Maybe, I should put out a call for my 4.9 posse to get some ++'s to offset the SBC mobs ---'s

Go Fiqure.



Now that's the funniest thing I've read all day !

Theres a 4.9 posse? Why am I picturing "revenge of the nerds"?

Sorry I tried soooooo hard to stay out of this thread. This thread called to me.....post on me....post on me...

Why the hell do i have so much negative? I only name-call when someone says something dumb. You can call me names if you want. The lack of dry sense of humor on here is only appreciated by the flood of PMs from my fanclub.

And those who PM me for tech info / advice and then "try" and slam me on the forum is appreciated too.

Now let's be fair to the 4.9 guys.

I know a few. They are my friends, and no, they aren't in a posse, and no, they don't go ditzing SBC guys. Both the SBC and 4.9 guys I know are gentlemen (and at least one lady)

Cliff's words were true.

Hmm..... maybe I should rate Cliff. After all, I've rated some 4.9 guys and and more than one SBC guy, so why not the moderator? He deserves a Positive in my view.

If you could delete a flamers post in your thread that doesn't do anything for the continuity, direction and spirit of the thread then it would certainly make the forum even that much better.This would however probably render the rating system almost useless then which is probably why Cliff is apparently so against it.


So anything you didn't like in "your" thread, you'd get rid of? Wouldn't that quickly get out of hand? Anybody that disagrees with you or questions something you say would be deleted? Yeah, that's a forum worth reading .

It has helped a lot as we have also seen to help clear out the truly bad seeds, but like anything that has some advantages, it will also have some disadvantages as wehave seen by some who know how to work the system. They can hit and run and usually not suffer much red at all. Obviously nothing is perfect.

Or delete a person's opinion you(this is the metaphoric you...not you in particular) disagree with, or delete someone that is calling you out for lying, cheating, stealing, being a bad person to buy from or any of the other 10,000 times when we can't always be "happy, cheery lovey, dovey Fiero owners" but have to get a touch mad. Yeah, thread moderators would be great. No more fights, or disagreements and at that point you might as well call it Fiero weblogs because the only thing you would read on the forum would be ass-kissing.

"Your possee" are you on crack? Most of the 4.9 guys couldn't care less weather your here or not.
This place is becoming more of a joke everyday. Way too many people around here or high on themselves.
When you guys are all done arguing remember that you are fighting over a 20 year old car that most of the world thinks is a piece of crap.
Get some perspective would ya.
