A RESPONSE FROM CORVETTE FORUM

Rich Z said:
No, I'm not taking offense at this at all. I just see both sides to it. I agree that the site does have rules that they need to enforce. But I do not think the way you were handled in reference to their rules was in the best interests of all involved.

That is simply my opinion.....

Many of us have been involved in St. Judes over the years:thumbsup:It's a great cause. I still do it, I just do it through other channels now instead of the other forum. Thanks for donating and fundrasing:thumbsup::thumbsup:

Now, what does any of the above have to do with the OP's banning?:shrug01::confused:

As do most on other forums. So why would "family and friends" treat other "family & friends" so poortly?

What are you trying to say?

I was making the point I have not found the family or friend here, except for the ones I already knew through Corvette Forum and TBV.
Just as you said you have never warmed up to TBV, I have never warmed up to here.

Felt safe...
and posted a personal message. There is a reason they are called personal. I do not feel a PM should ever be shared :NoNo:

Unfortunately, most people are creatures of habit.

We tend to go the same way to work and home, drink the same drinks, eat the same foods, etc etc etc. It's a study in human nature.

That said, we tend to gravitate to places where we've been before.
In this case, we tend to visit the same forums.

So is it “cut off at the knees” if some outside source (someone) does not allow you to be a creature of habit?

Greg has certainly helped me as well. But God fobid you mention that on the other forum:NoNo:

I've seen cases where, although the "rules" state you can give "props" to a non-supporting vendor, the threads have been locked or deleted when such activity has occurred "quoting "non-supporting vendor" ?

If you want to know anout this ask Greg, and if he wants to explain it to you then fine.
 
Well

I was making the point I have not found the family or friend here, except for the ones I already knew through Corvette Forum and TBV.
Just as you said you have never warmed up to TBV, I have never warmed up to here.[/FONT][/QUOTE]

If you have never warmed up here, then why do you continue to come here?
Just wondering not trying to start a B*tch fight.

Ok. I thought member was sufficient? It read more like a BIO to me.

As mentioned then, why continue to come back? If I don't feel comfortable, I generally don't go back. I sure as heck don't go into some place that's uncomfortable and start defending anything.
There are a few sites that I visit that I don't get "warm fuzzies" from either. I seldom frequent them except when I'm bored or looking for information I can't find elsewhere.

FWIW, after things went downhill (IMO) after the IB buyout, CF felt that way to me:( The "family & friends" feeling went away and it was just another website to gather information. Hell, I didn't even post for about a month, just lurked and read.

I agree, however, he did so to present facts in a matter at question. In those cases, I don't have a problem with them. Heck, in a civil suit they can be subpoenaed. The moral is: Don't send anything by PM or E-Mail that you don't want read;)

Pot Stirrer

I'm the cooler (not sure you'd know what I mean;):lmao::lmao:

Seriously. Can't handle a little criticism? Difficult to understand?
The statement is simple and simply stated. Friends don't treat Friends the way some have been treated!

If you're implying that I've treated anyone the way some of these folks have been treated, then you're mistaken.

And the term "friend" is not one I use loosely. Aquaintences are quite another thing.

I've never banned anyone, friend or otherwise, here or elsewhere, without first giving them a chance to correct thier actions and without giving them sufficient warning.

Even the Porn and spammers get a reason and a message from me;):thumbsup:

I have no need to "ask Greg" anything, nor do I feel the need to drag Greg into your mess. FWIW, I've the above stated matter with my own 2 eyes, thank you. :thumbsup:

I would assume this is the case with most banning

Why are you always talking about moderation? . It seems you are not talking to me, but seem to obsessed with who you think is posting. I though this was about friends. I know and you know what you have done to “Brothers” . I will not bring that up here

You know what I am talking about. You are the "extraterrestrial" who decided that it was time to take forum crap and project it on life. You overstepped the bounds. You do not realize who else you affected (Some of your "Friends - Family" who are here)
