On one car forum I'm a member of if I say I drive a Jeep TJ some of the members will just post a rainbow flag emoji. They're just jealous.
The "other" site
- Thread starter Shwane
- Start date
From what I can tell, it seems like most of the "good crowd" from the "other sites" ended up here. I think it works out well for us!
I was on the other site the last couple of days. Bored at work. Some funny stuff, but not intended to be funny.
@BendLarry, not to incite but, that particular poster did reply as to why he did not like the design of those bumpers.

Naww, I was thinking of being "that guy" who says "those things"...
That "snobby person" you're referring to is obviously me. But if you review your thread, you will find that I did explain exactly to you why I wouldn't run them. And you then went on to reply back to me on how and why you then understood my answer and reasoning on the front bumper's bad approach angle it created. Also its bulky design and how far out it extended in front of the tires.
I also explained why in my first post in your thread why I wouldn't run the rear bumper, explaining that it looked like a weak and poor design.
So despite your above claim otherwise, I did indeed provide my reasoning on why I said I personally wouldn't run either bumper.
And last I heard, personal opinions are usually welcome here and indeed in most forums.

Just because we'll say sorry even if we didn't do it, doesn't mean you can blame us.
Sorry...

You only explained yourself AFTER I replied " no explanation?" You are a snob sir and that is my opinion.

I had to push him to explain himself. Until I did he just shared his opinion that I never asked for. I asked if anyone knew who made the bumpers, but he felt the need to say he would not run them without initial explanation. I have seen other posters finding him to be rude if nothing else. He knows a lot and posts a lot, helps many people I'm sure, but his tone can put people off.
He's also been around the Jeep world for a long time, and is an old guy ( @Jerry Bransford) who has earned the right to some respect. It's hard sometimes to read attitudes in forum posts so I think it's something you should just let go. In the end we all want to learn some stuff on here, and if that is what you were after, you got his opinion. It's up to you now what to do with it...

I may be a snob in your eyes (I will sleep fine at night knowing that) but at least I am truthful... you have repeatedly said I offered no explanation at first. I did explain my main objection in my very first post, as follows.
So with that, how can you say I gave "no explanation" until after you asked for one?
I could tell you had gotten butt hurt after you asked me repeatedly for further explanation. You didn't need to ask repeatedly, I would have replied once I got back home... I don't sit on the computer all day.
All I can say is if you consider people "snobs" for giving personal opinions, asked for or not and followed by polite explanations why when you asked, you had best find someone to talk with help yourself get over your inability to accept and live with other people's opinions.
Opinions don't have to be asked for in order to often benefit from them. Which is a benefit to forums. I may talk about a project or plans I have without specifically asking for opinions because I expect opinions to be offered. Perhaps you should learn to expect opinions to be offered?
Here's the link to that thread again... https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/who-makes-these-bumpers.4843/#post-66229
I Have no problem with everyone seeing the thread Larry has such huge problems with what I said.

Death and taxes, right? The two certainties you can't escape in life.
I see @BendLarry he's an old guy too. It's all good! Now, let's see if we can get back to the thread topic. What's the topic again? Oh yeah, how this is the most snob free Jeep zone on the web! :risas3:
I wonder what WF and JF were like before they got bought out by Vertical Scope.
You know, when they were still run by just some individual like myself.

Thanks JMT still figuring out what I have. For the most part I'm pretty pleased with it, I even agree with that other old fart that there might be better front bumpers out there.
