And honestly, your "position" disgusts me more than anything she has ever said.
At least you own a Porsche. My "position" is as a long time Porsche owner. 99.99% of the people here own Porsche's. This person is the only one that I can remember who is here on a very regular basis who has no relationship what so ever with a Porsche other than having a boyfriend who owned one. Remember my friend, this is a PORSCHE FORUM, not craigslist.

How do you feel it would go over if one or more of us went to a Ferarri, Maserati or other expensive sports car forum. Became a member and posted only in the off topic section, then becoming a bit radical (in many people's viewpoint) and ranting and raving to the point where several threads are closed because of them.

Do you feel that the long time members of these forums would embrace a person like this with open arms? I belong to a Jaguar forum and we have had a couple of "hangers on" type of people join who did not own that model car. After a few months and some snide comments the moderators emailed the person involved that unless they purchased a car that fit in the forum, or were actively looking for a car like that, that to be in the forum only to cause trouble or be difficult was not needed and that they were on probation.

I really did not have a problem with her being here until she started posting crap that got several threads closed. There were others on those threads that were not finished with their discussion but because of the crazy chick that ended. I am all for discussion but when a non-Porsche owner (or even enthusiast) is causing things on the bulletin board to be closed, then its time someone asks what in the world is going on here.
