OK, I'll admit it, I was slightly dismayed that what I felt was a very helpful thread on American Honda Sales that I started yesterday was closed in a very short time: (as rocky so artfully commented) "..This thread like so many here, has gone way off the road, into the woods and isn't going to get out anytime soon."
While I was disappointed in the closed thread, more importantly, it motivated me to put into words some things I have been feeling about the 5th Gen Honda Owners Club.
This "club" has become painful to participate in...actually, sadly, it has been this way for some time now. I bet many of us feel this way.
What is causing this? One guess is that many posters here attack each other, rather than discussing the ISSUES. When replying to another club member, I would ask that we all PLEASE read what we have typed BEFORE hitting the "submit" button. Read it out loud and see how it sounds, and how you would feel after reading it if it were a reply to your post.
There really is no valid reason to antagonize each other here. Take it to a PM if you feel it is absolutely necessary...
It is really OK, and encouraged, to have a difference of opinion, but PLEASE let's not attack each other.
At this point, I think that The Club "...has gone way off the road, into the woods....."
PLEASE, let's all work to make it a more enjoyable place to exchange thoughts and ideas.
Thank you.
