Let's just call this "The Day Red5 Went Mental". That's about as close to the line of threatening someone here as you can get without facing some consequences of your own. It's OK to go mental every now and then, just don't do the threats thing man.

You've urged us to consider tolerance toward others around here, so I'm perfectly willing to just let this one die and scuffle the dirt over it in the interest of moving on. I would suggest, however, that you have a chip on your shoulder about Craig. He's not a punk, obviously isn't trying to put you down about car ownership and he has a lot to contribute here. Maybe y'all should just avoid each other for a while.

Peace bruthas.

PS-

Red, I re-read the sequence above fairly carefully and noted that you teed off on Craig without any provocation after he said something about having driven the Viper to a McDonald's. You said "What the fuck are you talking about? You're just a kid with a Joe Blow car ..." Perhaps you were under the impression that he was lying. He's not. He doesn't own a Viper and has never said he does. The Viper is in his family ... father's or uncle's or something like that. Which is why he's such a Viper addict. He gets to see it all the time and drive it only occassionally. He's neither a liar nor a poser, just a kid who's a Viper fanatic. Why hate on that?
