you pegged me perfectly there..I have huge inner issues! Thank you for telling me this, because I knew I had problems, but now I can see the light because someone of your great presence has set me straight! Maybe I should go see a psychiatrist and solve my problems

I guess not reading the thread isn't an option.

My thought exactly. Some are claiming agony, and acting as if someone were holding a gun to their heads to view, subscribe, or participate within this thread. Yet, we all know one's presence is completely voluntary. I think some are not bothered at all - in fact they actually enjoy this type of thing. Just witness their quarrelsome ways.

They not only don't leave, but they participate with lingering trivial content. I think it will be clear just who is and who is not dragging this thing onward. Seems to be an internal thing.

Like I said just earlier, how telling that the people that claim so much distaste for this thread are the very ones that cannot keep from contributing to it with their tactics; like a bunch of rampant dogs pilling onto one to give them the thrill of the pack. Rather clear.

See what I mean? The ones claiming such discontent with the thread cannot seem to be able to figure out a rather simple concept... like merely tuning out to what one does not value. Instead they keep posting all while calling others names while doing exactly what they state others are doing. So incredibly transparent these types are.

If one does not have interest in something - then make your way out.

No one forces another's presence here. If you're here and posting, its strictly because YOU wish to be. Let's call a spade a spade.

That's may goal - to become an MB World Fanatic poster. Is it possible to go beyond MB World Fanatic? Perhaps MB Black Hole?

My wife says that I ask too many difficult questions - I don't feel that way - Am I biased? I don't believe that I am. What do you guys think - Do I ask too many difficult questions? Am I biased?

I have no such interest in post counts. And you have more posts than I do in less than half the time of membership here. I have seen people here with postings into the upper thousands that are relatively new members. (This whole thread posting count actually pales to some others I've seen here.)

My sole interest was balance and fairness. Not post counts. The "value" of my postings has been by-and-large topic related and of substance. Now compare yours. All that puerile (***** size, transvestite, etc.) content ended up (collectively) defining you and your contributions. No real comparison. Talk about off topic attacks.

Satire?

MBWF has something approaching 5000 since 2004. Germancar has quite a lot, too, and that's only in this forum - much more elsewhere.

I'm posting here simply to get another post closer to a higher level of membership.
As has been stated earlier:




But that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep coming back and post. It's fun!

I'm in this one until either 1) the thread is closed or 2) c2jones stops replying.

Until then.......

Well there you have it. Just as I had stated.

Admission is the first step towards recovery.

Does anyone know why eyebrow hairs grow to ridicously long lengths as you age? I've observed some eyebrow hair, and ear hair as well, that had their own zip code. Now I have a theory on this phenomenon - it's to make you feel better as you lose the hair on the top of your head. What do you guys think - Will it make you feel better to wake up one morning to discover a hair or two protruding from your forehead or ear by an inch or two?

I say lets start a poll.

MSL01,

I translate your camouflaged messaged. Sharp. Yep, I think you would definitively make a great edition to my reality program (within the dynamics of this thread alone) and your audition is going quite well.

C6Jeff,

The thread once had its better content. Some strong disagreement, but at least some real substance (before all the trivialities plagued what was left of intelligible discussion). Some unfair attacks against Corvette that I defended to the (bitter) end, literally. I had the stamina and documented counterpoints so I made sure Corvette in general, ZR1 in particular, were defensed against old stereotypes and misconceptions, respectfully. (I saw your other posts looking for more postings. Probably accustomed to CF?)

I'm strongly considering the list for ZR1, though we have an SL on order (for wife) and I'm waiting for the new facelifted CLS. Also GL550 as gift to another.

Good to have another Corvette guy here. Again, this thread was once was better balanced than it is now, but never truly balanced as you might have experienced elsewhere. (The forum overall does have some gems, though.)
