Made my last post on MCM

[Deleted]

Here's what I posted. It didn't take Harry long ta lock it down. I hope my posting this here doesn't offend anyone. I only hope that if there's someone contemplating joining there they think it over first.

This will probably be deleted before a lot of you can read it. Unless Gregg and Harry got bigger balls than I give them credit for. For that reason I'll post it on some of the other sites also.


Yes that's what it says, it's my last post here. I'm sure a lot of you will say "So what" Well it might give some of you something to think about. First a little background. I've been around here for almost 7 yrs and a member for 5 yrs. I've seen a lot of really good ppl leave this place because of some things that go on here. Now it's time for me to go. I've never been a fan of putting my full name in my sig. So I refused to do it. I think it's an invasion of my privacy and my anonymity. Because of it I was banned from posting. So I conceded and put my name up, but in Russian. There's nothing in the rules that say it must be in English. Well this wasn't acceptable to the powers that be, so someone in power went in and altered my profile and put it there for me. I found out from a former Mod that they can also go in and read your PMs. If they can do that they can also alter them to say whatever they'd like and also send PMs from your profile with your name attached. This is unacceptable to me. I belong to probably 14 other model car sites and numerous other non model sites and none of them require your full name. Makes you wonder why it's required here. Believe me there are a lot of other model sites out there that are a lot better than this place. Some have a small following, some have a pretty large membership. Their more like a family than a place to sell magazine subscriptions.

Here's a list of some of the sites I belong to.You might want to look into them. Some are by invitation only, but most are open.

I have heard some bad things about that place. I have never been there and dont plan on going. Your right Bill people got rights. Just my 2 cents.Eddie.

Bill: Great post my friend. You are right, it will probably be locked or completely gone very, very soon. Personally I have never had a problem with my full name being on a board signature, BUT. that should be your decision, not the decision of the owner or operator of the board.

I have been registered at MCM since January of 2011 and have made a total of 10 posts. I have been a member off this board since the first and have made a total of, I think, around 160 posts. That should tell you something about my comfort level on both boards. My total here of course does not include the posts I made at the old Fast Eddie board.

My reason for not posting on the MCM board is that there seemed to be a number of people who spend most of their time criticising a model or modeler and very little time posting their own builds. I don't know about you, but I learn something from EVERY thread I read. I don't have the time or desire to attempt to humiliate someone who I feel has not posted a perfect build.

Each of us has our own level of expertise. Some of us have been building for most of their life, some for a few years, others like myself have returned to this hobby after being out of it for many years. The thing to recognize is that each of us, no matter our skill, has something valuable to contribute.

I first came to the old Fast Eddie forum after lurking for a couple of months because I got the feeling of family from those posting to the board. I followed Eddie to this board because I found that my feelings we are justified. We are , to use a military and law enforcement phrase, A BAND OF BROTHERS. As long as that atmosphere is present here I will be an active member of this board.

Enough of this old man babbling. MODEL ON GUYS.
