This forum is good for keeping the car forums about cars. So what if it doesn't attract armchair political campaigns?
I go over on occaision to stir up the pot.......They need the ocaisonal Conservative comments to let them know their minority viewpoint isn'nt shared by all.

I went to Benzworld ONE time and I read ONE thread about how the people here suck. If you have nothing better to do than to sit around and write things about people by name who aren't even going to read them then that's just sad

You can piss up a rope.

Plenty of little trolls over here too. Well, that's my opinion... like it or not! Surprised I haven't been BANNED for it. Lets talk about rice or the weather now and move on.

I think the fact that you weren't banned for this thread speaks volumes for this forum.

Personally, I kind of like it the way it is....

This thread should be deleted for sure!

This is like inviting someone over to your house to play cards and having to listen to them complain about the beverages and snacks.

Stay home!

Paul - pm me - I have a 1988 420sel that broke it's guides at about 40k. Benz rebuilt the entire engine and converted it to the newer style (dual row). I may be interested in selling...

I think Plantman said it best above with a nice touch of humor.

I think Gilly's doing a great job keeping this place.

Thanks for all the kind words. Those with unkind words, you can have your opinions and express them here, I been called alot worse by alot bigger guys than YOU. I don't care this thread exists, if you wanna go over there and check it out, be my guest. I do. No doubt a few I have banned have probably come back, I don't bother checking. I just look at what's going on at the moment, that's all that matters.

as much as i may not understand or like some of the decisions made by Gilly, this forum is volumes better than the other one...and its just an open discussion forum, nothing more than that...not something to get your panties in a bunch about...i dont envy the job you have, Gilly...i wouldnt want to hear incessant whining all day long about who is offended by what....id say all in all, you do a good job of keeping this place nice...even striking my tasteless story off the record

Viewing Benzworld made me realize how much I missed NOT being a part of Mercedesshop. That's all I have to say about that.
