joking around is one thing and we are all guilty of doing it...but to the extent of "malicious stereotyping" will not be tolerated.

with that said, i will report this to AK and it will be up to him to decide if it violates a forum rule or not...

Guys....he was bashed for talking about business before he turned sponsor, rightfully so (although he was specifically asked to provide the info he gave).

He then posted a funny-*** pic of a clunker sporting a GTR badge and added the caveat, in order to buy it, you'd have to talk to an official sponsor and not him.

This wasn't an attack on Fusz, or "malicious stereotyping"....it was a tongue-in-cheek joke on HIMSELF for not being an official sponsor yet.

I swear, I go from one thread to the next watching the same people rotate between jokesters to thread-police in the span of 20 seconds.

If his comment of:
was intended in the manor cracking a joke on himself in that he couldn't offer to sell it to us because he wasn't a sponsor yet then I retract my statement. However that isn't how I read it so if that isn't how it was intended then my statement stands.

it wasnt the comment about fusz matt...it was the poland flag comment that is a violation of a rule member or not, its slanderious to other nationalities in which this forum is made of...

Interesting thread.

I think this is just a harmless joke. Since koeppelnissan status is NOT a sponsor yet, he pointed to the active sponsor to buy the part.

Let me see if I get this right .... It's a joke about having a Nissan cube with GTR logo. If anyone wants the logo to boost HP (joke/sarcasm) please contact Lou (as he is an active sponsor).. AM I right?

Oh yikes, I didn't even catch that reference. Well ****, I can only defend this guy so much....

KDO, you're correct. We do not discriminate or crack joke at members or their flags from different countries. I did remove that from the original message. :tiphat:

i get the joke part about the gt-r emblem but the flag part is just :shakes head:

lol im too slow :tup:

I was joking that I'm not a sponsor and am not allowed to solicit any type of business, but Fusz is. Thanks to Matt for defending me.

Now in the immortal words of a salesman- AK, the check is in the mail!

Must be those da*n vicodins! :icon17: I don't know if you'll believe me, but I haven't taken a pain med in like years (at least 5 years)

Nope he quit that!

:ugh2:

:rolleyes: lol i flush those crappy things out of my system this weekend :icon17:

first and last time i take vicodins...they gave me two undesirable side effects...eh hm... i wont go into details...

Deleted my statement, I miss understood you.

No harm done :hello:.. I tried to explain what's going on here and I'm glad I was right. http://www.the370z.com/other-vehicle...tml#post263609
