And if that last sentence applies to you read the whole post again!

It's time everyone on the site recognized that we are all Dodge owners and we are all here because we like our Dodges. Everyone has their own particular model but there's no reason we can't appreciate the other models, or at the very least be civil. Friendly rivalry is fine but it has gone far beyond that lately.

The Ram guys have been read a sermon from the Book of Threats about proper sportsmanship. It was good to see the forum get excited about TOTM again, but a few took it too far. A little friendly competition is great, but save the hate for the ricers.

In all seriousness, I hope in the future we don't have a repeat. Its fun to have a little competition but nothing resembling an online hockey match.

I couldn't agree more. It was very heated over there. Well, let's see how next month turns out. Maybe we will all have a few beers, get sh*t faced and be friends again.

The sermon was read by "Father Hammer" and if you care to go to Eric's post in the 3rd Gen Ram section:

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/3rd-gen...tm-winner.html

I think you'll see a bit of a change of heart there. I've always posted a bit in this and most other truck and SUV sections, especially if I felt I had something to offer in a thread and a little cutting up in your OT thread.

I think a good way to avoid this in the future is a little cross posting between the Dak and Ram sections. There are a lot in common within the trucks, especially among guys with the 4.7 engine.

So head on over to the Ram sections once in a while, hell you might actually make a couple friends over there...

I know that there will always be a competition and the opinions that one section is better than another, but that is simply because we all are so dang proud of our vehicles. We are all dodge owners, be it Ram or Dak, 1st 2nd or 3rd Genners. Its our truck, and as much as some people may disagree with me on this but -- on the basic levels its just metal, wiring, framework, plastic and rubber. Yeah we can customize them, deck them out and dress them up... That is what makes everyone so proud and thinks that their sec or truck is the best... But this is just a FRIENDLY contest, this is a FORUM, this isnt life. There is no reward (other than the lil badges I make) -- no money, nothing...

post up the original thread...it sounds like fun. Did someone take off their sholder pads and pretend to be dead?
