Not that I give a shit, but kind of like the Outlaws?

I assumed this forum aspired to be "a better place" than the Outlaws list which is pretty much dead now due in part to this place.
This place is about bringing together individuals with a passion for a certain car and a place for such people to communicate and socialize. When you had logos made it stopped being an individual's forum and became the best Miata community in the metroplex. MME is not TC's place to do with as he wishes. As a paying members, we should have a say in what goes on around here, especially who gets banned and he needs to keep his own personal feelings out of it.
It doesn't need bullshit politics, secret bashing of individuals, indiscriminate banning of individuals who did nothing but piss one person off and deletion of posts only because the admin or mod can't take a joke yet expects everyone else to.
Several members agree with me. I'm being vocal in hopes you all see the light and fix this place before you end up like so many other pious forums like the pointy board.
That's what you get for assuming. This isn't Mayberry. It is what it is and will probably be different tomorrow. I never was an Outlaw (or wanted to be), so I can't compare. I have heard the stories though. Are you still a member even after several of your 'friends' were banned in to oblivion? If so, aren't you being a hypocrite by doing so and getting on your soap box now? Life is too short to worry about such petty stuff (and this is one of those times).
I'm not defending TC, just stating my thoughts. He owns MME (for whatever that is worth), the rest of us (mods included) do not. I don't agree with everything that has transpired, but such is life.
This is not a club. It is and always has been a benevolent dictatorship. Well... some of the dictators are less benevolent than others, but you know what I mean. Please don't send money if you don't like the show, as it's not gonna buy you a vote.
We don't ban people... So far I only know of two folks - Rory & Machismo... Both of whom were banned for creating FOUR accounts. Each. There were plenty of warnings. For all other offenses we're just mean. It's a temporary thing and it goes away.
Where's Rodney King when you need him?
Here... ;)

What did I miss, I am not ready to give up my whipping boy title
Sorry... our standards for whipping boy have been modified by the recent crop of quality recruits from the east side...
Mick would currently disqualify you purely because you live west of DFW airport. I'll add that you play a mean acoustic guitar, can write a good tune, and have an IQ not to be confused with your shoe size.
Now.... were you to put some neon orange bull horns on the hood of the Miata...
Nah... even that wouldn't do it. Not after Rory calling me on my PHONE to swear to me he wasn't Rory. Funniest phone call EVER! So upset I couldn't record it. I was in tears.
Someone's posts got killed and BR has a sandy vag over it...
Hell, someone kills my avatar when I put up the one with Jerry Springer and the two big busty women but you don't see me calling people gay for hating the beautiful women in the avatar enough to remove it. ::Banana::

It's always been a dictatorship here. TC pays the majority of the bills, owns the stuff, and we just give a pittance to help with the hosting, server, mainentance, and software costs.
In my defense I did not start this thread, but mearly posted a question in another thread.
Dangit!! I hate being late to the party... fashionably late is one thing. You know, five, ten, maybe fifteen minutes. But damn, 4 pages later! Argh!
So... what I miss? ::BaHump::::Banana::::db2::
