So much for free speach Yeah, I noticed that to today. I wander who the loud squeeky wheel was that got it deleted. It really sucks to, that is where I was getting my Political Up Dates from. I can only assume that Obama's hinch men found Robert and threatened Him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of GT Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Never use a shotgun to do a job that is best left to a rifle No arguement, but sometimes surgury doesn't always fix the illness. You can't deny that some of the posts were quite rude and over the line no matter what side you're on. At least you and some others would post in the other forums. Others just stopped doing that and 99% of the time would only post in that one forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffIsHereToo Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Since I've been weening my way off it the last month I won't miss it at all! Now we can go back to focusing on the things (cars) that bring us together rather than the things that at times get in the way of the friendships we've created though our shared passion. :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobrafan Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 This really is quite disturbing. It smacks of how we have evolved as a society where 57% of the country belive in something but a few elites in power know what is best for us. I have ebbed to a new site. I love this one, but walking on egg shells is not my forte. I would hope the powers to be would reconsider and reprimand those who abused the rules. We are not only a car forum, we are a community, and as such, we will have different opinions on what is happing in the world. Not being able to talk and disagree with my neighbor seems fundamentally wrong. My 2 cents and I'm moving on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srk1959 Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 Ok, I will help the transition from the political to the cars. Once my new engine is finished should I go with the KB 3.6 or the 4.whatever or the Whipple 4.0? I know it's off topic for the thread but just trying to help getting used to it! And getting used to the new site as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of GT Posted December 23, 2009 Report Share Posted December 23, 2009 I certainly can do that. Not sure I will get an answer. Well, I specifically DO NOT know if this was the catalyst for shutting down the political banter forums, but for those of you who may have missed it, Amy saw and then closed the "Picture of the year" forum that was posted in the political banter forums earler today. As I stated, I don't know for certain, but that MAY have been the straw that broke the camels back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What qualifies? And I have sent an email to see what is said by the site owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

svttim Posted December 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have received an answer. There have been many complaints in just this day. Unfortunately, lines were crossed and, those who dont like the thread ventured in. As a corperation, Image is always important. And it was felt that some of the post do not represent the best of Team Shelby and SAI. At this point, my point of view has changed and I support the move.
