I just received a PM from Larmont. Some body sent him a message complaining about the artwork on my trunk lid. I've been on this site for awhile now and haven't had any problems. My pic was removed from the site. Not right. That same pic was my avatar for over a year. and no one said anything. With that said. I will no longer posting on this site. Goodbye. :gaah::gaah:
First, I am very sorry you have chosen to leave. I think you're taking this all wrong.
I don't pretend to speak for everyone here. This is just my perspective.
It may have appeared to you that there weren't any problems. But it is more likely that people here just didn't want to create an issue by pointing out the obvious and taking the chance of setting you off.
It is quite clear that you are very proud of that semi-nude woman on the front of your Spyder. People may have assumed your reaction to any complaint would not be well received, no matter how it was presented. And in fact they were correct, as evidenced by your response. So you can't blame anyone for not wanting to pull the pin on this grenade.
Even if you did not realize your 'Artwork' is inapproprite here, you must have known it would be offensive to some, and you did not consider that important enough to sensor it yourself.
Why is our right not to see it less important than your proclaimed right to post it? When I don't want to read or follow a post I just don't read it. But a picture is in your face and can't be avoided in the same way as text.
One of the reasons I come here is I feel realitively sure I won't have to look at that kind of picture. For one thing, my wife is too important to me. She loves me and I love her. And for us, what we look at is important.
So once again, Lamont takes the heat for those of us who appreciate the clean environment here. Believe me, he hates confrontation and this is neither easy nor fun for him. But he man's up and does what has to be done. And that is something that I have always admired about Lamont.
Web sites like this one are not common. And there are few who do it as well as Lamont does. He'll be the first to tell you he isn't perfect. But I certainly appreciate what he does and the way that he does it.
How about all of us grow up a little and do what we know is right to start with. Then Lamont can sit back and let us have good clean fun.
Bottom line is, this is not a democracy. Everyone is welcome but there are some rules to the game. And like anything with rules, if you don't follow them, someone has to deal with it. Maybe Lamont was hoping you'd take care of it without him having to get involved.
As for me, I say come back and stay as long as you like. There are plenty of other forums where they will apprecaite your trunk hood and you can post it there.
