Default Elevated tempers?

Has anyone else noticed that fuses are a tad short around here lately?? (C 6 forum)

Nobody's perfect ( especially myself) - but I have noticed folks getting testier( not talking about the obvious fun jabs) quicker, is it the summer heat or is it just me / my imagination??

I believe it’s the heat . Coming from the BMW forum (a bunch of snobs ) I was elated with the Vette forum members. Here it doesn't matter if you drive a 1LT or a 4LT, Z06 or the base model its a Vette. I love you guys.

don't agree at all. some of the posts and threads deserve far more but get only a mild form of "testy" responses.

Economic times are tough, and it has taken it's toll on many, including Corvette owners who suddenly find themselves overextended, or who realize the model they bought wasn't perhaps the best choice, so they are somewhat insecure and looking for reinforcement, and get rather testy when they don't get the responses they want.

Some of them deserve the flames.....

I've got to believe that some of the worst threads are started by lurkers with a mind to irritate Vette fans.

This is not PR&C.

It's also not C6 related.
