Where have our members gone? (or, the self-absorption of Evan)

[REAL 1]

What Ernie has posted is and has been a historical problem on this site i.e. personal attacks that are sometimes vicious.

Silverback: When you have been around this site as long as I have (2001) and have experienced the personal attacks over the years for staking out a postion that others here don't care for even when your position is based on fact and even back up by SAAC the motivation for the personal attacks begin to rise to surface and expose themselves.

When you have been around this site as long as me and seen what I have then you can come back and comment. Frankly you have no clue as evidenced by your post. So its not about me presuming anything...its about my experience over the years here. Period.

There are some decent guys here. There are some here that aren't very nice that are motivated by envy or other issues to launch personal attacks. I've also been around long enough that I can usually tell light hearted teasing from vicious attacks.

My position stands and is actually backed up in black and white. Just research the thousands of posts dealing with the Continuation series. Yes there have been other threads provoking controversy but none have been brought out the bile of those here that don't own Shelbys like that subject.

I could be a plumber and my observations would be same and so would my position.


It also seems that the person who started this thread sees the same thing I have seen over the years and that other "veteran" members such as me have seen. I don't like conflict but I won't shy away from an argument either when I see the facts are being distorted or statements made that are demeaning pertaining to a particular subject that is of interest to me i.e the Continuation Shelby Cobras.

Thats how I see it.

Takes care.

Evan, you're a broken record. You literally post on one subject and one subject only.

A "broken" record generally won't play anything at all. It's a "stuck" record that continually plays the same track, thus forcing you to push the needle over a bit creating the "scraaattccchhhh" sound that we are all so fond of. Just another common misconception that bore correcting -- you know, like continuation Cobras being real.

Maybe we could tape some pennies to his head...
