Every single person on the forum isn't going to think the camaro is the best looking car on the planet. (Agreed and thank goodness they don't all look the same) You can't expect him not to respond unfavorably after being called an asshat for saying he doesn't think so. (If I had seen that, I would have addressed it..) If he didn't own a gt500 and said he thought the gt500 looked better, like dabears did immediately after his post, and in turn was called an asshat, how do you think he would have responded? It's not even like he tried to be offensive, he literally just said he disagreed. Nobody seems interested in going after dabears, but his comment was much more provocative. So much touchiness. I understand there is trolling and that trolling will come from non-owners, but black gt was not trolling in the LEAST until he was insulted for a very simple statement of, "I don't think so."



Read above.
I wasn't pointing out anyone in particular with my post... I was generalizing and responding to the post by 4DoorRocket... My comments were to all concerned...

We spend a huge amount of time trying to keep this site relevant and family friendly... and we have a few that think it's a public place where anything they wish to say can be... which isn't the case... This is a privately owned and operated site, available to most anyone, but we retain the right to ban users that fail to follow the rules or those that create problems. A heated discussion is not a problem... Name calling and childish antics is...

As I mentioned in my previous post, the Camaro owning members are not above the rules... It would serve the site better to report posts than to respond to them... We give infractions based on them being deserved, not based on the vehicle you drive... We also have access to parts of the forum the general popuation doesn't... and we track posting histories and watch trends... We have a much harder time without post's being reported...

I agree most of the "trolling" comes from non Camaro owners, but there are some that own Camaros as well... We fix what we can, what we know about, or what is reported to us... Regardless of the car owned or driven...

Thank you for your comments, I'm off to review some post histories right now...
