Seriously guys, wtf...

I don't even like coming to the website anymore, because all I see is a bunch of BS about politics. I understand it gets a little old talking about the same things going wrong w/ a ZR-1 over and over and over again. But isn't there anything else off topic to talk about. It's bad enough I get inudated by commercials and phone calls, now I see it on the one place I look to escape it. Believe it or not I'm an adult and educated, and I know all about both sides of the debate. Only the simple-minded would say " ahh, well so and so posted this about him on the internet, so now I'm voting for the other guy". Just about every politician on both sides of the aisle is corrupt (there are a FEW who are still in touch w/ the common person), it's just a matter of who's more corrupt than the other. You want to change the country. Vote Independant. Oh wait, that's right, that would be a waste of a vote. Sorry I hate politics.
P.S. I'm a registered voter and vote at EVERY election, local or national.

Sorry Joe, I get sucked in every time. Guess I'm pretty fed up with the way the system is run, on both sides.

However, we all need to stay involved, and this is part of it.

i've asked to have my access to the "off topic" section revoked because of it, just waiting to hear back if it's doable or not

no, posting forwarded chain emails on a car board isn't "staying involved"

Couldn't agree more. It's not enough to just say
"don't look at the OFF TOPIC" because you can see the
titles and personally I just get infuriated at the lopsidedness
of the bashing.

I've done some snooping around on features on the forum.
There is a feature for creating "groups".
And If I understand it only those that want to be in a particular
group can get in and see stuff.
That's what's needed. Those that want to join a group for bashing
politicians and/or political issues can go there and the rest of us
don't have to see it.
Again, that's what's needed. Well that and the convention that says "OFF TOPIC" is not for politics.

I setup this convention for a list of folks on Facebook. Now all those wanting to rant go there and don't post politics in the other groups. In this way friends can stay as FB friends and don't have to see stuff they don't want to.

Thanks guys and I agree we have to stay involved and I do. I just don't do it on a CORVETTE website. Good idea, Scott. Btw, what some are doing with the posts here, is called spamming on other websites.

Joe, I too agree 110% with you, and applaud your ideal timing and candor, given the most recent adjacent off-topic political BS thread that is not only factually flawed but also downright offensive... Now, lets get back to talking about what brings us together in the Brotherhood of the Beast.

[ZZZZZR1]

Does anyone think we should keep this negative political chatter?

Maybe we should consider that a new policy....

Keep it friendly, about us (the brotherhood) and the beast!!!
