Default More CF banning..

So, Tom Parsons, DZAuto on the forum, just emailed me that he got banned camp yesterday. Those that know Tom understand that he is the foremost expert on C1 front ends, rear differentials, early fuel injection, and the list just goes on and on.

He is a icon on the C1/C2 forum over there and I guess he's been a member 20 years maybe..

Like many, he's not even sure what was so egregious that they shut him down. Its a huge loss to members struggling with C1 issues across the board. But, hey, if the mods get to spank somebody that's all that really matters I guess.

Tom is like many of us, a crusty old guy that does not suffer fools lightly nor take any crap from anyone - pretty much a hallmark of older Corvette owners.

So I guess, if you're not a beta male you're not welcome over there..

Tell him to come join us, and then all the other C1/C2 members from there will come here. Screw CF.

Ah, well there you have it. Over there, if you are not a member of the "woke" brigade, you had better tread lightly. Apparently, Internet Brands has not yet come to the realization that the woke, DEI mindset is starting to crumble. And how could it not? I foresaw this from the beginning of it. Just how long can you maintain a cult that is so deeply rooted in unreality? Men can be women. Women can be men. Men can get pregnant. Men have periods too. I mean, seriously. Just how long can you convince people to believe things that, deep down, they know just aren't true. Their entire cult is based upon lies. Which is probably why they so desperately trying to shut down dissenting opinions.

One of the by products of abandoning truth, is the dilution of expertise.........that site is losing valuable valuable knowledge left and right. It is the PRIME objective of that forum, knowledge sharing; that is the REASON why nearly every member goes there in the first place, all the other BS is just that BS.........when they lose their way, and fail on their #1 purpose, they may just crumble and go the way side.............Hey IB you are not too big to fail..........keep it up it might just happen. Once another site rivals their knowledge base, and expertise on all things Corvette, they are finished.

and I say good riddance.

This site CAN do just that, but we need more content and OT might have to be a "by request" section to attract more attention.

Hell, I'm going to post an old document I found in my files about how to build a subwoofer box for a C5 that mounts in the trunk storage compartment. I still get email about that from people at the other place.

This whole paragraph ought to be a sticky. What an absolute GEM. Thanks, Tiki. Tom is also the absolute guru on Muncie and Borg Warner transmissions and on early Fuel injection. I've met him personally and he is a gentleman of true class and character.

Yep. Likes single action Colt .45's. Restores WW2 warplanes. Has a full shop full of vintage 1950's equipment and '50's -'70's hot rods, all in perfect working order. Uses rotary Bakelite telephones. Knows how to weld. Totally toxic sob.
