Angry MercedesShop is an automotive website

I'm getting pretty fed up with many of the recent posts I've seen in OD lately where some minority, religion, country, whatever is put down just to get people upset. I deleted several threads today that were totally inappropriate. Usually, I don't waste my time even reading this trash but today I did.

If you want to be a troll, please leave. You are NOT WELCOME HERE!
We don't need you here and we don't care what you think.


First and foremost, MercedesShop is an automotive website. Yes, we have an Open Discussion forum to discuss things other than Mercedes-Benz automobiles. That does not mean you can throw manners and courtesy out the window and offend anyone you wish.

Do I make myself clear on this?

Thanks! I used to really enjoy OD.

A topic on painting a fence one day, rental property another day, and an ocasional political thread was even ok.

Post more pretty girls!

Good deal. Politics gets old - They're recycled arguements and typically get nasty. I gave up discussing after the war...

More cars and women.

The politics do tend to get repititious. We should number our responses and save time. For example, we never shoulda invaded Iraq in the first place might be old #13....etc.

The ones which bash racial or ethinic groups particularly don't contribute anything constructive.

Thanks, web....ster.
