Its only the internet. As soon as your friend realizes this he will be fine.

I used to be very active in the RX-7 community. For 4 years straight I sponsored performance driving schools for RX-7's. Most of the time putting these events on at a loss, usually about 400 to 700 bucks. Last year I let an internet friend who owned an RX-7 site convince me to make this a site event. (Like a Pelican LV retreat) I ended up loosing thousands by then end of this elaborite event. Then the same poeple that benefited from free hotels rooms and the use of MY RX-7 in a driving school were dumping on me.

I packed up my avatar and never looked back. In my opinion they lost a person that was actually contributing to the community. Not just a keyboard jockey.

BTW- When I met all these internet car guys, 90% of them were geeks that just liked to type about their cars and could not care less about driving them in a performance setting like they were intended.

I understand your friends frustration. Give him some time he will calm down.
