Bashing... for the most part the list is pretty good about it, pretty low key. Our mailbox from the website though... try this on for size, straight from the bostig mailbag, now THIS is bashing(I've placed * to help keep it cleaner ha):

"12/18/06 1:20 AM you people really need to get off of that dope! you are almost as bad as that *sshole kennedy @ KEP (engineered ?) with his "subaru" conversions. I will admit that cosworth is really good motor(I prefer rotax myself)but it is not the answer for the vanagon. A vw TDI would be better but a real man would have to have a 911agon nothing even comes close! I personaly have built five of these wonderful vehicles (try a 3.0 SC motor in vanagon syncro)and there is nothing else that will compete. So please go to some N.A. meetings and quit f*cking up perfectly good vanagons with you putrid pinto fag motors.If you do not change your evil ways you will rot in hell alongside that *sshole kennedy(and believe me when I tell you he will not shut his mouth -chrisbadboy"

My reply was simply:

"Wanna race?"

Guess I'm going to rot in hell. Shucks.

And Benny, stop telling us you're emailing from the beach, it's mean.
