In the end, I end up being quoted (but the original post has vanished) and the thread looks like someone has paranoid schizophrenia.

I've lost count of the "respectful" posts by numerous members that were simply deleted. Dave posted a very well thought-out response to a very carefully-worded response of mine -- both were deleted -- his response to my post immediately, and ultimately my post (although "snippets" of my post are quoted by numerous people).
I can't speak for everyone on here, but when I post, I try to invest time and care so as to be thorough and respectful. Most of the responses in that thread were respectful as well.
If my "safe, PC, and respectful" posts aren't safe from removal, then what is?
What is the point of even posting anymore? Do we truly have a
zero tolerance rule of anything even being remotely related to politics?
If that's the case, threads about high gas prices should be deleted immediately. Threads moaning about the resale and inflation should be deleted immediately. Threads complaining about potholes should be deleted immediately, as that's a slam on the infrastructure which is fed by tax dollars.
You get my point.
I've been a member here since '06, and have always tried to conduct myself in a respectful and reasonable manner.
Quite simply, it's disrespectful to those that invest time in their thoughts. Especially if the main drive for deletion is a difference of opinion. Very cowardly, and I'm disappointed that we've come to this.
John, frankly what got deleted was a discussion about what happened to Chrysler,
a car company. There was only one line involving a political opinion about a political candidate. AllIi did was warntheposter. Yet my entire post was deleted. As was any related conversations.
I was just getting to where I wanted to post here again. Now I see my and many other's, innocuos posst are being deleted.
I would love to explain to the mods that given our current government's apperance in virtualy every aspect of our lives,it is rather hard not to have a connection made.
And while I do understand the phobia some have about "politic,s" the threat of such arbitrary deletions tend to make any conversation here rather more tedious and worthless than the trivial musings they almost always are
Post counts are down and frankly I can't see why anyone would pay to adverstise here ,much less just converse.
If the Mods don't back off the delete button a bit, this forum will continue to become less and less populated and more irrelavent
So, hopefully I can talk about the Crossfire. Are there any mods I can do to improve the performance of my stock 215 HP MB engine?
What about tires?
Why doesn't the Crossfire have a spare tire?
Nevermind.
