Gee, I can't IMAGINE what forum THAT MIGHT BE. I couldn't agree more with you that there is no call to do that sort of thing. I get furious when I see someone just trying to ask a question or posting something and the "gang" piles on. But, it happens because the owner of the forum allows it to happen. If anything like that went on here, not only would the mods take care of it, the members themselves would not tolerate it.

I think that Jerry Springer comment is very accurate, and it also applies to some forums.

Don,
It started out as constructive criticism and a one on one discussion with Dan from some of us about some of what they do for their story line and how we felt it could be improved then the thread degenerated downhill from there. I apologized to him in both the thread and via a PM for the actions of some and how I felt they were off base.

What happens with a lot of these forums and their threads is that people hide under their anonymity with a screen name and feel that as an unknown they can say anything they want without reprecussion. My feelings about those folks is best left out of this. There are several forums that I belong to for whatever reason - but there are only 4 or 5 that I participate regularly due to their inflamatory nature. There are a couple of folks that I choose not to correspond with in each of them - even here - just to keep peace in my own mind.

With that said - I'm off to Syracuse in my F350Guzzle10 in the early AM for the Right Coast nationals - and possibly see some great to outrageous cars !!!
