I guess that's why this forum is called "C6 General." If it's a thread about GM, that's not C6, is it?

Wow! An real eye-opener! All these years I thought GM made the C6. So, who is it, Hyundai? I feel so foolish.

I like this forum but, its not "home" enough. You cant really be yourself without offending someone. Which I personally think thats what wrong with America now you have to be careful not to offend someone which I think is BS. If you get all butt hurt over an internet forum you shouldn't be on one

From what I've seem, the threads you're referring to get moved if they're off-topic and they get closed if they're duplicates, exactly as they should be. What's the problem?

Well, if you "want to be yourself" and flame people, and generally contribute to what most other forums degenerate to....then....

This is a great place to post, where even criticism is usually muted and professional without getting personal --- again -- not like other forums where people spew all over the place just because of the anonymity allowed by the internet. People do and say things on the 'net that they would never do to someone's face -- I think that is the standard that the mods try to apply here.....don't say what you would not say to a real person in real life.

Partly because of placement and partly because of the fact that threads like that usually degrade into name calling and generally valueless argument. In before the lock.....
