    Who killed my friend Al? Which one of you checked with him for details if it was 162 or 62? Did the moderator do that? No! You all went on and on and on about the presumed facts like a bunch of wild old women from Mayberry. When I finally logged on and saw the thread and it's contents and how the rest of you went on and on about this subject, I had to laugh. Then I find out he was "expelled" from the site for a couple days because some guy had his feathers ruffled. You can't take everything so seriousily on this site. I think it was the cop from southern Maryland that had quoted in the past he wouldn't give anyone a ticket not having a front plate that is trying to screw Al. Are you the pot calling the kettle black?
    How would your supervisor like to see that thread? You don't need a college education to know when someone might be pulling your leg and having some fun. I'm amazed about how you got consumed by this thread. Take a break and read the history books about communism and how people back in the 50s did what you are doing now, pre-judging and going with what you think is right. My wife, who is Jewish, said after reading your responses and call for Al's expulsion, that you reminded her of the beginning of the rise to power Nazis that killed her grand parents. Give it a break and apologise to Al for your stupidity. You who criticize should be ashamed! May God forgive you for your acts!

    Ok, enough.

    Which one of the stupid references here do you want to get called on?

    Hmmm... There's the college education dig, the holocaust reference, maybe "May God forgive you" or last but certainly not least the Nazi mention.

    Your friend Al got a 24 hour time out for being a troll. Looks to me like you want the same thing for you. Trolling is a bannable offense, and this post qualifies without hesitation.

    We don't take anything seriously here, but this post is just BS, go fish somewhere else.

    End of discussion.

    Well, my favorite roll is Kaiser, but sesame seed and crescent are ok too. Is that what you wanted to know? Or are we roll playing now?

    To quote my hero Popeye, "I am what I am and that's all that I am."

    I'm a hybrid here. I'm a sponsor, and oops... I'm a moderator. I'm also local to the Mid Atlantic region and hang with lots of the guys here. I'm usually considered the voice of reason in this otherwise topsy turvy FerrariChat world. (Although some in the NYTS region might disagree with me on that one.)

    And, I'm not a bad dancer, either.

    Thanks for your reply. I just wonder who is in charge at times and how you get to be part of that offical level. Obviously your qualifications are well beyond mine. It just seems the rules apply differently to different people. Is there a history of other regions and how they apply such sactions? Your response was quite childish, and I can accept that. My response comes from my years of life and understanding of freedoms that have been abused in this country, and others, over the years. Maybe I need to seek a more logical and reasonable response from the person that controls this site. Is that who you keep referring to at the end of your messages? Hope you have a blessed day.

    Get over yourself. You and Al pulled a prank and got your hand slapped when no one found it funny. Now you want to make a constitutional case out of it. Guess what, this is a private site and the rules will be applied at the discretion of the moderators. Don't like it, you have the "freedom" to go elsewhere.

    This is a private Ferrari Owners website...

    You seem to have confused it with portions of the USA where the Constituion and Bill of Rights was observed.....prior to 9/11 anyway......:rolleyes:

    The main rule here is "Mind your manners"........

    Wanna talk CARS!!????

    Why yes, Gidney is in charge here. He's the little green man in my avatar who doesn't have the scrootch gun. Cloyd is the guy with the scrootch gun.

    Actually, if you're unhappy with my responses I'd suggest you look at how you started this thread and the tone that you set.

    If you'd like to complain about me or anything else here, you can contact Rob Lay, he's the boss, founded the site, and is a very understanding and reasonable guy. His email is: [email protected], or "Rob Lay" if you want to send him a PM instead of an email. Oh, and moderators don't get paid here, so he's more of a Boy Scout Troop leader than a boss in the traditional sense.

    As to my background, I've been a member here a good while, 5 years maybe. I'm the one who got Rob to make this Mid-Atlantic Region up out of a couple other regions, as we didn't seem to fit with the NYTS guys, and the folks farther to the south were a tad too far for us to get together with. I'm a 50+ year old guy with a '72 Dino 246GT that I drive regularly and have won some platinums at concours with. I also count many of the Mid-Atlantic guys here as my friends, and hope they do the same. I run a manufacturing company and dabble in real estate. Enough info yet, or would you like more?

    I try not to get unreasonable in my posts, and work hard to maintain my civil tone at all times on here.

    May you also have a blessed day.

    Why should we check and see if the facts were correct??? And why would Robbie have any desire to get anyone banned??? If you or anyone else is going to post a stupid thread like that then you should be prepaired for the consequences.

    Ah, the sound of hobnailed boots. I think this is just like communism in the 50's. Fact is, some of those folks were commies. And, atomic secrets did get passed. Leni R. was a Nazi Sympathizer. And, I checked with my dog, who is Flemish, and he said that you should have a sense of humor about being banned. Get real. Who is your supervisor?

    C'mon fellas, lighten up. Dave's entitled to post whatever he wants, as long as it's within the rules. :D

    After all, that's pretty much what we do here, when we're not organizing charity events, or helping a buddy with a problem, or laughing at wetpet's little Luigi car, or drooling over Joe's new 430, or organizing a day of fun at Jon's garage, all of which went to a good cause.

    But, I think with this thread we're not being open and friendly, and that's something I always push for, so I'll restart this entire conversation with this:

    "Dave Born. I'm sorry if any of our past behaviors, here or elsewhere, have upset you. I would like to extend an invitation on the part of all of the Mid-Atlantic region to bury whatever hatchets may be in our collective past, and any old grudges that anyone here may hold, and welcome you again.

    We really are a good bunch of guys and gals who like to talk cars, bust on each other a little bit, and generally support one another in whatever we may be trying to do. If that sounds like the kind of Ferrari enthusiasts you'd like to be around, then climb on board. If on the other hand, we're too loosey goosey, or touchy feely, then I truly am sorry that we make you uncomfortable.

    This is a great group, one that I'm proud to be associated with.

    Dave M"

    Nope.

    Just trying to see if we can lure him from the dark side. It appears, although I have no specific evidence, that there is some "history" at play here. There's always the possiblility that Dave simply doesn't understand us, or needs an opportunity to get past his old differences and get on with life.

    Or there is the possibility that he's a troll, and that no amount of fence mending will work with him. Either way, this thread should sort that out.

    I find it comical that adults are the ones being the ass' around here...Dave is only doing his "job" (as he said, unpaid) and lets a good deal slide...but after skimming that thread, Im not surprised he shut it down at all...typos or no typos...
