Censorship
I'm well aware of it.
I'm also aware of those members, who appreciate my simple, direct, and (mostly) accurate, posts. They are part of that larger group, who actually read (and understand) a post, before they reply to it.
In addition, I am aware that, nothing seems to be said, about the "vendetta" that captjim started, and continues to keep alive, that is responsible for most of this BS.

Well, it appears as if there are a bunch of other fellas who find you as offensive as I do. And you just made my point. As long as someone agrees with what you say and how you say it, fine. Anyone that disagrees is an idiot and a Moron. Tell you what, let's do a scientific test. Find one thread on here that is contentious that involves me, but not you. Well, waiting........... Hmmm. Actually, there was one,

I realized I was being rude, so I apologized, and was then chastized by Norm for doing so.
Now, find a contentious thread involving Norm that does not include me. How much bandwidth does the site have?
Look up the word "vendetta" Now go look at your responses to my posts. I have received PMs from guys who say it is quite obvious that you intentionally go after me. Fine. Pretty soon there will be Norm, Oldsguy, and Jay.
Do, try to keep up with the rest of us.
That is funny. Didn't you start one of your childish rants because I "dared" to comment on one of your tests?
Is it because I do not participate on those sites where you irregularly engage in your (off topic) BS arguments?
How were you "chastised"?
I looked it up before I posted it. It's definition, is why I chose to use it.
To put it more simply: If you, and/or your minions, do not post your BS, we will get along fine.

"Would it be fair to say, this silence is deafening?"
Nope, just trying to let this go away, per the wishes of the moderators. Interesting that you brought it back up, I had no intention of doing so.
You asked for proof, you got it. My position has always been that you inhibit the growth and activity of this site. In this informal poll, https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...nts-proof.html
over 36% of the guys say that is true. Factor in the number of fellas that put you on their "ignore" list and the number that have left because of you, and it is quite clear that my contention is accurate. Couple of interesting facts; there are 8674 total members and 637 active ones. That is a ratio of 13 to 1. Where did they all go? The other Olds sites have many more active members. Look up threads where there was an exchange with Norm and the poster he was involved with made no more posts. Here is a good example;

This guy sounded knowledgeable and experienced. I would like to hear about his aluminum engine build. But, he too is long gone. Further examples are endless.
Here are a few exchanges that I have had, you decide where the thread went sour.

I'm done, you fellas have fun. There are a lot of good guys here, too bad one ruins it for so many.

I hope you are done
YES there are a lot of good guys here
And Norm is one of them
Looks to me like the ones that have issues with him just like to whine
Most of the people here don't have a problem with him. The rest need to GROW up and quit crying

[/quote]ROFLMAO......maybe you should grow up and smell the manure. I wouldn't rely on that poll for accurate info. Probably many on here that are not afraid of being "Normed". So Rosco I'm not impressed with your listing of probable junk in your sig line. Go ahead and reply........I'll stick to good Olds sites and this isn't one of them.
Well i'm speaking for me and me alone when i first started on car forums
I WROTE MY INTRODUCTION AND THREADS & POSTS SOMETHING LIKE THIS with out paragraphs & all Capital letters, i thought it would be easier to read, i really did. Wrong i got ripped, there picking on me
i thought
Well after a few folks pointed this out to me, they were right. This stuff i wrote was hard to read and shouting with CAPITALS i had no idea what they were talking about. I never needed Office skills in my job, i just got the job done.
It is possible others are not aware of these things also, I'm done

Ok I rest my case
You know what IOWA stands for
Idiot's out wandering around 
This thread seriously reminds me of the www.lawyers.com website and the postings on some of the message boards. LMFAO... check it out, and see the similarities if you don't believe me. They post the quote, and then respond. This is getting comical. Maybe I'll stop visiting the lawyers.com website for good, and just come here instead.

Yes, it is.
It is more interesting, however, that you did not address the only point that I brought back up. I had every intention of dealing with your reply.
Here it is again:
It is not a "trick question". If you are unable to answer it, just say so.

It is an excellent example of the "Elitist" mentality that is more suited to OP or ROP, than to CO.
