A Warning and Caution for members of the l*amb*o-Po*we*r Forum Group

Friends,

If you are a member or are considering joining the l*amb*o-Po*we*r.com forum, I think you should be aware of the following.

I am a long-standing owner of various sports cars, including a number of Lambos and Ferraris over the years. I enjoy exchanging info and talking cars, and have used the online forums to exchange mainly technical info on self-diagnosis and repair. As many will attest, I've also made substantial contributions over the last 10 years in this area as well.

The owner of l*amb*o-Po*we*r.com is well-known as a biased enthusiast with ill-manners who frequently posts negative comments and worst about anyone or anything he doesn't agree with. I posted a reply to his comments in this subgroup (which is why I've copied this message here) in which he had needlessly provoked various members here. As a result of this, the owner posted my comments to his site (l*amb*o-Po*we*r.com) and proceeded to make a rather public show of denigrating me personally, etc. Within 2 days, someone had spoofed my account on l*amb*o-Po*we*r.com, sent personal messages under my name, which were subsequentely posted by the owner and other moderators and subjected to additional ridicule.

I wrote the owner on several occasions asking for him to remove these posts and help me track down whomever spoofed my account, and his response was to further post and mock these messages, as did several of his moderators in that forum. At this point, I've given up on having any of that extremely derogatory material removed.

So, ask yourself, do you want to expose yourself to that same risk? Additionaly, I wonder why anyone would want to sponsor that site, including a number of official Lamborghini dealers. Do they even read or follow the antics? The folks that own and run that site are immature at best, and bordering on legal issues more likely. Please take pause and consider if that's the appropriate forum to further your interest in exotic cars.
