Some of you know that this guy is really rude and insulting to just about anyone who drops by the Boxster Forum and doesn't own a Boxster. It doesn't matter how polite the visitor is, there's Magic Mt. Dan with some antagonistic comments.

A few weeks ago, there was a mostly friendly "Battle of the Sports Car Forums", which started when Yahoo ran a poll on what the best sports car was. Several rubber bullets were shot to and fro, but that was weeks ago.

So, I'm wondering why I'm still getting e-mail from this guy. 3 e-mail messages arrived last night. These comments are not meant to demean Boxsters, or our friends on the Boxster Board, but it seems to me that this guy needs to take a chill pill. Here they are, for anyone who cares:

Hey Brad, I've waited a while to respond. I can take it because I can dish
it out. I'm confident that I'm not rude to visitors to the Boxster board.
What I am is tired of all the S2000 and Audi TT people who come by and stay
too long and crap up our board. I don't mind you guys visiting but the petty
BS postings about how great your economy sports cars are gets very old very
fast. When you all wear out your welcome I lettem know it's time to go.

By the way. I like your Audi TT. It's cute just like the new Beetle. Good
luck trying to get people to think it's as good as a Boxster. And I wish you
well trying to keep up with them if and when you go on a Malibu Canyon "Fun
Run."

PS: thanks a lot for coming onto the Boxster Board and giving me grief -
there was no call for that. By the way, I still think you're a ********.

Here's the 2nd message:

I got a bunch of e-mails back when you were busy taking shots at me. None
of them were very flattering to you. Here's one that I can share with you
(name is changed to protect the innocent):

You're still a ********...

Here's the 3rd message:

Here's a funny one I got about your squashed Beetle...

Brad this guy really isn't worth your grief. Set up a kill file and he'll eventually go away.

I don't think it's fair to slam the Boxster folks, as a lot of them are pretty decent guys. So I don't think that they, or their cars, are low class. However, I'm hoping that perhaps MMD will consider chilling out.

We are never upset for the reason we think.
