oddly, they allowed the spectacles of Chas and Doug for years unimpeded......but not any commentary toward them results in demerits or banning.
When you have been there 20 years, and have made many contributions and provided assistance to all who has asked, it is BULLSHIT to be labelled 'hostile' and then booted.

The mods are power drunk, the site would work much better with less mods, and much less mod interaction.
The members are men, are adults, and have been on the site for decades, they can be trusted to behave in a acceptable manner 99,999999999999999% of the time.

It would seem a far better solution is to lock people out of OT and P&R, and let the information regarding the cars continue.

Not I, cannot recall seeing many post today other than Grumpy.

The millenium mod posts on occasion, and seems his only aim to aid the leftists in PRC.

I subscribe to something I learned many years ago, NEVER stay in anything that has more rules than benefits.

Let boys be boys. So what if a couple of guys call each other assholes. So what if I call a lib a ****ing moron. Who is it hurting?

I was watching an "everybody loves raymond" rerun and Frank (Rays dad) told someone to "go suck a rope"
He often said that kind of chit.
And that's network mainstream TV.

But God forbid a couple of guys disagree on an internet forum.

It’s true. Years ago. Moderators we not permitted to speak in the forums or some kind of limitations were set. It all changed, that was a huge mistake!

Not at CF.
Probably close to 20 years ago a moderator invited me to Florida to kick my ass.

I made a comment in C5Gen that apparently hit too close to home.

most of the banter (which can be slightly off color) comes from guys who either played sports when folks could win or lose, or who worked male dominated jobs. In both cases, horseplay is commonplace and understood as what it is. It wasnt until the "everyone wins" generation came along did people get so finicky. As they tie scorers came into big construction, rules such as "no animosity between the trades" started. I.E., no more ball busting. disgusting.

I caught my ban on the C1-C2 tech forums, not on the OT and PR areas.
I've seen mods post on forums as members and then get upset and pull the moderator card and slap a ban. Totally foul play, IMO.

Exactly. I know over there, whose politics I despise, BUT in a non-political thread, I am very capable of being in total agreement with a vehicle repair, a color preference, a product design etc. They are a political fuktard, but not a bad person by default. Let me call them a mindless fuktard in the political ring and then go have a virtual beer elsewhere.

Somebody has to remember….I’m not making this up. Mods did not for whatever reason it was, have the permission or allowance to contribute equally. To moderate yes but not post like the average Joe….

I’ll ask over there?
