    You need to slow up and read the TOS here.

    At CERTAIN levels sponsorship firms are ALLOWED to do what is bothering you, have a link in their sig line, post threads offering products etc.

    I am not privy to EXACTLY what Napolis did, to achieve that option.

    If you would only take the time to read the threads he has 'built" here,

    Vintage section: 0846, oo2
    Supercar Section: P4/5
    Racing Section: P4/5C
    Other Cars: Megs 57

    ....you would see that a link in his sig line is "no big deal" in exchange for all he has shared with our community. He makes some nice parties.

    I have enjoyed sharing a table with him, myself.
    He's an Old School guy, puts his pants on one leg at a time (I'm assuming!)
    But if he told me he jumped in both legs at a time, I'd take it as gospel....

    A bunch of us have been here years, DECADES in fact....we don't need a profile to "know" who is talking.

    You are advocating "blank profiles" in a thread complaining about "blank profiles"...

    You're "on the wrong side of history"!!! :D :D :D

    This is a pretty forgiving chat site though, if you want to walk out the door, and come in again, they will let you....

    Your comment is RETARDED!!!....Don't judge people by YOUR perceived standards of information divulgence. It's a "personal choice", obviously by your immature & myopic comment you don't believe in personal freedom or choice.....Don't you have a convict to visit?......Mark

    In a lot of ways of course, I'm "pot" calling "kettle black", on the subject of Profile Info.

    My profile isn't very descriptive I'll admit, you would have to read all of my 40K+ posts here over the years, to know I have three Ferraris, and live under a bridge...:D :D

    But the picture with the 308GTB and Mario is 'real".

    The dead supermodel in my avatar is "real", and she's still dead.
    Tragic road accident in a Lamborghini, ...

    OTOH, if you put the right words into Google I am not hard to find.
    That's my ex wife in that house, tho......

    This is also true.

    It's a free world (still today) and it certainly "ok" NOT to share.

    there ARE 'all kinds'!!

    I dont understand your comments .

    You are advocating "blank profiles" in a thread complaining about "blank profiles"...

    Im not complaining about blank profiles.



    You're "on the wrong side of history"!!!


    What history?

    This is a pretty forgiving chat site though

    Forgiving? I did nothing wrong !

    You right. You got us. Napolis is just your typical internet faker. His profile is blank because he doesn't even have a car. And yes, that web site he faked up is pretty silly, with all that Wall Street talk. We just put up with him around here for comic relief.

    I read that you were offended, by the "commercial links" contained with certain members posts here.

    I was trying to explain how they came to be there.

    Sorry, if I read too much into all that.

    You seemed to single out Napolis, and I'll admit he is a VERY singular case here.
    To my knowledge he is not a sponsor, yet has extensive 'honorary' priviledges.

    Never mind, it's Happy Hour!

    There's tons of pretty well known public figures that participate behind blank profiles, understandable....I don't have an office phone, nor one at home for that matter, so I'm not much worried about being bothered.

    You have to learn to slow down and read what has been said before making a comment such as this.

    "You right. You got us. Napolis is just your typical internet faker. His profile is blank because he doesn't even have a car. And yes, that web site he faked up is pretty silly, with all that Wall Street talk. We just put up with him around here for comic relief. "

    I posted that I did not like links such as Napolis! His link has no relation to the forum or ferraris. Its was not directed to him just the nature of links that are floating around here.

    Is that a form of soliciting yes. Its not why I come on this forum. The internet faker comment should be directed at the moderator if you can re read the email he had sent me in private that I posted for everyone to see. He assumed the other link that napolis had pasted.

    Why this moderator was in such a panic to write me ? Did he think he was going to lose him "Napolis" as a sponser?

    Was I too back down and go on my knees for forgiveness to who this person is from the moderators statements?

    Should I refrain from further comments or dislikes on this forum because of a members status.

    Has owning a Ferrari show status as well?

    Or do we still love the car for what it is?

    Oh, BTW, it is considered Very Bad Form to post a PM in an open forum.

    Moderator ruling please! If I told embauto that he is acting like a total doosh, would I get banned? Thanks

    Hey, Trashy - I've been waiting for the most opportune time to ask - Would Kitty Fishsticks like to drive the car in my avatar?
