I thought the thread was becoming less than civil. Sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings by locking it.

Hey 21 pages and nobody got called a Nazi, that's pretty good!

I saw the lock on that thread just a few minutes ago, and read the last 2 pages just to see what precipitated it. Datsun1500, you nailed it. It takes commitment and sacrifice to succeed. I don't want to say anything to shut this thread down too....so I'll just say...kids- if you want it, then earn it!!

I was marvelling it had made it as far as it had. I stayed out of it for a reason.

It'd be sweet if we had an option in the new thread options that basically restricted every poster to just a single post.

It'd be sweet if the old rule of "no political bullE36 M3" was back and enforced under penalty of permaban.

if someone doesn't like how a thread is going, why is it not possible for them to just not venture into that thread and add their voice to it?

Nazis. Hitler. Everyone is wrong about everything except me and I will offer no proof and call you the names du jour for the people I disagree with.

Probably the same reason i currently own two Miatas, despite not really wanting even one.

Never know when there might be a smokin' deal on a Miata hidden in a political thread... gotta check em all.

On the flip side, never know when a political bullE36 M3 thread is going to spring up in the middle of a Miata thread.

THANKS OBAMA

I kinda want one, but my love of barges keeps me from ever considering one. That and I'm broke and barges are cheap.

Why? It's clear from the thread title that it's a political topic. No need for the uninterested/easily-offended to wander into it if they are uninterested or easily offended.

And it was staying clean and relatively cool from what I saw, so it's not like it would be an issue for potential advertisers. I didn't see anything unprofessional there that would have reflected badly on the magazine. If we're going by that standard of decency, why does the OMFGWTF cheesecake thread still exist?
