    Please give me a list. No one has left and I've explained the life cycle of users that after 2-3 years there's no reason to be here day in and day out. You've already seen almost everything. Some of the most respected people in the Ferrari world are now on the site. I'm sorry, but we're much much better off than when the respected users were only people like you, Ed, and JR attacking people all day.

    Bruce, why so angry? Why have you been attacking FC the past few months? Are you missing Carbon? Has your battery sales to FC users declined? Are you sick of explaining your all caps postings?

    Look at yourself man and your comment above along with others. What gives?

    FCHAT is the best
    Ferrarichat has come a long way

    it is the greatest Ferrari website available

    Allan "endowed challenged", JRV "jerkoff", Matt "the don" Lemus now "sam samsonite", and Michael Alpert "gary green gordon michael alvarez" are all on the other website (www.listentomeferrari-talkaboutmyself.com) acting as the losers they are and have always been. all the cancer is gone.

    Fchat has the quality

    great job Rob

    I was hoping BRUCE would answer you, but I guess not. I don't know him but I agree, he seems sour. At any rate Rob, your site is a great asset to the Ferrari community and to me it seems a great group of people that have assembled around it. Thank you, John

    I think the site it awesome, and I think you are incredibly responsive. There is always room for improvement, but we all realize you recognize where the work has to be done, and are striving to purposefully implement positive changes.

    Bravo, I say.

    FOR EXAMPLE GO TO THE TRI-STATE REGION OF NY NJ AND IT HAS BEEN TAKEN OVER BY,,,,WELL YOU KNOW WHAT..MAKE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT.AND SEE FOR YOUR SELF.

    ALSO, NO BATTERY SALES ARE DOWN FOR F-CHAT PEOPLE HERE, I GUESS SELLING BATTERIES TO PEOPLE ON YOUR SITE FOR COST,TO HELP OUT THEIR FINANCIAL MEANS,,,WAS TO MUCH OF A GOOD THING...SO WITH YOUR SARCASTIC COMMENTS ABOUT ME, KEEPING IT OPEN ON A PUBLIC FORUM FOR 10K PEOPLE NOW.......THERE WILL BE NO MORE BATTERY DEALS FOR F-CHAT PEOPLE BECAUSE OF YOUR COMMENTS,,,,,,,,,

    Bruce, again, your response just confirms my first post that much more. What was the theme of that first post? ...a grouchy complainer that doesn't do anything for the improvement of the community. Take your own advice, it really blows my mind how you have bashed FC the past few months without a single phone call, email, or PM to me. I'm not going to take it form you any more. Yes, you've been great for the community offering your batteries and hosting get togethers at your house. You've also had your shining moments jumping on anyone with under 10 posts and other troll like behavior. Hey, we all have our personalities and I respect and give much room for it here, but when you start taking shots at FerrariChat.com with nothing of benefit backing it up, then you shouldn't be so surprised I challenge you on it.

    Come on, stop your childish whimpering post about the NY region, your eye surgeries, and selling your batteries at cost. You really think I didn't know anything about that? If you think I'm going to let you get away with taking pop shots at FerrariChat.com, then you don't know me very well. FerrariChat.com is a very large community, but I take anything about the soul of it very personally. I appreciate everyone that gives me suggestions and feedback as they care about improving the community. Your comments and attitude in this thread are nothing but a detriment to FerrariChat.com. Please, no hard feelings, but you needed to be put back in line. Work with me and not against me, this is "ours".

    I am speechless. Rob, did somebody hack into your password and post this reply? I think you need to suck-it-up and apologize to Bruce. I'm not even going to keep typing my thoughts on your reply....I'm shocked.

    Maybe you should see if someone has hacked into Bruce's account lately. No one is above the law here. I respect people for the good things they do, which Bruce has done much. However, I know people would be more disappointed and shocked if I didn't stand up for this community. What are you so speechless about? That I have a backbone and do what's best for the overall community? I'm actually shocked now peters at your response. Please explain yourself more, as it baffles me.

    How often do you ever see me get on someone's case? The answer is hardly ever and that means much considering over 2,000 unique registered users visit the site each day. It simply takes someone to make constant negative comments about our community without any other feedback or suggestions for improvement. That's not good for the community and the people that care about this community are thankful I don't put up with it.

    Are you telling me Peters that you personally would have put up with it?

    Guys, save for highly entertaining troll b!tch-slappings (courtesy of Sensei Bruce), I've seen time and again on other forums that is best to resolve Adminstrative/Membership beefs through PM or email. Doesn't matter who fires the first salvo there. This allows those actually involved to "be part of the solution, not part of the problem," without Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder Mass Hysteria affecting the knowing and unknowing, and vice-versa. When all is said and done, our Fearless Leader Rob remains Fearless on this massive houseboat we're happily motoring along on.

    Like the Fonz said, "Cool it!"
