Thanks buckeyejake. I just read on here but do not post anymore due to the fact differing opinions on the Elio are not tolerated. I have two reservations and have been all in for years but have been kicked off this site before because I have posted dissenting onions and facts. I have a long history of the auto industry and know how much time, energy and money it takes to launch a vehicle. But posting my viewpoint has just made others mad so I do not post anymore. I know that the Elio can eventually be a success and hope to receive my two sooner than later, but until then I will just continue to keep to myself. Thanks.
"........I have posted dissenting onions and facts........." what are dissenting onions? And how do you post them?

And what was your member name before?

I've seen some very pro Elio ppl on here get bashed just for posting how they are worried.

If you speculate, it better be on the very positive side. If not, put on that Flame suit.

I've also seen some mods that seem to take jabs at ppl. I've also seen some really good, neutral mods. Speaking of mods, where is goofyone? He doesn't post much anymore?

Goofyone was here at the beginning. He has taken a new job that takes up a considerable more amount of his time. He posts on here now and then.

Thanks for making me feel welcomed on this site.

Ahhh---- I think the phrase "Foot in mouth" comes to mind!
It's not so much negative posts that are banned. I've read a few. It's really a matter of How you phrase it. If for example I was to say "I'm really getting tired if waiting". I'd probably read something like "So don't wait. Go look for something else" That's not being picked on! But, if I were to say "This is bs. It ain't gonna happen"! Well then That is pushing it to much. The response from me if I were a mod would be to tell the offender to seek life elsewhere!!
It's all in How you word yourself. See??:fish2:

I've been here since the beginning of this forum. I was a moderator until I stood up for those who voiced a different opinion. I appreciate a varied view on subjects. Those who have know me for years understand I am one of the biggest supporters of this project. I just don't believe a censored forum is best for all.

So are varied views on the Elio not acceptable on this website?
Seems to be the case. Debate is healthy, otherwise may lead to Groupthink.

"Groupthink is a psychological phenomenon that occurs within a group of people in which the desire for harmony or conformity in the group results in an irrational or dysfunctional decision-making outcome. Group members try to minimize conflict and reach a consensus decision without critical evaluation of alternative viewpoints by actively suppressing dissenting viewpoints, and by isolating themselves from outside influences."
