    You are so right, and fully support you, but when miurasv returns, if he does, will you do same when he insults his peers?

    TTR does not have a site ban, he is still around here. He has a thread ban of 3 months. Trolling is the perfect description. I have put him, VanGool and Swift53 on the ignore. No need to read these troll posts imho.

    We're cognizant of TTR's behavior also, and he was sanctioned in this recent incident with a 3 month thread ban for his part. The disparity in ban terms and types has to do with the prior moderation history of each. TTR is still on page 1 of his log, miurasv is now on page 13. We escalate sanctions in proportion to the number of prior incidents, as you well know.

    Dude has a thin skin. Frankly, I understand why. Glickenhaus at one point threatened to sue me. That tends to change your perception. My two cents is this thread should be locked. If someone comes up with new objective information, it can always be opened.

    I have never understood the motivation to troll FerrariChat car threads, I thought that was what the politics and religion threads on every forum were for?;)

    Rob said he will leave it open as it is likely the most complete history and discussion of the car in existence. Every once in a while something interesting is posted but seems odd for folks especially mods to dredge the stupid stuff back up. I enjoy the pictures of the old frames and bodies. Its amazing how fragile and poorly designed they are compared to modern standards.

    Personally, I agree, but anything new (difficult), ought to be posted with a purpose, and saving snide or undue remarks to be sent via PM only.

    I think enough slinging has been seen. I am done with this parrying, and if you care to post personal offensive comments / corrections / spanking, etc.
    please send them to me, and kindly do not make them public.

    In that case, I hold the right to reply or not.

    Regards, Alberto

    Excuse me for being a cynic. But volume of posts increases advertising revenue. No reason to close down an ever giving thread even when if it is long past its sell by date. Just look at how many posts just for Steve's ban.

    PLEAZE, luckily 99.9% of our revenue is not tied to traffic, so that's not a consideration. Maybe you should make an argument the cost of the moderators time makes it not worth it. We're not going to shut down half the threads on FerrariChat just for the sake of making our lives easier though.

    If 99.9 percent of income to F-Chat isn't generated from "traffic" then what is 99.9 percent of your revenue is generated from?

    Please share.

    Sponsors, Subscribers, and Emails are fixed rates and consistent don't vary +/- 5% even if traffic fluctuates. 99% of websites and YouTube etc get most of their revenue from actual traffic. If they have 50% traffic they will get about 50% of the revenue. We do have about 1-3% of our revenue tied to traffic like that.

    Why don't you leave just go hang out with JG's fanboys? You did correctly claim the "trolling" title for yourself.

    So I know this is not an original, but ****, it looks ten times better than 0858.

    It's on par w 0856 and 0860 as far as beauty is concerned. My 2 liras worth.

    Actually, it's YOU trying so hard... along with a (dwindling) few others.

    I'm surprised you showed up, but not surprised by the continuing lack of, well, anything.

    What do you have to offer other than being a troll...? Serious question. It's taken you weeks to show up after having been called out with the other trolls. I guess you don't check your burner accounts much these days.

    Trolling AKA asking questions the "experts" don't have an answer for....

    If you want an actual definition for what a troll/trolling is, lets hear from the gang over at Wikipedia....

    "Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a forum, so slug it out somewhere else, not here! This has been going on for years, so it's time for it to stop. Thomas.W talk 12:09, 15 July 2016 (UTC). Since neither of the parties is willing to stop, and IPs that obviously represent the other party in the dispute have repeatedly tried to remove the post below, I'm striking my own comment."

    " I have never seen such a long winded discussion over nothing as this issue on wiki. On both the talk page and article. I move we give the whole issue its own article and sever any links to it whatsoever. Batvette (talk) 21:32, 2 May 2016 (UTC)"

    Man, sounds like the kind of incessant trolling behavior that would get an actual troll banned from a public forum, eh?

    I get it Airhead, the "experts" lash out and resort to calling anyone a troll that asks a question that doesn't conveniently fit their narrative, and you are one of those bullies.

    I also get that you want a one sided discussion and you will lash out at anyone that threatens your status quo.

    And my answer to that, is.... I could care less, see ya soon as I look forward to further discussion AKA insults from you.

    Your posting the Glikenhaus pit photo really summarizes the consternation in this thread. There are those who fully appreciate (in part or whole) Jim’s Motorsport efforts, his *other* cars, and even his friendship or personality. Still they’re able to separate all of those things from the DP003/0846 replica story. There are also those who cannot.
