Trust me...it's not just that site that keeps a poor ethical standard. Many others do as well. My friend invited me to join a (of all things) Monte Carlo SS board on which he was a moderator. After a while on there I made a few posts in what turned into a Chevy vs. the world thread (along with some other non-Chevy owners) and immediately got an email from the site administrator saying that more "inflamitory" posts wouldn't be tolerated because it was a "Chevy oriented site". Now as most of you know my posts are 1/2 and 1/2...1/2 are blatant attempts to piss people off just for the effect of pushing someone's buttons and the other 1/2 are well thought out and somewhat polite means of making my point. After stating that it was basically his way or the highway, I copied and pasted the email on the board with my response (which I also sent to the site admin.). After about 20 member of the board replied in MY defense (and none in opposition), the thread was deleted and I was banned from the board. Not a huge setback...it was a Monte Carlo board. But that would never happen here without some SERIOUSLY out of line posts on my part. So we should all give a big hand to the site administer for keeping some standard of ethics and tolerance (even if the constant pop-ups are pretty annoying).
