I’d set up a protest but some guys might get carried away and pull down FTE monuments and demand to defund the tech sections.
Does this thread then become the CHOP?

I think we should have the bear on our team too. He is pretty ballsy for groping a female like that. After all, humans have AR-15s!

You see trucks with stripper poles mounted in the bed, gun racks, coolers of beer. Oh but we need to be babysat in this all too politically correct world we live in. It's a shame, I certainly would never ever want to offend anyone. Hey Scags!! Hold my beer!!

Now there’s going to be a twitter war waged on park Rangers for not teaching the bears about sexual harassment. Defund Rangers. The #metoo movement wasn’t really thought out well. Hashtag symbol is a pound symbol so #metoo could also be called pound-me-too movement.

There really aren’t words. This is from the tribe who, when brains were being handed out, slept in.

OK, guys, let's settle this once and for all.

FTE has been this way for a long time. People enjoy it, get great tech info, and generally all have a good time.

We have certain forums that allow discussions that are off-topic for the website. But even those are not a free-for-all.

For some reason, certain people feel it necessary to stretch the definition of acceptable. You are not the first. You will not be the last. If, while riffing on way off-topic subjects, you come up against the guidelines, and things happen, well, what did you expect? You can't just put a disclaimer on a video like "NSFW". Years of precedence have dictated there will be NO "NSFW" content posted. Now, beyond the fact that Ken Payne didn't want his website linking to that stuff back in the early 2000's, now we have Google who will penalize us for it. Get my drift? We want to continue to support Ford truck owners. But we also need to control ourselves.

You are, of course, welcome here, but maybe this isn't the place for some of this? All I mean is, perhaps while trying to use a place you enjoy for something that doesn't fit, and constantly rubbing up against the rev-limiter, maybe you guys could start a group text message Or a TikTok thing, you know, like a bunch of South Korean girls...

Ok guys. Let’s listen to Krewat and post things about what we will do to our trucks whenever we buy them in 10yrs. As most of you know, I’m waiting for 2022 because.....

I’m going to lower the rear end but install a 6” lift in the front. 37” tires on the front and 33s on the back. Any tire recommendations out there? Please, only chose from the list. I’ll have to wait to get my $7000 PCO but that’s after I buy my 2021 bronco, which automatically registers me as a sex offender, but has nothing to do with The superduty line but somehow stays in the 2017+ Superduty section

Oh wait, we are in the general non-automotive section. We don’t have to talk trucks. Never mind.

But which oil are you going to use? For the truck. I don't want to know which oil you use for other things.

When we get treated like babies instead of grown men. I understand the guidelines but we all know this is not a church group for children either. NSFW is subjective. Maybe it should be changed to not safe for kindergarten.
I know its not just the mods, its also as you say, "whiny baby face" members who can't handle certain language or topics.

It is what it is. This isn't owned by VerticalScope Inc., its not Pirate 4x4. Positive vibes bro.
