MRS. Xtreme asked my affiliation to Corvette Forum

Ok. I thought member was sufficient? It read more like a
BIO to me.

Just as you said you have never warmed up to TBV, I have never warmed up to here.

As mentioned then, why continue to come back? If I don't feel comfortable, I generally don't go back. I sure as heck don't go into some place that's uncomfortable and start defending anything.
There are a few sites that I visit that I don't get "warm fuzzies" from either. I seldom frequent them except when I'm bored or looking for information I can't find elsewhere.
FWIW, after things went downhill (IMO) after the IB buyout, CF felt that way to me
The "family & friends" feeling went away and it was just another website to gather information. Hell, I didn't even post for about a month, just lurked and read.

I agree, however, he did so to present facts in a matter at question. In those cases, I don't have a problem with them. Heck, in a civil suit they can be subpoenaed. The moral is: Don't send anything by PM or E-Mail that you don't want read

I'm the cooler (not sure you'd know what I mean
Seriously. Can't handle a little criticism? Difficult to understand?
The statement is simple and simply stated.
Friends don't treat Friends the way some have been treated!
If you're implying that I've treated anyone the way some of these folks have been treated, then you're mistaken.
And the term "friend" is not one I use loosely. Aquaintences are quite another thing.
I've never banned anyone, friend or otherwise, here or elsewhere, without first giving them a chance to correct thier actions and without giving them sufficient warning.
Even the Porn and spammers get a reason and a message from me

Unfortunately, most people are creatures of habit.
We tend to go the same way to work and home, drink the same drinks, eat the same foods, etc etc etc. It's a study in human nature.
That said, we tend to gravitate to places where we've been before.
In this case, we tend to visit the same forums.

So is it “cut off at the knees” if some outside source (someone) does not allow you to be a creature of habit?

You want to formulate a question in response to my quote that actually makes sense? Are we talking extraterrestrials? God? UFO's?
(BTW-I think you knwo darned well what I meant. Nice try
)

I've seen cases where, although the "rules" state you can give "props" to a non-supporting vendor, the threads have been locked or deleted when such activity has occurred "quoting "non-supporting vendor" ?

If you want to know anout this ask Greg, and if he wants to explain it to you then fine.

I have no need to "ask Greg" anything, nor do I feel the need to drag Greg into your mess. FWIW, I've the above stated matter with my own 2 eyes, thank you.
