Released From Purgatory

[Buckeyejake]

The powers to be at this website feel I have done my time and offered me an olive branch to return.

As a beginning member and moderator I was filled with hope. Today, I do not have those same feelings.

This website only allows "feel good" comments. Thus I regretfully decline returning.

As long as there is hope, then telling an optimist they are wrong (or idiots) is pointless. Optimists would rather focus on the good things. The positives. After all, regardless of how many times you fail at something, if you keep trying, eventually you will be successful. Most of us are hoping that Paul Elio keeps trying until he is successful.

There is a difference between constructive criticism and non-constructive criticism.

But,,,, you 'returned' enough to comment? What?

It's like going back to see family you haven't seen for ten years. The family that lives there really doesn't notice that your uncle has got a really lame comb over and your aunt is 80% grey. It sure comes as a shock for you though. Their house that seemed OK now looks really dated. Plus that console TV from 1988 really needs to go. You can't help but comment.

I was in China for 5 months and came back. All I found is Elio in worse condition and out of the 20 regular posters here it went down to 10. Then it's just rehashing the same old info or just talking about other things. This forum could just shut down like a restaurant during the summer in ski country. Go on vacation for 4 months and reopen. Most likely, the same old story but at least everyone will have 4 months of postings pent up and ready to type (I know one particular poster comes to mind).

I'm hoping that he quits trying and gives someone else a chance before it is too late

I understand your anger and your decision.

Like it or not, most of us have lost hope.
If Elio dies, few will be surprised.
If Elio actually makes it to production, most will be shocked.

It's really too bad. I was looking forward to driving my Elio.

I'm still here, too!
And still simply waiting. What will ultimately come of all this I do not know, but I'm not wringing my hands or twisting my undies in a bunch over any of it.

I do feel apathetic towards this whole project, however, and that's never a good thing.
