RE: Where's Soarin?
So nobody is moderating now and we can be really bad?!!?
Oh the possibilities are endless. We can get away with anything now that Soarin isMIA.
What to do? Where to start?
{think think, think think think}
Yo' momma is so fat, that when she puts on her little black dress, she looks like outter space.
Yo' momma is so fat, that when she ran away, she used up all four sides of the milk carton.
Sadly, that isabout themost I do as far as raising hell anymore. It seems that living in a house full of women has domesticated me somewhat.

67sally, i still dont think those dates are right. Either mine or Glens changed. I guess Glen's did. I believe he was here before me.

Yea, I guess I really don't blame Glenn.
Anyone who has been here for the last few months will probably know that Glenn and I did not always see eye to eye, but what has been happening to Glenn over the last few days is wrong.
We have seen some folks here making a huge issue over nothing, with the simple intent on "bringing someond down a few notches". Don't get me wrong, I think that everyone shouldvoice their opinions, but, discretion is knowing when enough is enough, that barrier was overrun early in the suspect thread.
What we had were a few vocal members spouting off insults that should not have been made, while even a few continue today.
Glenn is a little abbrasive at times,nonetheless, he has not been given the respect that he has earned, and the respect that he deserves.

This isn't a "huge issue over nothing" and the intention wasn't "bringing someond [sic] down a few notches". You weren't really a part of this when it happened and you don't know the entire story. Therefore, I can see how you would be mistaken, but that really isn't the case at all.
As I've mentioned on more than one occasion - I think Glen is a very knowledgeable person. This site would not be the same without him or his knowledge. I believe he has helped everyone here at one point or another. I have told him this and I have also told the admins this. That being said, I think some of his comments are out of line and unacceptable for a member of the staff to make. Under no circumstances would I consider what I have done as "spouting off insults". However, if you do see it that way, why is it acceptable for one person (Glen) to do that, but not another (me)? What I have done is voiced my opinion and am now waiting to see if a positive change can be made.

James-
First of all, this isn't a "huge issue over nothing" and the intention wasn't "bringing someond [typo] down a few notches". You weren't really a part of this when it happened and you don't know the entire story. Therefore, I can see how you would be mistaken, but that really isn't the case at all.

Please see my post to you in the "restomodding" thread, I am curious to hear your thoughts about my auto parts store analogy.

I am not saying that I have not been upset at Glen before, I have even gotten a PM from him as well, but life is too short to hold agrudge forever. I am one of thes folks who likes to get it out quick and move on, I find this works best for me. It is not healthy to stay angry....
I have always been a person who really studies people, (in general, not so much specifficly) one thing I have learned in this study is that we really are not going to change people, the best that we can hope is to find a way to get along and to make the best out of any situation. All of us have some good to offer and some bad, and all of s need to learn to accept this from others as well. If we can do this well, we will be beter people because of it.
IMO, Glen has contributed much more positive (way more) than negative to this forum, and if we expect him to continue to do so, we should all be willing to accept what we might consider as negative, as well as what we consider as positive. Every relationship requires somegive and take.
IMO Glen has earned some "space" by virtue of his time here, his service here, and also because he isolder than most of the rest of us. (sorry, I do believe that we should respect our elders, and people in authority, even if the authority is just over a section of Mustang Forum) What I take away from this is I sincerly believe that Glen has earned, and is due more respect than he has gotten here for the past few days.
I am at the point where I think it is time foreveryone to stop "pushing". Just because we can push, does not mean that we should push.

i still half confused at what happened but i always thought he was cool AND helpful, which is alot more than i can say for some of the other people that have found their way onto these forums.

It was the classic "Resto-Modder" vs "Restorer" thing gone really ugly... ithad it's originsin Glen's previous decision to move a fuel injection thread.
The original/moddifiedargument has been going on since there have been cars, I think that some folks had tried to resolve this issue all in one thread, unfortunatly, this resolution required that Glen and his point of view to be thrown under the train, IMO. All sort of examples of Glen's past "abuse of power" issues and his "mean spirited remarks" were posted as well.

RE: Where's Soarin?
He brought this upon himself. I dont want him to be gone, as I have already seen hes been a huge contributor to the site. At the same time though he made a mistake when he started moving all the EFI threads. He pissed off alot of people. To him the title of this section of MF 'Classic Mustangs' does not include any modern conveniences, to some others you can have classic looks and modern drivetrain at the same time.
Now while everyone has thier own opinions, and most of us agreed that we could put up with his opinions, he was forcing his opinion upon us by moving our threads to the 'EFI section." Which by the way the site doesnt have. Not everyone here wants to stick a mod motor into thier classic.
The name of this section is 'Classic Mustangs' not 'Unmodified and Concourse restoration forum' And by that we have a right to post questions about fuel injecting a classic, or anything else that relates to OUR classic mustang. Not conform to someone elses idea of what a classic is.
Am I sad that hes gone right now? A little, do I really miss his 'opinions', not at all. Oh and in the beginning it started out as a member leaving because of all the crap were getting from various members about modifying a classic. Wasnt really a debate of which is which, or which is better, untill the end. We just want a place to ask our questions too, and he wasnt allowing that to happen.
