We understand your points Cheeks and most of us have thick skin. Some of us have been on car forums for 10+ years now. But things started to go overboard and you created a mob, lol.
Bringing forums together isn’t easy (as you can tell) and we’re trying to offer your guys and ours an overall better experience and more opportunities. It takes time for members to “gel” and understand each other before they can appreciate the sarcasm, personal humor, etc. It doesn’t happen right away and can’t be expected to.
You’ve said some funny shit for sure but the edginess needs to step back a bit until the people you’re prodding understand your intent. And that only happens with time.
