Why not? I just don't want to associate myself with that demographic (you know, "that demographic" has taken up this much of this section, case in point this thread) as so many great contributers of this forum have disappeared. Doesn't mean I don't enjoy engaging in a circle jerk whenever my boys Pete, Steel and Brau are looking to vent their life's frustrations. It's like a civil service.
Edit:
And believe it or not, yesterday having to pull a 24 work day, lots of driving, lots of moving and lots of having to keep myself alert and unable to doze off, this thread came in handy in keeping me with things to do and reasons to keep my brain somehow spinning.

The funniest part is that on an active forum section guys like me with a contrarian perception to the cars at hand are plentiful and get lost in the shuffle. On the BMW board there are 100's of "me's" expressing unhappiness with how the brand that they do or did share an enthusiasm and passion for is progressing. Don't even start with the Porsche or Vette boards, or pretty much ANY brand that generates passion (i.e passion equals passionate debate from both sides).
However, here, I barely even comment any more, in the grand scheme of things. The difference is, there's nothing going on, so every post I make stands out, gets obsessed about, gets ripped to shreds by those who frustratedly can't answer to my direct criticisms, therefore instead resort to unintelligent, low-brow, "lost the argument" personal insults.
It's not my fault the action is so sparse and there isn't enough positively charged emotion to swallow up my own occasional criticisms here. It's called challenging debate, something that went missing here quite some time ago.

See.
K-A's are prevalent in every forum, I'm like "Mr. Smith". K-A's are necessary, add to what is usually lively discussion which benefits members looking for some E-entertaiment to match information, and also benefits forums themselves as it emphasizes participation.
However, this place is so damn crotchety, clinical, cynical these days, matched with seemingly members who can't find ways to argue merits of their cars instead resorting to insults, that Mr. Smith all of a sudden BECOMES the topic.

There are some other posters with long history with K-A who might have more "right" to not like him based on something in the past but I don't remember any of them posting negative comments like this before he went with the BMW.
I see it as a very high quality in him still to hang around in W212 forum and I have not seen one post from him that would say our cars are really worse than what he currently drives. Of course he has to be explaining his choice that for a lot of it is his opinions.
Facts are that matter and unless you and other "experts" run him off I wait to see K-A report about the issues with the new ride he has, like when it stalled once if I remember correctly, and I welcome him back to Mercedes Benz after he gets enough "treatment" from the Bimmer.

When was the last time you posted something in this forum that actually helped someone with an issue with these cars? You strongly attack K-A but based on the amount of posts you possibly cannot have been reading enough posts he has written to know enough about him. I find it very low from you to do so. Makes me feel you just join some other members for the sake of writing something when you have no real topics to write about.

Indeed, my "Auto Start/Stop" stalled out on me twice now, my rear door popped open (not fully open, like into the "half click" area) on the highway once (presumedly attributed to teething issues when it was brand new.... hopefully), and my HUD display once became all corrupted (turning it off then on fixed it right away), not to mention my entire iDrive rebooted itself once while in traffic (froze then rebooted).
So I appreciate you actually READING into my posts rather than like some others here, knee-jerkedly reacting to my sentiment or current preferences. It's not all peaches and I certainly can say quite a bit of what I like or don't like about anything I drive.

You're winning the race for biggest-troll, hands down. Either you're good enough at it that you realize this and do it for entertainment, or you're completely oblivious.
BTW, starting off every post with "LOL" or "hahaha" or smiley gifs is Internet-code 101 for being totally transparent in how much you're trying to overcompensated-ly hide your innermost frustration.

Wahh. "Loser". "Sheep". You sound like a case study on intolerance and ignorance.
Now you're capitalizing your overcompensating "Haha" variances, damn I must be getting through on something deep there!
I wonder why someone comes on a car forum when none of their posts are in any way helpful or about cars? Is it merely for the sake of entertainment? Car forums are entertaining to me too but they're also very educational and interesting if you actually productively and constructively participate in them. Try it.

I remember when this forum was about the E-Class. When we could all get together and b*tch about the E-Class together. Whether it was MB-Tex Vs. Corinthian leather, or the placement of the cruise control, the numerous folks that cant seem to keep bakes on the E550s, the slow shifts of the 7G, the lack of guidance lines in the backup camera view, rattles, squeaks, creaks, and whether or not the HOLD function is any good. For a group of folks that have gotten a lot of the good stuff the world has to offer, there sure is a lot of complaining going on. It is just a car after all. If you like yours, get another, if not, get something else. Sheeeeesh.

Aside from your 200 or so disgruntled-ly envious (or jealous? zealous?) posts of stalking me, what have you contributed to here?

That Motor Trend article on "Best Driver's Car" has created 66 posts and very few on the said article. Go figure....how we amuse ourselves.
I started this one and I think it's time to wind it up.

Well, thanks to all of you I'm certainly having fun! Being a newbie to this Forum has been great. I have learned a LOT about my E550 from you trailblazers. I've already added some mods, had parts replaced for free by MB, exchanged items with other members, and this forum makes for a good read.

Next time try not to make a thread about an internet troll and it may be possible to get a constructive discussion.

Yeah...y'all shouldn't be put off. It's really only been one person that draws so much ire and it hasn't even been that bad. This place can be slow, but it's still the best place for W212'ers.
