It is one of the best sections of the forum, and very well moderated. Bad threads don't last long there, and most of the 'regular' posters are not that stupid.

So for 1 member you want an entire section banned? People are going to disagree with your opinions, life is tough, get a helmet. Until you grow some thicker skin, I would avoid PR&C, feelings do get hurt but you gotta understand this is the internet. I guess your user name is sarcasm?

If you find it offensive, then don't read or participate in that section. As much as some of the stuff in there is crap, it provides a place to see differing opinions, even if racist.

So we should close all the other topics non-Corvette related
That's where the fun is

Internet tuff guys should also remember that many members of this forum are also expert marksmen.

You need to realize that this is an anonymous forum and everyone's opinions are and statements are worth nothing more than the electrons they are written on.

If you're threatened or a offended, every post has a link to instantly report it to a mod.

Then the best thing to do is to not post in PR&C.

Some members that frequent there are "opinionated", to say the least, and some seem to have a fairly short fuse. Those people can be avoided or anyone wishing to post in a thread can (and should) state thier position in a non-judgemental or non-threating manner.

The there is always the "Report this post" button Using that feature directs the thread to a Mod who certainly will take action if things get out of hand.

I've only ventured into the PR&C section twice in two years, and have never posted a response in there. I try to avoid it whenever possible, I already know there are going to be a lot of short fused people in there, As c4cruiser said, there is always the "report this post" button if people are making threats.

Don't read/post there if you don't like it.

Simple and effective.

That sure it a lot of complaining from a person who has only been a member of the forum for... Ummm... 4 months. If you are that unhappy with the forum, you could spend you time else where?

Also, is English your second language? Maybe you are just miss-understood... You might be better understood if you used capital letters when appropriate and proper grammer....

Of course you are. I can almost see Chuck Norris shaking in his boots.

I'm guessing this thread will have the distinction of being the first locked thread in the Acquisition Discussion area.
