I've seen that done before, but it's also true that the general tone changes completely.

We do.

As long as the attacks are not personal, I don't see why they deserve to be shut down; and the ones that have been don't even come close to being political.

If this section is simply automotive but non-Yaris discussions, then it should be aptly named. If the words "off topic" and "everything else" are included, then that should mean anything that anyone wants to discuss, right?

Just wanted to get a comment in before this one gets closed too
this section should be a Moderator free zone
Gotta have fun some time , with out the risk of being baned.

I just banned bobselectric for a month and I'm not f&cking happy about it. It shouldn't have come to that. I like Bob as a member.

Hmmm... that's unfortunate. I wonder what he's done but I'm not gonna ask.

I'm starting to think you guys (mods) have a tougher job than I realize because of the number of members and all.

If I ask you nicely to remove my name from your signature and I say please, I expect it to be done. You can argue with me about it afterwards.

Here, I posted a thread on it so there is no confusion.

If you have an opinion you'd like to share on it, my PM box is open. Don't argue about it in the public forums, PLEASE. I'm serious.

With that, closed. Back to normal now everyone. NO politics, respect the mods, have fun, enjoy your Yaris, let me know if there are any questions or concerns. My PM box is ALWAYS open.
