I have ever seen speaks his mind. I too, have been off line for a
couple of days and came back to the worst flame war atrocity I have
seen in my time on the list.
>From what I've read, the guy just wanted a car. As he was not specific,
he was instantly attacked, ON LIST!,as in publicly. next thing you
know, every one is jumping in for the feeding frenzy.
Personaly, if I had a car to sell him I would have off list written him
to help him find a car. I would have never jumped on him for not being
specific enough. As he said, he'd know the right car. I've bought
plenty of cars that I wasn't even planning on,It just happened to be
the right car. I think the man deserves a break, and he probably will
unsubscribe from the list based on the treatment he has gotten. All he
wanted was a car, and for that he got publicly ridiculed on the list.
In closing, It just got out of hand, and list Insanity entered in.
Myself, in a flame war, I just sit back and read all, and look at all
sides before responding.
Hey, bottom line, the guy just wanted a car.
