as i said, my original post was to reply to the guy that thought that ford didn't produce the shelby themselves. i was in a kind of sarcastic mood when i put it up there, so i tossed out a question to him, concerning something sort of related but not really. :seesaw:
He is talking about balance, and there is no reason to "defend" Ford as it were. It is fine to point out factual errors when someone makes them, as with your Shelby example, no one will ban you for that and I'm sure for most it is actually welcomed. To me, however, that isn't actually "defending" Ford.

Once you take up some imaginary banner to crusade for your favorite car, and when all your posts are dedicated to "defending" said favorite car, and that is your only/main purpose for even posting here, then you run the risk of being banned especially if you become disrespectful. It is great if you are willing to call Ford out when appropriate, but the mods are used to hearing such statements, and then watching as people seek to defend Fords mistakes/issues at all costs too.

Not to pick on you or read too much into your statement, just saying that there are a lot of other people who have come to Camaro5 with the purpose of "setting the record straight" with mixed results. From what I've seen it comes down to overall attitude, and if your contributions amount to more than a PR campaign for your favorite car. YMMV
