OT-CAlexio ban
#46
Burning Brakes
I am so bored of political commentary, which has invaded pretty much everything, everywhere...
But...
But...
The nakedness of a bobble head?? Not getting it. I hope fun is not being banned, because that's part of the reason I come here.
CAlexio is an example of thoughtfulness and elegance in a place where sniping and ego-feeding is all too prevalent.
Not to get too philosophical, but I have never cared what people say or do as much as the intent behind their actions. Some people say/do some pretty salty things with zero malintent. Others make the most carefully scripted PC statements with all the venom in the world. Unfortunately modern PC life (and automation) are driven by the letter of the law and not the spirit. And we are the worse for it.
I eagerly await CAlexio's return!

I am all for trying to keep politics out of an auto blog but reasonableness should be the standard. Delete the offending post, advised the poster why it was deleted and move on. To ban someone for the offense is uncalled for. Moderators need to take the cloak of righteousness off and begin to act as though they understand the world we live in.

John closed the thread I started that turned political.
He just beat me too it or I would have closed it myself.
I think I will start a thread next week about my mini Mancation ROAD ATL - VIR - ROEBLING LOL. Should be leaving next Friday
Good times and too long ago when all we posted about was cheater parts, laptimes, beer drinking and other trackside shenanigans...
