Yes I voted against you joining the club.

So, I have been doing some Facebook page research and I have come to a couple of conclusions.

1) Moderators are a must

2) Hot button topics can and should be curtailed quickly

3) Generally, the same people will blow up a thread no matter the subject

4) Certain topics are moronic and as such... delete before they go much further

5) Fan boys are dangerous and counter productive to any organization.

Now, my opinion of the recent events has not changed. I still vehemently disagree with the deletion of historical references to the club's past but I see a need for some monitoring of the conversations going on within the page.

I think the real challenge going forward will be to recognize the difference between history and all of its warts and what will be the club's image in the near future. It is impossible to erase the past but a wise "person" learns from it.


As a point of reference, I engaged the fan boys on a BMW site over the last week. Some intentional, some.... well .. Zen kicked in. The moderators jumped in when personal insults went ballistic, as they should have, but generally let the discussion wear itself out. No harm, no foul.

But today I stumbled in to a completely moronic discussion. It was apparent that the moderators had heard this discussion one too many times, the same discussion had been deleted the day before........... imagine my delight upon realizing all of this.............

"If'n a fake M badge were on your chin... where would my **** be" basically, completely Fan Boy batshit stupid discussion and none of these numbnuts see the irony in their argument.

The moderators let it run its course until a drug reference came up. Deleted. Bam. Could have been a coincidence as it was around five PM and maybe the moderator just got around to reading the thread, don't know.

My point being, the membership of this particular page accepts this as normal behavior. They have realized that the page has got out of hand and sometimes a moderator has to shut it down. They, the moderators, obviously never anticipated the depth of douche that was possible within their orbit and as such are constantly playing catch up when dumb ass fan boy shit pops up.

This particular BMW page is advertised as a general all inclusive site but the post are mostly wheels, wax, and stancing. In other words, very one dimensional. I see the same thing already with the THSCC page. Haven't we been to several HPDEs already this season? I haven't seen anything on the FB page about any of those events that I remember.

How about the minutes of the meetings? Forgive me but the drive from here to there is probably longer than the average meeting, and.. well I'm just not that into AutoX to make the trip. I'd really like to hear what you megalomaniacs are discussing in my absence.

Make Facebook work for all of us please, I'm thinking it might bring the Club back together. To be sure, it is broken right now...........
