Im sorry that you felt so strongly about things that you gave up your moderator position and are now deciding to leave the community altogether. I wish you wouldnt take things so seriously.
I mean you NO disrespect Joel, you know I was always on your side, but I think you lost sight of whats important in life and let a few bad apples with differing opinions get to you. Ive been there before myself, so trust me when I say, it just isnt worth it. Take a break, remove the link to SM from your favorites, find some other place to go for a while. Then come back and make it about the car...not the place.
If that doesnt happen then I wish you well in life and many happy roads ahead.
