What about people who enjoy everything Corvette and hope to own one eventually?

ok, I really don't have a dog in this hunt, but I will say I like his enthusiasm and his honesty. The forum clearly benefits from his input and he strongly attracts positive involvement from the membership. If he said one thing, and meant another, so be it...he wouldn't be the first....there is no reason to bad mouth him...he is a strong personality, and I think that is great for an open forum.

The success of the forum is built on people's input, right or wrong...pleasant or nasty. Even corvette owner's like a little drama once in a while. I, for one, like having him around, and not just because he is a Torch Red brother.

Yeah the OP should have used different words when asking the question for sure...It would be like me asking." I have a Torch Red C5 and am just wondering why some dumbass loser without a life would ever even think of buying a Pewter one?" Just because someone doesnt own a corvette and is Lurking on the Forum doesnt make him stupid.

Hello James.
Perhaps if you had been clearer, as to what you were trying to say/wanting to know, in THIS first post quoted above (I see you already revised it at least once) you wouldn't have needed/spent 20 posts saying/explaining it later.

Slowly read your above post. Even after your revisions, what does it say or ask? Note the lack of a question mark/s. What was the question?

Then you mention stupid act, never saying what that is.
Were you asking questions or just putting people down?

See what I mean? Some clarity would have helped, in this first post.

Bragging about a GED or salary doesn't add anything to the thread or add any clarity either. Perhaps some extra thought should be applied, BEFORE posting, to save the questioning/misunderstandings.

Also the name calling/attacking adds nothing to your replies, but does detract from the value of your posts. In my opinion, this stuff is far worse than anyone being on here or anywhere without owning a car of choice.

Just something for you to think about, no attack towards you or anyone else for being on here. Best of luck going forward.

Hey, I'm a member of an M3 Forum. Does this make me a "bad person"?

I do own a Corvette though....

I am all over the United States .
Meeting and greeting from all walks of life and its strange
Who you may across or who is linked to who ..
While having lunch with a gentleman a conversation led to corvette which led to the forum . He asked did you know that there were many people on the forum that are just there for the hell of it , I said no I did not know this .
I got back into Moore Ok. Last night and I posted what I thought would have been a great topic after thinking about it all day .
I was not a member of this or any forum before buying my car , and clearly I was wrong ..
To take the verbal abuse as I did was fine but to call me out by " who in the hell do I think I am " King James "
That put the whole mess into another league , so to any oc you that were offended by this thread I will at this Point step up to the plate and offer my apology at this time ..
When a man is challenged or looked down upon like I just was there is a limit guys ...

Much better James, thanks.

Also note this part of your post below and note that perhaps they were responding to you, feeling the same way.
