[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 573832, member: 60724"] RLOwner, thanks for the explanation. So you are here to change attitudes, not just fight; that is good. But your first post was sarcastic ("Yep....the Ridgeline is a piece of junk. All these people have to be wrong!"), and sarcasm is a weak form of communication when attempting to change attitudes, especially the attitudes of zealots and fanatics; which almost by definition is what you will find on a board like this. Those two words, zealots and fanatics, need not necessarily mean anything negative. I am using them in the context of people that have diehard passion for a subject matter, in this case, the ST. So, coming to an ST site, where you obviously are going to see trash talking about competition (just like you would if you went to the Steelers section of the arena during the game against the Cowboys), and start your first communication with the group with sarcasm, expect that it might "go down hill" from there. You could have posted all the same accolades and ask: "Please explain this?" Then calmly discussed the replies. BTW, I think the RL's look very nice and am sure they will fill the need of many people; and am secure enough in the capabilities of the ST to accept the healthy competition in the marketplace.
