Unhappy Sad too see

Lat G used to be a great place to hang out.

I think most people would be over these school girl antics, I don't post a lot, but this place is going to the dogs really quickly. It reminds me of an old western, where they gather up a posy and hang them in the streets.

Greg, I disagree with you on this one. Lat-G is still an awesome place to hang out. First and foremost, we are a family. What some of us fail to realize or haven't given much thought to, is that families do have fights from time to time. I don't think because an argument here or a disagreement there makes this a bad or not fun place to hang out. Tell me which one of us haven't physically or verbally had a fight with a biological family member? But, at the end of the day you were still family and loved him or her just as much if not more. Lastly, we are a group of guys (and girls) from different walks of life...different ages, ethnic backgrounds, different attitudes, different beliefs, different religious preferences, etc. With that in mind we are not going to always agree. But, until I log in daily and see a bunch of hissy fits and complaints, I would not say this is not a fun place to hang around. The advice and guidance I've gotten on here and the many friends I've made on here far outweigh the 2-3 fights per year. I'm mean, friends like Ron in So Cal, John Sevilla, Carl Cassanova make it all worth it. Hell, I even talked to Phil Gerber at Roadster Shop just yesterday for some advice and he was more than willing to be helpful. Phil agreed to do a very small job for me that I'm pretty sure he's far too busy to do. But, he said send him what I needed done and he would could squeeze me in. So, if that ain't a family for you...I don't know what is.

Talk about an inflammatory post. Sorry your not happy. We try and keep the peace, but you can't stop people from posting. We just react to what is already posted and go from there.

I disagree, this site is experiencing some growing pains and at least Scott is being proactive. The core group is stronger than ever.

Which leads me to my next idea, a core group of individuals hand picked by the moderators that have a private forum on the site to discuss and solve site problems. I'm one on a motorcycle site and the members are reccomended by another core member and then voted in with a certain majority.

Stick around Greg! Your input/posts are valuable and I like seeing your name in any thread. We'll get past this. Scott and the team are very open to what the members have to say first and foremost. That in itself is what sets us apart...

I had just removed the last of the drama in another thread when you posted in it. You edited your post to delete it, so you must have seen that the drama was gone. So my question is why you started this thread?

There is nothing wrong with starting this thread, I'm just confused about what you're seeing that I am not. We closed the last thread and are weighing options for rules going forward. We started another thread for opinions of the members regarding these threads and a possible feedback forum. And we cleaned up the other threads, so did I miss something?
