OK. Let's get this clear guys. There are only three people on this site who have the access to close, delete, and generally control posts in this forum. First, that would be the moderator of this particular forum, and no, other moderators of other forums can't control posts in forums they do no moderate. Second, Mr. 5.0 can administer ANY forum on the message board because he is not just a moderator, but the message board administrator. Finally, myself, because obviously I am an administrator since I own the darn site. However, I have come to rely on Mr. 5.0 (Jim) as the main MWorks official to oversee the message board in general. And, he's damn good at it. I did not close any threads here, in fact I have been so busy with work that I have just come to read these two threads myself.

I can only assume that Jeff closed the prior thread, and I would say that he was somewhat justified in doing so. Not for the purpose of protecting George, nor Fun Ford, but because things seem to be getting out of hand. Quite frankly, the staff of this site is not here to protect anyone (except maybe from themselves

), nor support Fun Ford officials. George can take care of, and defend, himself. And, if he can't, or is not justified in official Fun Ford decisions he's going to get burned for it by the racers.

I am a street/strip racer, pure and simple. I am actually on your side, believe me. Those who know me personally, know this. S/R was made by a racer (me) for racers (you). It was also based on input from racers (you) on this very site. That's why it was an immediate success. Unfortunately, except for some consultation through the first season, that seems to be the extent of my involvement with it. My views on this class are pretty much now the reverse of Fun Ford, and they no longer listen to me on what I think should be done with it. So, what I'm saying is, don't think that I neccessarily agree with anything that goes on with S/R now and that I am protecting Fun Ford on it.

However, I'm not going to attack them and get unruly either. Whether I agree with it or not. Neither should you. Of course, let your voice be heard, but just keep things calm and rational and we're all golden. Under these circumstances, you'll get all the voice you want here at The Mustang Works. OK-guys...
