Subject: Re: [Ferrari] Fwd: Ferrari Forum Turns On Member With "Stolen" Car

I had a blow out on FChat a few months ago for similar reasons.  I got pissed 
that a bunch of know nothing blow hards were disparaging my client and 
mischaracterizing the - albeit criminal - actions that her husband had engaged 
in.

It did not take long before a bunch of assholes that truly know nothing about 
the case or the details started crawling out of the woodwork - bashing my 
client's husband, her, and even me. 

I remain pissed that my "friends" on FChat failed to back me up - if for no 
other reason than my decade long tenure and never ending availability to fellow 
community members.  The LEAST I expected was for people to take my back and at 
least vouch for my voracity.  I went a few rounds with Rob Lay who was little 
more than defensive and at some points nasty.

While I backed off forcing him to remove my profile, I have pretty much stopped 
posting (even when I am in a position to assist or advise) and only popped my 
head in once in the pas few months, to post a condolence message for a friend 
that recently passed.  I have even given up reading FChat most days - and I 
used to check in constantly.  Who needs to be involved with a community that is 
willing to turn their backs - or worse, attack you.  As Tony said - so 
eloquently - they can all slurp my ass.

Frankly, I don't give a hoot if Tony was running a scam - to turn the situation 
into a public lambasting on FChat is just plain wrong.  Even if the "fraud" 
angle proves true, the underlying fact would be that poor Tony fucked up his 
car (which is supposed to have been really nice).  For that alone, he needed 
commiseration, not personal attacks.  Frankly, I am not tony's insurer and 
could care less if he commits insurance fraud.  I do, however, lament the 
untimely death of any Ferrari.

I take solace in the fact that I feel that the people here are really "friends" 
any number of which I believe I could depend on to come running to my rescue in 
a time of need - or who, at the least would meet me for a meal or a drink if I 
happened to be in their neighborhood.  This is despite the fact that I have 
never personally met most of you and could probably not pick most members out 
of a line up of two.

Very possibly a scam.

However, the problem with the FChat community in general is that
too many of the members are self-appointed..

"Team America - World Police" types.

With a few of them misusing their official connections for such purposes.
