This thread has gotten a bit ugly. A challenge for three Americans to fight three Canadians in order to prove?? An offer to cure one of liberalism...cure! He is so certain of his rightness that anyone with a different opinion is sick and in need of a cure. I live 45 miles from DC and politics is something I can't escape except at places like this. If we let politics polute this site, we will all be the poorer for it. I don't really care if you are liberal, conservative, libertarian or a Lyndon Larouche acolyte. We share a passion....Porsches, and I really look forward to each of your opinions about our respective passion. If we, as a result of our ability to listen to each other concerning things Porsche, we can also hear political theories counter to our own, it will be because we don't use brutal language in describing those with whom we disagree. This is a fun, informative place. I hope we can keep it that way......Chris

A quote from one of the PM's I received..
"Vern,
Just so you know, not all Americans are like Spokane, Jackson, Palmbeacher, and Waxer. There are people here who can engage in a little give and take without going off the rails with anger, threats, and insults. I'm sure you knew that, but after reading the particularly shameful display in this latest 997/991 thread I felt compelled to write you just to reinforce it. My apologies on behalf of my "countrymen"."
Another:
"There are people, some on this forum, who are incapable of self-reflection and logic. It's like trying to reason with a mad dog.....they don't really think, they just react with anger. If they could only see the hypocrisy in their comments, but then again, that would require introspection, maturity, and a level on the evolutionary scale that they just haven't reached yet.."
Funny how some posters have gone very silent since a few other voices have stepped in. Regardless, apologies to those who found it distracting and thanks to those who made it entertaining.

Vern: First I don't need, want or ask for any apologies on behalf of my "countrymen". Second I don't see any need for me to apologize for anything so one won't be forthcoming.
Finally, you clearly "stir the pot" (you tacitly admit to it) on these threads so you reap what you sow.
Now you post private emails voicing support for yourself after kicking the hornets nest and crying about getting stung in the quest to some how shame others and ganer support for yourself?
Really, kind of sad and silly.

Just a clarification for the ignorant bloke who referred to me as an American: We sent all you ignorant tossers' ancestors to the colonies some 300 years ago hoping the experience might help you make something of yourselves after a few generations. Making ***** of yourselves isn't what we had in mind, however. But to be fair, some of you colonials are mildly entertaining for brief periods, like watching a puppy chase its tail.

Oh...I've been working all day.
You still want to spar you POS. You and your Countrymen can kiss my ***. I suspect this is the response you wanted so here you go jackwagon.

I'm not insulted by this a bit because it's freaking Hilarious and true. Some good training from a proper British chap may be in order, assuming you're from Great Britian. I Flunked out of Charm School. BTW I haven't been a tosser since College.

These guys from Canada cannot understand real humor. All the libs are thin skin. "Chasing your tail like a puppy"....demented? Really? What a bone head. Dude that was hilarious!

Chasing the tail is not the demented part. Read the whole post.
I am not getting into this whole crazy discussion with you tough guy.
This bone head is out, boy.
