Where is Evan?

[Evan]

That's the thing, the person who you were making fun of or whatever was not your friend, he was someone new.

you are 100% wrong Gerald, as I mentioned, I did not make an insult. I made a generic tease on car shows in general

Im floored that you would post the specifics of a private conversation public. To take a private conversation public is without a doubt the biggest bullshit move I have ever seen you pull. For someone who tries to come across as taking the high road you couldnt get any lower. To take my statements out of context just to make me look bad is a whole new level of slime.

And no I did not just delete your post on a 'whim', like somehow I go around deleting posts for no reason.

Then please quote the forum guidelines that outline the post policy? FACT: you didnt like a post, so you deleted it. This I disagree with, and so I left without drama. No big deal, no bitching, not really any hard feelings, just no more forums.
And now you dredge this up, bring private conversation to slander me, and make it personal.

And we don't need to be representing hostility to new people.

for the last motherfucking time, I was not hostile. at all, so get off the bullshit train.

and I stepped up to become a mod again. Maybe we need to have a vote for who should be moderator and who shouldn't if people have a problem with who is a moderator.

how many moderators do we have? 15? for about 25 regular posters? thats retarded.

The MM forums are not the regular car forums that we have all grown accustomed to as part of the car culture. It is a forum based on real life interactions and thus represents those in person relationships in an electronic manner. To assign an authority level without any guidelines or terms is completely unacceptable.

Its interesting that between this, and the great hate, there have been many many problems that have gone from fairly obvious to neon sign in the road, but instead of thinking of ways to solve them, you blame other people.

Why are potential members coming to forums instead of meetings?
If nurturing potential members on the forums is so important, then why isnt there a FAQ section? A introduction section?
why isnt the lounge section locked down until someone goes to a meeting or joins?
You blame me for making a passing joke on carshows as being unwelcoming, yet YOU are the one who isnt willing to put any sort of thought or effort into solving the problems at hand.
