JTRACING Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Pretty disappointed that I can't post my General Lee build without the topic being locked. What is wrong with this country! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I agree with you. You are presenting a replica of a car not a political statement. It is unfortunate that the few can ruin it for you and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbwelda Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 yep I agree. the unfortunate thing is that right now that symbol is a sensitive and provocative thing. any post containing or referencing it will be seen as a challenge. best to give it a rest. couple months pass, no one will much care. jb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinfan5 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) I think it had more to do with what was being said than it being a General Lee, so you can thank the people on this forum that got your thread locked, that is my guess reading what Harry posted when he locked thread. Its still sad that a model could not appreciated without turning into a whee wheeing match. Edited July 15, 2015 by martinfan5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Force Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Pretty disappointed that I can't post my General Lee build without the topic being locked. What is wrong with this country! It's not only this country, it's going on over here too. The "political correctness" tends to be more and more silly for every day.

slusher Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I don't want to get anything started but it's just a model car from an 80's television show. Sorry James your thread got locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peekay Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 James, that doesn't change my opinion that it's a fantastic model, beautifully detailed and weathered. It's a shame that individual posts can't be deleted instead of shutting the whole thread down - but I guess that would be a LOT of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Pretty disappointed that I can't post my General Lee build without the topic being locked. What is wrong with this country! It's not the countrt, it's a group of people who are refusing to live in the now. Remember the past, this 2015, move on. You have a great lookin build, I hope they don't delete the pos5.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Good looking build, but as has been said already above, it wasn't the marking on the roof that got the topic locked. It was the self-righteous PC politicizing and childish comments of some of your fellow modelers that prompted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Good looking build, but as has been said already above, it wasn't the marking on the roof that got the topic locked. It was the self-righteous PC politicizing and childish comments of some of your fellow modelers that prompted it. Exactly so. BTW, I didn't get around to seeing the model until after the thread was locked. It was an outstanding model and didn't deserve any of the PC BS nonsense that slimed onto it.

bismarck Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The same people who ran down the post probably watched "the Dukes of Hazzard" as kids. What bunch of PC BS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Sorry I predicted your thread's ending, but I could see as bright as daylight where it was headed. I would have banned the greatest offenders, but that's just me. Great work, don't let the political snottiness of others ruin your achievement.

bismarck Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Yep. Don't let others who only see the world through a "politically correct" filter discourage your efforts. You built a beautiful model sir. Very nice work!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Exactly so. BTW, I didn't get around to seeing the model until after the thread was locked.

Matt T. Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The images are still there, so there's no problem with them. It's the discussion they produce. That's not your fault, or the General Lee's. Like I said on Randy's - another great build from you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daddyfink Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Dang shame, it is a nice build and a few pinheads just can't keep their internet tough guy crud out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badluck 13 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 James I am sorry to see it get locked,just a flat out shame because all you did was a simple post of a OUTSTANDING model......just isn't right.....why not just delete the stupid comments and leave the rest so and so others who appreciate the work and effort on this model can comment and praise........

IceMan Collections Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Your build is top notch, James. It's unfortunate that because one member, sarcasm or not, made a comment, the good members have to suffer. I'm wondering if he's starting a movement to not allow the General Lee in model car contests as well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detailstymied Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 so why couldn't one view the model post and then comment here? too much of a work-around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
