EcoModder isn't at war with anybody

[alohaspirit]

my friend made a few posts on teamswift just trying to fix up his car

he was jumped on

no help, no redirection, just insults


but that was a few years ago

I'm reading and participating on both EcoModder and CleanMPG forums and I never received a negative comment on one site because I'm participating to the other one. I can even say I have never been insulted even when I may be using some wrong words to express myself with my "Spanish cow" English.

This is why I decided to reward both sites, else i would not have hesitated to stop my participation. If one of my sentence in this post may make you thing that I'm opening a war, I'm just offering people the right to decide where their money will go (which you can't do with French taxes ) but at the end I'll adopt the "Ecole des fans" strategy (more on that October 1st).

On French sites, noticeably on ecological one, you are insulted in most of the threads you open when you are trying to do something positive but not with the same old solutions these people are accustomed with. Per example for cars you must simply stop to use it... while I'm proposing to use it in smarter ways : Ecomodding & HyperMiling.

Life long and prosper to Ecomodder, CleanMPG and all others great forums (EcoRenovator, GasSavers...) which are giving me much more than I ever be able to give them back.

I'll admit there have been some "skirmishes" between me and other Moderators years ago that soured my experience with a particular site.

A goodwill, in-face meeting with the owner and some Mods didn't resolve the issue, but left it at a "friendly draw", but was, in fact, a good first meetup of fellow hypermilers. Shortly thereafter, it was still obvious that my FE philosophy wasn't congruent with that site, so I didn't return and left it at that.

I prefer to concentrate on one site to maximize time and effort -- so here I am (and now that my computer is fixed, I have more accessibility and plan to be around more).

I like it here. It's as simple as that.

Same here. I bought my first Metro, needed help, went there, and got insulted. That was the whole reason I started GeoMetroForum

Some boards have a friendly environment like Ecomodder and that is why I hang out here.
