Perhaps it was just a wrong choise of words in his post.
Perhaps I'm too naive and always give people benefit of the doubt.
The lynch mob mentality of this forum lately, not just with Diamond, is really PISSING ME OFF.

maybe im too nice but i dont think this guy did anything wrong. I dont know his history because i wasnt around here but if it is as terrible as everyone is making out then i think he has changed a lot. He hasnt hurt anyone and was expressing real concerns.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and he thinks the exhaust sits too low. He never said anything bad about the performance, or quality.

You are right, Diamond could have misspoken about his status although the statements about whether he is still in med school or his residency did seem wildly inconsistent with one another. But, in any event, these were ferreted out after he announced his intention to leave so I suppose that they are besides the point.

I guess I didn't know who Diamond was until I read about him this week. Doesn't seem like a bad guy. Diamond if you like the car then keep posting. 
Who cares what others say?

Tony, while I wasn't privy to (nor the victim of) any of Diamond's previous rantings, posts, and bannings, I can understand the sentiment from those who have. Everyone has a right to feel the way they do. I don't understand why, after Rudy had gathered us to welcome him back, he chose to leave the forum like this. No, I am not joining the lynch mob (if any exists) but I am sure many members have come and gone and I am guessing that most that left did so quietly without needing a rambling "woe is me" thread to do it.
Yes, everyone has problems, no one's life is perfect, there is no need to publish it publicly. We each bear our cross, it is the individuals choice to do it with dignity or not.

Did somebody say lynch mob!?! Yay! I'm in! I've even got some extra torches (actually just a relatively large collection of oil-soaked rags and sharp sticks I like to keep handy) if anyone else needs one. Let me know. I'm generally more of a bandwagon type, but my friends have been telling me I need to explore new avenues. Keep us safe in your dreams America.
