than over 80% of the population there

far from egotistical, but feel free to prove me wrong.

I don't remember what happened with your application, but there's a lot of times they just "time-out" due to inactivity, not denial. Has the unintentional (or Grayson knew exactly it would happen) effect of keeping most of the "butthurt" out, though, which is nice.


Scotty, "taking the piss" means a lot different thing in the USA than the UK/downunder, lol.

Let's not forget that Western Society did not advance out of the Dark Ages until they stopped killing their smart people.

What does it mean in the US of A? I know it means the same in good ol England as it does in Oz.

Taking the piss means the same thing over here, Scotty.

Taking the piss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Taking a piss is a whole other matter (see above). Guess it depends on how many Jason Statham films you've watched.

Quite true. That's the reason I credit Joseph Stalin as the key reason for US airpower dominance in the 20th century--since Stalin purged pretty much everyone who could have designed superior planes.

Mine was specifically rejected, with the vote count noted in my application thread. Not sure why, but I just said "oh well" and moved on.

Last month I responded to a survey on 3si. All the questions were related to car and part purchase decisions. AF is clearly not there to promote a "community."
