Diesel Stop Censorship? No, never there!

This will get me banned off of the Ford site, but I really don't care. I think I have around 17 posts there over the past 3 or 4 years. Talk about an insecure bunch there at the Diesel (Pansy) Stop. They remind me, not all, but some, of a bunch of stupid little school girls wooried about who is wearing what or talking to whom ever.

I drive a semi, I see 6.0's broke down too often for comfort. I worked for Ford. I have long standing relations with "Glass House" employees, most forced into early retirement (Old White Guys). I, and they, have issues. I have owned a few Fords. Enough said.

The PM from our favorite censor Super Dooper I am on my 3rd buyback ran over my wife John:

Sir,

99% of your posts are abusive and antagonistic to Ford Truck owners. One of your posts even suggests you're here to dispel pro Ford rumors.
I consider your posts of the trolling nature and ask that you tone down the anti Ford rhetoric.
We won't accept a member constantly bashing Ford, especially since you don't even own a Ford truck.

I'm doing this in a PM so we don't include other members, if you chose to bring this up in the Forums and accuse me of "Blue Blood Ford" or "censuring you", I'll have no choice but to delete your posting privileges. Again, we're not going to allow personally soap box forum type posting.

Thanks,
Super Duty John

The Reply:

John,

I don't really quite know how to reply to this? I worked for Ford, they paid my bills till a few months ago. I would like to see Ford straighten up their act, as they do review this site. Aren't you on your 2nd or 3rd buy back right now?

I have made no personal attacks on any members that I can recall. I have many years of history with Ford, and I have owned ford trucks in the past, I just don't now. I did try to purchase a 6.0, but all 3 that I test drove had trouble making it out of the dealers lot, Palmer Ford, in Chelsea MI. Hell the wife was getting ready to ring my neck if she heard one more thing about how great the new 6.0 was going to be!

I am sorry that you are offended sir, I just don't know what else to say. I will try to be more civil, and pro Ford, but with my family history going back to Henry Sr. and Bennet, plus my years at Ford and working with many in upper Ford managment, it is difficult not to get to facts when challenged. Ford don't care! If you knew what went on in the engineering depts. in Dearborn, you would be driving another brand, trust me.

I'll try to clean it up and maybe lie a little so you all FEEL GOOD, as to not offend any of the many thin skinned persons who might own a Ford truck. Talk about an insecure bunch. You should let us slam Ford here, maybe you would get a reliable product.

And yes, I sound like an sarcastic ***, but how would you reply to a message such as this?

And no, I'm not going to cry aloud about this here. I know how sensitive Ford people are. I own an 03 Dodge 2500 CTD, 00 Toyota Tacoma, 04 Jeep Liberty Renegade and a 99 Monte Carlo LS. Why tell you what sits in my driveway, because there ain't no Ford. Hell, I should have gone postal by your standards by now, no?

Well, I almost did, but I got rid of the Fords! I did have to replace a battery and an axle seal in the Monte at 98,000 miles. That ALMOST sent me over the edge!

Mike
