    Well, I guess it makes me stupid to describe my problem and ask for any advice.
    Apparently some of you are never happy with anything I post.
    I call that trolling.

    Someone needs to grow up and stop getting good at trolling.

    Except several members here have asked a simple question - with or with PVM and you've failed to answer that. And then you attack the members for trying to get clarity on YOUR situation.

    while these threads can be contentious, they seem relatively benign, and are entertaining if nothing else

    I did answer the question. You are apparently siding with them. What's stopping you from banning me from the forum?

    Please share with everyone how you restrict someone's bandwidth to the point where it takes 10 minutes just to log in.

    Toward the very end, you replied to @Mendel Leisk and told him that your mirror is without PVM. Yet, you still stand by that the mirror with PVM that costs $1,200 (more than three times as much as the mirror without PVM) is the correct part, as in your linked post below:

    Right side mirror broken -any suggestions? | Page 2 | PriusChat

    For your information, w/ stands for with and w/o stands for without. So, w/PVM means with PVM.

    This and how you keep attacking everyone is what has been going here. And everyone here is a very nice person, who has kindly and generously offered you his/her help. You have never acknowledged their help but have kept relentlessly attacking them for no reason whatsoever.

    Nobody gets their posts nitpicked to death like mine. You don't have to like me, but a bit of respect is in order.

    I believe they may be all nice people in real life, but online, they are like a pack of wild dogs.

    I answered the question as soon as I was able. To imply that I refused to answer, is a bit of hostility I can do without.

    The lack of self awareness is astounding.
    "Nobody gets their posts nitpicked to death like mine"

    Oh my...

    I agree. But from the moment you joined, you have been defensive and argumentative. I don’t follow every thread so maybe I missed the ones you were nice throughout the entire thread but I will say, based on my limited interactions with you and reading your posts, that is my take.

    Now you can do what you want with that information. I’m not here to pick fights. I don’t know you personally and when online, I try and keep an open mind because one is interacting with a much, much wider audience than one would normally IRL. You can choose how you want to be seen online and you can choose to remain the same or change. Doesn’t matter. But I would say, if more than handful are saying the same thing, maybe chill and look in the mirror. Think about why we are responding the way we are. There’s no secret cabal or collusion to “get back at you”. Respect is earned. The members here have no problem calling me out when I misstep. I appreciate that since it helps me learn. Become a better person and talking with members builds a rapport.

    well written, Tideland. Maybe it takes a word from our Canadian cousin to take another look at ourselves.
