You know, when I started coming in here, it was because I loved
Ferraris. I still do. But I criticized almost everybody in here; in
fact, I was a total asshole. Maybe you remember that. I personally
drove away dozens of people. I outed people's real names, sometimes
accidentally, sometimes not. At that time, those in here tolerated me.
Now I'm glad they did.

Did it ever occur to you that a lot of us are friends now, which is kind
of nothing more than a distant desire or goal in most newsgroups? It's
been great for those of us able to meet. But it's not fun to
see/hear/listen to constant criticism. It's boring, as a matter of
fact. And basically it's just because you really don't like one of the
posters here. That person can be equally scratchy sometimes - but not
on your level. I see haughtiness, a superiority gig, even sheer
in-your-face sneer power in so many of your posts. You're smarter than
that. Nobody here cares about the big mighty words.

I hate writing this, because I actually like you quite a bit. I hope to
meet you someday soon, without worry that I have to meet your fist
first. I like to hang with people who are very intelligent and speak
their mind. People who are cultured and well-spoken. You know damn
well that there's a difference between speaking your mind and ripping
them to shreds with big words. But you can't just only rip people who
aren't like you or don't share your opinions or who don't agree with
you. What if the "faux-aristocracy" you see here consisted of *you* at
the top, and all of us the pathetic acolytes who hung on your every
word? I bet you wouldn't be ripping as hard. I think you'd be liking
it just fine.

Because I'm not an F1 expert, I don't go to the other group I know you
frequent. But I've never heard anything good about your presence there,
although I would not judge you by that. Are you the king over there?

With all due respect - and I truly mean that - if all you do here is act
all irritated and eager for target practice, I think you should start
your own Ferrari group. Alt.auto.ferraris, or the other one that has a
name similar to this one, never has a soul in it. If you started
posting there I'm sure others would show up. You could finally and
completely have it your way.

Good people who know things about Ferraris and about cars - people who
could help with the technical questions that have almost disappeared
from this group because they don't want to get the snippy-ass reaming
that almost always comes - leave here after one post. That almost says
it all. I don't know what else to say.

M

p.s. I don't want to see any "bravos" or "well-said" or any of that
shit from anybody. It sucks that I felt like I had to write this. I
feel bad.

I had one in your honour last night in Vegas. I went to the new Wynn
and dined and drank at the "Corsa" restaurant. The entire place was
read on black with F1 photos all over the wall. Food, decent but
overpriced. Booze, overpriced (Shot of Johnny Blue $45!) but tasty.

Also visited the Penske/Ferrari dealership. All the late model stuff on
display (inc. a Black Enzo) but pride of place near the entrance
(through which you must pay $10 to pass) was held by a friggin' 1990
Testarossa. Overpriced at $79k and ugly as hell in white. Yikes!

That place sounds great. I'd love to look at the photos.

I can't believe a dealership would charge $10 to walk in. That's sick.
However, a black Enzo is good-looking to me. Don't know about the
"Miami Vice" Testy. Always liked those in fly yellow, rossa corsa (of
course), black, and silver

Bravo - Well said!

tee-hee!

The real problem is that people lack any insight. I don't want to roll out
the
old 'there's good in everybody' line (partialy because it's not true), but
it
seems to me that those of us who can see behind the mask tend to stay (and
the rewards are great) but not everyone either posseses that ability or
lasts long enough to aply it.

You're right, Mike. a conversaton with MJF around is a little like
walking into a room occupied by a bad tempered dog with itchy teeth.
....and in newsgroups there are no big dogs, just snappy ones.

So Mark, how about welcoming a stranger some time, or helping
someone by giving them the benefit of your extensive knowledge, rather
than trying to make them look like fools for the sake of their ignorance.

If you did, they might stay and who knows; you might get to like them.

Almost fair, but not enough Mike. This group is titled

Other groups are available and much more appropriate for group
therapy, I am neither alone nor tight-assed about expecting this one
to me more clearly focused on the subject, history, assessment and
performance of FERRARI, as a marque and a RACING TEAM.

Blimey - get over her, Mark. You're becoming obsessesed.
All this frothy-mouthed ranting about 'faux aristocracy' in this
group and 'destroying kings' in others...

I posted this a while back. Take heed:



I Link, Therefore I am by George Simpson, Monday, Apr 25, 2005 8:17 AM EST

A WEST NYACK, N.Y. MAN was found dead at his computer apparently the victim
of trying to keep up with too many professional forums. Childress H.
Wanamaker, 54, an account executive at a New York-based new media company,
died of starvation according to the West Nyack coroner's office. Wanamaker's
emaciated body was found by Loraine, his wife of 26 years, who told
MediaPost she had been bringing her husband meals on plastic trays for
weeks, but that he never took the time to eat them.
"He was glued to his computer 24/7," she said tearfully. "He was so afraid
he was going to miss an opportunity to contribute a comment or start a
discussion, that he just stopped eating." She added that Wanamaker's last
words were "OK Picard, stick that in your pipe and smoke it..."

Computer forensic specialists from SUNY at Cortland discovered that
Wanamaker was subscribed to 48 different forums and networking communities
including one apparently having to do with the elderly called "oldtimers"
and another apparently limited to just 100 people. They also found that he
posted a comment into one forum or another on an average of two per minute
every hour of the day for the past seven weeks.

"He felt under terrible pressure to be part of the online community," said
his son, Lucian, who says he tried several times to get his father's
attention and lure him away from the computer. "The only time he even looked
up was when I told him I had seen Dane Madsen trying to steal his car out of
the driveway."

Police found what appeared to be an organization chart taped to the wall of
Wanamaker's den with lines linking small photos of people unknown to the
police including a Tom Hespos and an Adam Boettiger. Neither is considered a
suspect in Wanamaker's death.

"Once, I thought I had him," said Lucian Wanamaker, "when I said that mom
had made cookies, but half out of his chair, he just sat back down mumbling
something about two Roman gods; I believe it was Jupiter and Atlas having
some sort of titanic battle. 'Let them eat PIE,' he bellowed banging on his
keyboard."

Computer forensic specialists reported that there was no order or continuity
to Wanamaker's forum postings. "It looks like he just sort of randomly
commented on whatever was in the discussion string at the time," said
Stephen Hall, CUNY-Cortland adjunct professor of intemperate and impulsive
behavior. "He let nothing go by unchallenged by his own point of view, nor
failed to respond to any other community member asking for advice or a new
job. This consumed not only 24 hours a day, but also, apparently, his
physical health."

In what must be a record, Wanamaker was linked into to over 15,250 other
community members, many of whom he exchanged notes with daily. He also
contributed to 375 blogs and was expected to start an online column about
the impact of interactive communications on health, when he died.

A virtual memorial service will be held online at a date to be determined.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It's almost flattering, in a creepy sort of way. Do you think this will
rise to outright stalking? The poor boy can hardly post without
mentioning me, even when he starts his own threads about subjects that
have absolutely nothing to do with me specifically. I especially liked
the time that he posted what he must have imagined to be quite the
zinger and since everybody ignored him, he actually posted it again a
month later! How cute is that?

I gave him your address and phone ... sent him a ski mask and some of
those black leather man-beater gloves with the insert for quarter rolls
(like in Dirty Harry). Air fare. Complete local-area maps. Security
codes to the house and the shop. Satellite surveillance. He forced me.
If I didn't he was going to make me listen to a badly scratched
Horowitz LP repeatedly.

Sorry.
