Sometimes I think some things get taken out of context to the outside observers. Some of the NELOC guys know each other real well, so there's lots of inside jokes among them. Don't read too much into that stuff. I guess in the end, it could seem kind of clique-ish, but trust me, we're not.
Sha, give us another chance, man. Come on out to some meets. I assure you in person, we have a good time. All this forum sh@#! is nonexistent in person...at least not at the NELOC events.

It's all getting worked out, we're we'll be that day. We'll probably be at a couple of different locations. Stay tuned.

Kevin, I agree completely, the mods have been doing a great job and I can't wait to meet some more NYC and non NYC guys, I've only been a member of CL for less than a year but have met countless members. Had a great time at LexFest last year even though I didn't know much of what I was looking at then, lol. Even stopped through the SELOC meet this past Friday night down in NC so it's really on each person to get out of this what they want.
Malik, I'll take some water, just some of that dirty brown water please. And take that mean bulldog any day over two men playing dress up
for the ladies
ummm two men in robes and helmets
lol

Plex, though I am limited with my work obligations and am on the road most of the time, want you to know and I have said this before, that I am willing to help/contribute in any way I can. I have only been to the AC meet as well as the Mini meet we had in Md this past weekend and there has been nothing but love for this group. Saddens me that this thread had to be started and some of the members here could find nothing better to do than complain to the moderators about personal problems that they are having with another member and not handling it themselves. There is such a thing as public humiliation, but this is not the place to do so. If there is a problem with someone, speak up to that someone and handle it like the men we are suppose to be. These negative feelings and post only succeed to bring the rest of us down.

You really don't know someone based on internet posts, nor do you truly know someone just by attending bbq meets and passing one another like a breeze in the night. We do not live parallel lives. We have varying lifestyles, careers, education, financial status, culture, etc. Their are folks that profess "I am cool with blh blah blah., Do you guys truly know who your friends are? Your true friends have your back through thick or thin. Even when true friends no longer speak to one another, and something catastrophic occurs, rue friends would put aside their differences and step up to the plate to help that friend out. That is a true friend. On this forum as Sha mentioned, their are folks that take sides. No need to validate who your cool with, it speaks for itself. When the crap hits the fan, does that person have your back as well? This dissention crap is disapponting and childish. Since the MODS were mentioned on a post in this thread by someone, the MODS need to put friendships aside with other members and moderate NELOC without bias. With thats said, we are all grown men and woman( CAT). We need to conduct ourselves as such PLEASE!
Damn, I seriously must be skimmin' alot of posts because I can't recall all this posturing and people takin' sides. But since so many of you have seen it here in NELOC, I will assume it exists.
I will pronounce this about me: I never need to say "who I'm cool with" in this forum, because I am cool with everyone. But if you have a problem with me, PM me please. It's that simple.
Having said that, strong friendships will develop for obvious reasons and already have developed. Since some know others better than others, it would be natural for friends to ban together. It's just natural. I mean, really, if you are having WEEKLY meets, you gotta become pretty good friends. And so you begin to really know each other well.
Look: we're soon going to become a family, our bonds strengthened by more than just Lexus ownership. It's already happened. When you become a tight-knit group, sh@#!s gonna flare up. It's the reality within any group or organization or family. It happens. Expect it. But in the end, it's not about the conflict, it's how you handled it. If we act like grown folks, we'll weather it all. If we act like bickering school girls, it will crumble.
It's our choice, individually and collectively.
im def. staying with you guys and i def. want to meet some of the cats that i havent already met. ive already met most of the ppl that stop by TODDS house last year even if they dont remember me. ill be back up the way this summer so ill make a couple of meets.all thev MODS are cool in my book and i think they do the best job they can. i def. want to see what CARLOS has done to the whip
