I didn't think you could post an essay on a forum.

Well said, though !!

I tried to post my "fundamentals of the smart" essay on here but found that it contains over 30,000 characters and this site only allows 10,000 of them.

My passwords for my PC are long too. Heck, my password to the computers at school are 21+ characters long!

It's almost like reading how someone doesn't like vanilla ice cream.

Who cares.
We do.

If we didn't respond to rants of unhappy people and bashers then the web would just end up filled with opinionated bull like the Yahoo Autos and cars.com article, lousy opinion based reviews, and irresponsible owners taking their anger out on the car because they didn't do the smart thing.

Somebody must speak out to the nonsense, why not us?

Well, yes, I do understand your unresolved frustration in dealing with the irrational, but does it really serve purpose? Are you really changing hearts and minds here? There is plenty of "nonsense" out there to speak out against.
This chap was just voicing his opinion about a vehicle that clearly was not for him; I suspect most of his bile is self-loathing over his making such a huge “mistake”, so how else to salve his foot shot than to take it out on the: you guessed it, the very owner’s of his debacle.
I’m back to my simplistic vanilla argument; he bought a gallon, found it repugnant and his self-worth demands he tell chocolate lovers to shy away from this evil.

Enough of my psycho babble.

The poster is best known as a TROLL. their main purpose in life is to go onto sites and cause a commotion. stir up the pot so to speak. In my opinion, this is why the moderators are forced to do the nasty work of shutting them down.

If I was that dis-satisfied with any product I purchased, I doubt that I would spend so much time trashing it. Especially if I was trying to sell it... doesn't that just make potential buyers shy away from purchasing it?? who is the dummy there??

I can't believe he drove it 18,000 miles and THEN decided he hated it. Odd all the way 'round.
