Am I the only person here who notices with a heavy heart that in order to say the name of your club, you have to use the offending term? Surely such an august group should be able to devise a way to avoid becoming the worst offenders in the righteous battle to eradicate use of the dreaded "ST**K"?

 

don't forget the hot wings...Hooters style.

Or, just forget the wings and bring the Hooters.

Just for the record for all of you rigid, "starch in my underwear", purists out there, the official name is "S 2000."

It is not:

S2000
s2000
Stook
stook
S2K
s2k

Be pure about the name lest it be mis-stook for another.

My application for membership is not in the mail.

 

It seems that an Anti-"St**k" club should not get involved in the corectness of terms other that "St**k". With the narrow focus of Anti-"St**k", you can concentrate your efforts and gain a wide following. Taking a stance against these other terms might alienate people who would otherwise agree with your message.

Have fun,

This is hilarious.....I love stook....there's nothing with stook

 

Hey Ted, two questions:

1) How can I join your club without using the dreaded
you-know-what term? It's in the club's name (and
therefore in all communications, threads, messages etc. etc.)
Go back and substitute anti-s***k everywhere immediately!!

2) Aaahhh, but does the club have a T-shirt??? If you're
going to have a club, ya gotta do it.

 

Stook Stook Stook

 

People can freely refer to themselves and or their local club using the term if they would like. But it is insulting to refer to the Honda S2000 using the "S" word.



Webster Dictionary

 

Regardless of my feelings about the term (which will remain unspoken at this time).

It is my car, and if I want to call it a stook, or a hypercivic, or simply "Just a car", what business is it to anyone but me?

I appreciate that you do not like the term and if you choose not to use it, I respect that. Ones diction however is a personal choice, and unless it crosses the boundaries which are considered by the consensus of society to be unacceptable, it is really nobodies concern but the speakers.

If you feel you must express your displeasure about the words I or someone else on this board choose to use, then I will recommend that all people who are opposed to the "Anti-Stook" club tenants put members of the "Anit-Stook" club on there ignore list. What will happen will be that the only ones who speak to ASC members will be other ASC members. If ASC fails to grow then it will be a small lonely group of people posting to each other. If ASC does grow, it will divide this board into two virtual boards, neither of which says much to each other.

The bottom line is this. This "Anti-Stook" club is divisive and not in the spirit and best interest of this board over all. I will implore those members to resign, and live quietly to there own standards, letting others do the same.

 

I'm thinking of taking this all the way to the Supreme Court! We need to make an amendment to the Constitution stating that the word "stook" is highly offensive to the S2K. Europeans should do the same, and picket the European Court of Human Rights. (I'm not sure what the Aussies should do, though. They only have animal rights, don't they?)

I also think we should bombard any "Pro-Stook" posters here with junk P.M.s and emails for failing to recognize that this is a "Anti-Stook" thread!
