Hey Einstein...You started a thread about the C6 in the C5 section.

You can have your opinion and express it, just do it in the right place.

just looked at the thread...that topic has been beat to death, that is why it was locked.

No Einstein, he was comparing it to the C5, it was perfectly applicable to C5 Gen. It was closed because it's a beaten issue, many threads have been posted about the comparison over and over, so Grumpy closed it.

Actually, nobody here has any rights. This forum simply has rules that enforced by the mods. The site is paid for by the supporting vendors which makes it free for us users.

Even if you are mad, there is no call for that kind of language here. It's a good way to get banned.

You have no such "right" here. This is not a democracy...this is a Grumpocracy. This is your free lesson in CFOT Constitutional law.

Enjoy your "vacation" at banned camp. Calling out the moderators and telling them off in an open thread is a quick way to say Hasta la vista, baby.

read the edit to my post...I went back and read the thread.

My point is that the C6 has been out for 3 years now, the comparisons have been beat to death.

Don't worry, I'm not offended, but hearing about innocent threads like yours getting closed down while babys in the FI section get into pissing matches for 3 pages long without reprecussion does offend me.

Well said Randy.

I think YOU need to take a look at this thread posted in the RULES section of the forum.

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1049449

Sharing your opinion is always valuable, but the C5 v C6 subject is so beat...

Not sure who to side with on that one...so I won't.

As far as this thread...calling Grumpy in an open forum is WRONG no matter what your opinion is. Grumpy is an awesome Moderator here and many members will be offended by your post.

Thanks, I was just mad because it was closed for no known reason to me...
Everytime some one drives a vette, they have another opinion and I was just giving mine. This is a c5 forum, and many of us have traded for c6's. I was just giving my first hand opinion of what i thought about the C6 compaired to the c5. did not mean to cause such a hurricane.....

Don't get too worked up over it, but you may want to edit that first post.

Having a thread locked or a post deleted is a rite of passage.
