All,
I have received some private comments concerning my current “Member Title” on my posts. I am well aware of the meaning of “distress” symbolized by the upside down flying of the flag.
My intention was and still is not to offend anyone on this forum. This is especially true of our current and former armed forces service men and women. I hold these individuals as the pinnacle of patriotism and self sacrifice for the protection of all of our liberties and freedoms.
My avatar is a direct response to a certain individual who continues to use this forum as a means to demonstrate his political ideologies. I do not come to this forum to have someone disrespect our president and our country. There are many forums that cater to political commentary, the PI Forum is not for these types of statements.
This forum is supposed to be about our shared enjoyment of all things DeTomaso. It is a fantastic resource for me. And I have had the pleasure to get to know many of you through this forum.
However, as long as others continue to use the PI Forum as a personal expression of their political agendas, I will follow their example.
Jeff
