If you think this koolaid stand is bad just wait until the new wears off your little stingray and you venture over into off topic.. You'll need 9 lives or really thick skin, I think thick skin and a sense of humor is the best way to enjoy this forum

I know that most Corvette owners must be good people, but the sheer volume of negative or immature posts on this forum is not representative of that population.

I really wish there were moderators who would kick the "usual suspects" out of the forums- we all know who they are- and unfortunately they often seem to have the most posts, and the most gold stars next to their avatars.

Love my C7, and wish I could interact more with the good guys here, and somehow block all posts by the jerks. Wouldn't it be great if we never had to see another post by INSERT NAME HERE?

Godspeed,

Why some people or most dont fully agree with this is beyond me. Other forums are not like this, this is an embarrassment. Finally someone steps up and most of the responses are negative or making excuses. If you dont understand maybe youre part of the problem.

Is this what we should expect at Corvette gathering. Do most Corvette owners act this way? Its more than a few bad apples here.

When you buy certain cars a drive on their test track is mandatory, Ferrari is one. GM may need a mandatory behavior class or how to properly interact with fellow car enthusiasts.

And, the different opinions are fun! Most Vette owners seem to be Conservative, but the libs are very vocal!! Everybody has their opinion and have their right to voice it!!
I must disagree. While I think that the denigration of our nation's President in this fashion is absolutely horrible (seriously, who would want that job?) that isn't the problem in my mind. He also isn't attacked for his message - generally, he is accurate, factual, and provides useful information. IN MY OPINION - it's the tone - which is generally condescending. No one deserves that on a perpetual basis. Seems like everyone wants to "get real" tonight and that's how I see it. If you feel the need please add me to your ignore list.

An ignore list would contain way too many members maybe we can go with a Non ignore list.

Anybody else think it's ironic to start a bitch thread about bitching?

I didn't read all the posts, but enough to get a general idea of the trend. Just as a point of reference, as you can see, I joined back in 2004. Up till the C7 forums became active, I never had anyone on my ignore list. As of tonight, there are 7 folks on my ignore list and every one of them came because of posts they made here, in C7 general.

So the thread, though not directly related to C7's, has a valid subject matter that ultimately attends to the C7 general forum.
