I don't know about other people, but i don't come here to listen to somebody's marriage problems....all of the things he is unhappy about....or someone tell us how we should behave, what to believe, how to vote, or what we should believe about God. This is the same reason I don't watch daytime dramas. :-)
I come here to look at people's projects, coverage of car events, advise about "automotive things", and things people have discovered concerning....you guessed it....cars. If I want to hear more about politics, social issues, or the things people do to each other, I'll turn on the TV.

Well now I am confused and a little more miffed.
I really can appreciate the moderators issues with political brouhaha posts especially ones that end up going well off of the tangent or causing personl indigestion to be but into words. [Perhaps there should be a forum for polictical issues, but with rules about harshness, libel and slander. A forum that can be closed upon the first glimpse of abuse. That way the stuff stays out of the hotrod material.]
But my problem is that I don't recall that the original thread contained any political content. It was about property rights and a misguided court decision. Whether the violators were Mexican, Cubans, Costa Ricans, Chinese, Mongolians or even Venusians doesn't really have much to do with the primary issue.
When I went back to re-read the short thread, it was gone. WTF! Almost like it never happened.
Now we all look like idiots because we are discussing something that doesn't exist. A mind is a terrible thing to waste, so I would appreciate not having to survive mind games here.
Hotrodpaint - while I have a great appreciation for you and your contributions to this site from which even I have benefited, my only question is that if you find that people on the HAMB criticize and whine too much why are you a member there? Obviously there must be something gratifying about the place.
Well, guess I have gone too far once again. Hopefully not to be outcasted to the tar pits. Didn't mean to offend, just wanted to do a wisdom check.
BTW, Thanks for the support Don!
Catch you all later!Last edited by mopar34; 02-12-2009 at 10:59 AM.

Was a member, but stopped visiting it a few months ago. I did drop in about a week ago, but the tone was the same, so I'm done.
Mr. Mustang, I applaud you for keeping this generally a friendly place.
Well, I've gotten a couple opposing responses, so my mission here is complete. :-)~

Don,
There is a forum for talking politics, CLICK HERE
You are not offending, just bringing something to this automotive forum that does not belong, that is all. You have to remember, young people (children as young as 8 years old) who do searches for their dream cars (remember way back when, I used to dig through magazines looking for all of the really cool automotive ads and stuff, now they have the internet) end up on this forum, as such, we attempt to do our best at keeping things below an R ratings.
Again we appreciate your understanding and future cooperation in this matter.
Hope all is well with you and yours.
Sincerely,
Bill S.Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

I think my sensitivities are too tender for that site. Maybe I'll just bite my tongue and curb my enthusiasm and stay here.Bob

Neutral third party moderator here= peace
As for that web site, someone else on another web forum posted it I just happened to remember the post. Remember the old saying be careful what you wish for.......Then remember, you did ask above for a forum you could talk politics, didn't you
