Maybe the part I'm not communicate well is that while I may have met some people at events that may have been vehicle (or activity) specific, I'm not friends with anyone BECAUSE of that nor do I play into any of the internal hierarchy because of how much of something someone is. We've known each other a long time, and I'm not accusing you of that either. I'm into camping and rock crawling, and it doesn't make any difference to me what you drive to do that and I don't need to advertise to everyone where I've been or what I've done for attention or respect. Maybe this particular habit of some people has become more prevalent with social media, in fact I'm sure of it, so maybe that's why it's more of a divisive topic to people that have been camping and 4 wheeling long before social media was used for conspicuous participation? Is that why you are so hard on the people who use the word "overlanders"? It's certainly a big part of why I am.
So I don't follow the pot or kettle colloquialism, and I while I may have been coy about my intent to make fun of patchists, I certainly don't think that qualifies as passive aggressive. I'd be friends with anyone that's good humored about what they do. However, obviously somewhere, either here or in some other point in time outside of here, I've done or said something to you that has brought all of this up. So maybe there is some passive aggressiveness going on, but if you need to clear the air with me about something, I mean, we've been friends for close to 20 years, just let me know what's up.
