Default Beware the dark side

I was looking at an older thread and noticed some names that I hadn't seen in a long while. One of them was a guy who bought a car at nearly the same time as I and I had even considered a car that he ultimately purchased. Since I enjoyed his posts in the past, I looked to see if he was still on the forum, maybe he bought a new C7?

I was shocked to find he is very active with 20 pages of posts all in the Politics and Religion section!!! So be very wary, the force is strong, don't get sucked in.

Some people like that section, some don't. Just be prepared if you participate in PR&C.

I didn't even know there was a "Politics & Religion" section (until now).

There are people on this forum you think are reasonable people until you get to the PR&C section and find out they're a flaming commie socialist liberals.

I tend not to discuss politics, religion, race, sexual orientation, foreign policy, economics, or Lambo Doors. Makes for a much calmer experience.

I comment on wings, tail light louvers, and tons of other crap people buy. My opinion is freely shared.

During your Presidential run up I spent lots of time in the political forum...was very interesting and insightful. Watched all of the Presidential debates here on tv and then checked the forums for fallout/opinion/abuse/humor. It was all there.

I really enjoy off topic 'random photos' and 'photos you took' as well.

I would say that by far the majority of people posting in either of the OT forums don't even own a corvette. And I say this not because of speculation, but because they freely admit it. I never felt the need to go back to any of the BMW forums after I sold the car. Strange that those folk continue to hang out here.

Too much hate on the dark side. Vettes are for fun.

I had browsed on that section before specially during the election, some scary/crazy talked there . It's amazing that some people still think/act like it in today's day.

Haven't been back !!!

i think a lot of people see politics like a bell curve

most normal folks fall into the 80% and lean left or right

then you have the 10% on either side who are just bat ****

in prc you have the 10% right
