    Trolls?

    BlueThunderPerf

    Marauder131

    detroitmercury

    Can the mods please check into these identities (trolls?) and deal with them accordingly.

    I'll never understand the effort put forth by certian people. To go through so much effort to concoct a bogus identity and mislead this community is a clear indication of a conflicted mind.

    These three come around here with one off and/or high performance Marauders and seem to dodge the simple questions.

    I believe 1 & 3 might be, but #2 is not.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    Rest In Peace:

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    I may agree with you, but why do you say so? I'm fairly sure he's from Canada, and there may be a language complication that makes his responses read differently, but that is a maybe. You seem sure, why?

    Even veteran members dodge simple questions at times.

    Remember when we all signed up? Only a valid email address is required. No additional proof of identity is demanded. We don't even require a location, though it's always helpful.

    For some, it's intentional and a game. For others, they may not be Internet or Forum savvy. They stand or fall on their responses to our questions. They either disappear or come and hang with us as we get to know each other.

    If they are trolls, y'all are handling the job well. If they aren't trolls, they'll eventually provide the "proof" to get us on board, or disappear because we pulled the Welcome Mat. There's nothing Moderators can do since they're not violating Board policy.

    Right behind you on this one.... It's our nature to be slightly skeptical when we hear something out of "the norm," this "norm" we created ourselves. It peeks our curiosity. We've become such a solid, cohesive group here (well, most of the time), that we're more eager to jump to conclusions. Marauder131's odometer shot backs up his statement.

    Marauder131: please pardon our inquisition.

    Time will tell I guess.

    Mary, I was only concerned for the site overall. Misleading post or threads are useless.

    You guys say give Mr. Marauder 131 some slack? Ok, hes got it - for now.

    I can handle that too. First impressions, eh?

    If Charlie and I were standing side by side looking at this scenario like a common street stop, we would agree that the driver's pockets are clean, and his story (while kind of off center) is cool.

    Say one more wrong word, and everyone gets cuffed and we'll be "pulling seats". Am I right, Charlie?

    Not at all a problem, Charlie, and I agree. Trolls expose themselves sooner or later, so a little help hastens the process. We also don't want to offend N00bs with good intentions.
