Why I Won't Rejoin

[MickeyD]

Gentlemen, a member recently posted a thread about an item he was selling on other sites in the General Postings. I as probably many others, took no offense that he was trying to skirt the rules. The conversation and subsequent replies were of the performance of the item. Moderator then scolded, moved and shut thread down. The thread right next to this was doing the same thing with a car. Had multiple replies and price was discussed many times. This same type of thing happened to me about 6 years ago. I was treated differently than the "well liked" members who were attacking me. After that I didn't rejoin. I think we are grown men here and abide by the rules for the most part. I don't think we need to be protected by moderators to save us from such a "horrible infraction." All the moderator needed to do was move the thread. But close it, geez. I know the OP from the Z community for the last 6 years. He's a great guy will no ill will towards anyone. Definitely not the kind of guy who would break rules on purpose. At least the mods could dole out their justice equally. I'm sure this thread will be closed and no one will be allowed to reply. I will probably also be banned, but after watching this for 7 years and experiencing the preferential treatment for some, that's fine.

I have a sneaky suspicion this is about something else.
