This action is certainly a tribute to the creditability of this board and highlights the shifty-ness of this seller.
Quite frankly, I think Pelican has a very good policy to not allow any comments on cars for sale. Who cares about the opinions here of viewers ? Most of the malidiction is started by the same people just to be controversial. It's not like members here have driven to the S Registry showroom and test-driven these cars for sale and then given their opinions. It's rubbishish-in & rubbish-out.

If only a few people create the "controversial" comments, then regular users learn to take what they say with a grain of salt. I believe the tough love attitude of this board keeps it from becoming ebay. And besides, a little controversy never hurt anyone. Bottom line, if you are going to post a car for sale here, you better have your stuff together and can describe every flaw or non-original part or be prepared for that "tough love."
malediction.............another new word................
mal·e·dic·tion
NOUN:
1] invocation of evil; a cursing; curse or imprecation; opposed to benediction.
2] a speaking of evil about someone; slander.
Yikes, serious sh#t.
I like the nature of this board. It is interactive, informative and entertaining the Pelican style is just a listing. The down side is it might cost the community the opportunity to view all offerings. The upside is the posters will only post accurately or suffer the wrath of the knowledgable.
As far as the malediction it is just part of the entertainment!
Jason,
Not to say anything one way or the other regarding the seller who has two 1967 S cars for sale, but my guess would be the coupe is not posted for sale by him here as it's an auction, and our rules dictate you state an asking price. Do you think that is the reason?:rolleyes:

Malediction.(SP) .50 words deserve to be spelled correctly. ;)Quote:

What was said about this car is the absolute truth and it should not have been distorted into anything hurtful as I never said it was a bad car. It is a #3 but that's not a bad thing if you understand that most of us are in 3's. NOBODY is driving a #1 car. And, as for Randy I say: "Well Sold".
Move on.
