Fellas I hate to say it but you are beating a dead horse,Bill is going to be persona non grata. In someones askewed sense of reality approving posts before they go public is not banning someone..... remember Bill can post at anytime, perhaps he has been all along but Sean has deemed none of them fit for public viewing, problem is there are 3 maybe 4 people that will ever know.

Also, it's good to know that we can report people enough times to get them to moderated status... perhaps we can make Bill some friends :poke:

FWIW, Bill has made one post since being put on the moderation list and it was approved:

Yeah, and his password could have been revoked after he made that post.

Dang. I just realized my fuel pump failure is what triggered Seans comment about trying a mechanical fuel pump (which didn't offend me, I got a kick out of it), which offended Bill, and started this whole mess.

I've learned my lesson. From now on I'm not talking about fuel pumps.

For what it's worth I'm a mod on a web site and the last thing you should do is make a public offering as you have, poor taste to say the least in my opinion.

Either take your issue up with Sean via PM or e-mail or address the owner of the site and allow them a chance to handle any perceived problem as they see fit.

If they (the owner(s)) don't have a problem with their mod's then you have the option of keeping quite or pounding salt.

Sean and I have had a disagreement or 2 but have always been handled via PM, his job is not an easy one with cry babies trying to sway him this or that way on a topic.

The fact that this thread is up and running shows Sean does all he can to make things fair. To quote from and old song, "You can't please everyone so ya got to please yourself"!

So if you've not done so yet, be a man, take up your issue with Sean or the owner privately or move along.

Sean has a job to do that requires discretion, discretion you or someone will not always agree with.

Well, now let's see: I have owned a DeLorean since 1982. I have 200,000 miles under my belt driving a DeLorean. I have driven in 42 of the lower 48 states, 3 Canadian provides, and have driven 2000+ mile round trips over 30 times! I admit that I am a mechanical klutz and an electrical idiot, but that doesn't mean that just because i don't' post much that I don't count.

I read the posts almost daily, but I must admit, my reading is selective, based upon the title of the thread.

Given all of that - - - IF YOU THINK I DON'T COUNT WITHIN THE DELOREAN COMMUNITY, YOU ARE EITHER AN IDIOT OR THE MOST SELF-CEMTERED PERSON I HAVE EVER MET.

SORRY ABOUT THE RANT. I I DON'T SUFFER FOLKS LIKE YOU VERY WELL.

I have a life: get one - you might actually enjoy it!

SEAN, you are okay in my books.

Mine too. Sean and all the mods are providing a service and giving a lot of their time and effort so we can all have a civil place to share thoughts, information and experiences. Thank you Sean.

I'm pleased with the new forum, and especially the new rules about off topic posts.

A big thanks to all the mods, and a message to Bill if he still reads here - it would be great to have you back.
