This site along with several others have provided an outstanding resource for turbo buick owners & TB powered vehicles world wide
I have had my share of laughs over the recent past and have sat at the computer shaking my head at some of the half truths & down right hurtful things that members have said at or towards each other
It's hard to take sides on such matters as I enjoy the friendship of many people from across the nation
The recent banning of Harold for a 2 week period really bothers me. Not that Harold is my "Home Boy", my "Best Friend", or whatever term of endearment you wish to apply, just that along with countless others, he is a friend who has unselfishly helped me with my car on numerous occassions and in my opinion was not the only person who should have received a Jay Carter imposed short vacation
There are multiple guilty parties, including myself who has decided to continue a post after the site administrator has warned us to shut up or join Harold for a "Time Out".
I have no problems with any of the site administrators, hell of a job they do making this website available to us all. I've never met Jay Carter in person, yet I have found time to donate to his upcoming MS Bike Ride because I believe in what he is doing
I believe in freeedom of speach and of the press, but I don't feel that this educational and informative forum is a place to hash out threats & accusations towards others
We all have our strengths and weaknesses, we can all be pig headed at times, and no where is it written that we have to agree, help, or get along with everyone else. Some personalities just clash...period
I have had plenty of great cars / trucks over the past 6 years (00 Lightning, 87 GN, Syclone, Typhoon, GNX #485, Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette, Chevy SSR, Chrysler 300C SRT-8, and lastly an 86 GN.
No matter what I buy, drive, enjoy, or sell, I tend to come back to the Buicks. Every following has a forum, every forum has the good & bad members, yet the TB crowd has always been (in my opinion) a step above and ahead of the other forums.
I teach my kids to be responsible for their actions, to be fair, to treat others as they would want to be treated themselves, to respect others, to listen without being judgemental, to offer friendship and advice, to keep their mouths shut if they can't say something nice about the other person.
This banning was not a sneak attack. The warnings were made, it's like a penalty in football, you may not have made the original penalty, but if you are the last one seen doing something wrong, then you get nailed. Harold along with many others were guilty of voicing their personal opinions and for not shutting up when asked to do so
Be consistrent with your enforcement Jay. Don't punish one when others need to be in Forum Jail also.

Ray
