Resq302, you present the same type of behavior that got the thread locked on DC.com. You should also notice that many of the posts on that thread are yours. Now you're here, continuing to stir the pot on ECS's behalf.
I backed away from that thread before it got locked, and didn't participate on the 2nd thread. It reached a crescendo that if anyone posted something to the contrary, YOU or ECS would be back to attack them, leaving people feeling as if they have just been horribly disciplined, thus posting a wise crack, or another non productive "comeback" post just to save face.
At the end there was no conducive posts that could end the back and forth arguments. Even if ECS presented his new "smoking gun evidence" he alluded to about 4-door Barracuda's existence, it would likely be followed with a targeted angry rebuttal that would offend everyone on the thread, thus making more enemies. I'm guessing that's what the moderators were afraid of when locking this thread. Or they were just plain embarrassed. If ECS didn't come through with solid evidence, another 10 pages will follow about his lack of concrete proof which would turn to more name calling and accusations.
I'm pretty sure that's why the thread was locked. I'm no saint. But you're not either - - so don't act like one.

Tom,
The more I think about it, the more puzzled I am about your statements and how you are coming to that conclusion. You say that many of the posts on that thread that got locked were mine. Please show me where in this thread
http://www.dodgecharger.com/forum/index.php/topic,98383.250.html . Please be sure to check out ECS's first post! Also, I stopped counting at page 11 because your post count to mine FAR outweighed mine. If you're counting up to and including page 11, your total posts to that point was 60 to my 13. If you want, I can continue counting the rest of the pages.
If you go back and re-read the locked thread, you will see where neither Dave, nor myself, were the ones who started the attack. I am posting this on MY behalf, not ECS's. So you can say what you want about "stirring the pot" on Dave's behalf. I am here out of my own defending my integrity and reputation.
You say I am not a saint and I agree, I have my faults, however, I still treat people with respect. If someone has something that I don't like about their car, I don't say anything. Common courtesy. I don't go on there saying that their vehicle is an abomination or a farce. Did I post in the second thread? Yes, I made a joke about wanting to see a Satellite Wagon. Was I disrespectful? No. However, if someone accuses me of something or starts bashing on me when I did not start the "fight", you'd better believe that I will stand up for myself. Just ask some of your friends when I've confronted them at E-town a few years back. Its funny how some people are "keyboard commandos" yet are totally different when you talk to them face to face about the matter.
I'm guessing the threads were locked because someone (you know) contacted the mods begging them to lock it. Again, that is only my guess. My
as some people say. Who knows? Maybe that so called "smoking gun" had the hammer cocked and was read to pull the trigger.
