I agree with the OP - It's not even what he wrote, but it's the fact that he wrote it in a mod's thread.
I'm an argumentative person and if I feel someone is doing something stupid, unmoral, etc etc, then I'll say something. It's very rare that I've ever been called out on it - in fact, a few times I've written in a drunk driver's thread about how I hope they crash their car and are unable to drive another car after that. That goes unchecked.. but when I write in a mod's thread about how I think that's BS to be driving cars you have ZERO intention of buying for your own gratification.. I get warned about doing it again. And then someone else does it and his post is edited.
@ Webby.. does it really matter if his post contributed to the thread? He even wrote ":-p" after it to show he was just poking fun.. Look at half the posts on these forums.. most of them are just people restating what has already been said 10x previously in the post, or just nothing at all. In fact, it's quite rare to come across a post that actually HELPS because a lot of people talk about things they know nothing about, and instead of just remaining quiet about the topic, they'd rather chime in with their own 'facts', however wrong they might be. A perfect example of this is when people were posting in the thread about how terrible it is for an automatic tranny on the civics to be 'shifted', when the owner's manual CLEARLY states you CAN do this. It's things like that (and poking fun) that are all over the boards.. yet one one of them is directed at a mod, it's edited.
