*** Member Issues in the C3 section ***
C3 Moderators and I have been receiving numerous PM's regarding member differences in the C3 section. Clearly the line has been drawn and opinions have been concluded by those involved.
Before elaborating on that point, let me first remind everyone that the Corvette Forum was created as a site where Corvette enthusiasts from all generations can come to share information, organize meetings to get to know one another, offer parts/items for sale, discuss off topic subjects, and most importantly, share our passion for America's only true sports car; the Corvette
With that said, here's one of the rules that was created:
We all need to remember that no one brings perfection, answers to every question, and complete knowledge to the forum, therefore, we need to understand that we must work together, and recognize that we are individuals, and our thoughts and opinions will not always be the same.
While this may sound elementary, unfortunately, it has not always been adhered to.
If you enter a thread and read an opinion or thought that you disagree with, you have three options available:
1) state your opinion,
2) respectfully disagree with another member's advice/input, state your's, and offer why you feel yours is correct. Documented evidence is always welcome in support.
3) leave the thread, take your thoughts with you, and send the thread creator a PM with your information.
What the forum does not condone, and what will jeopardize your posting privileges, is open hostility/name calling towards the members thoughts or opinions whose may be different than yours.
As easy as it may be to get upset or frustrated with another member, especially when two completely opposite views are presented, members must remember that arguing on the forum will not settle the differences. Rather, members are encouraged to agree to disagree with one another.
Offer your thoughts, supporting evidence, and leave it there. The member asking the question can research the presented information to determine who has offered the correct input.
Don't take an opposing opinion as a personal attack on your knowledge, but instead, accept it as another's opinion/thoughts only.
I am confident that our members can abide by the rules, and learn how to co-exist in this section with their thoughts and opinions.
We're here to help each other, not to engage in a behavior that belittles or embarrasses another when proving a point
If members want to discuss this further, I welcome your input via PM.
No open discussion will be permitted

Personal attacks/hostility toward others
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Forum should be a place where we treat one another with civility so that it remains a fun and friendly place to hang around with other Corvette enthusiasts. Hostility to others is rude and inappropriate.
Personal attacks cannot be tolerated. Attack ideas, not fellow Forum members.

I think it's worth bringing this thread to light once again. It's really not that hard, but it seems that a number of people have had a difficult time with the following:
