There is an active discussion on the " Camry vs Accord " but the " Corolla vs. Civic " it's marked as 'read only' which means that you cannot post anymore, why is this?? I don't understand why some of these are closed. It doesn't make sense to me to see these moderators close down discussions. Does anyone know about this? It's annoying sometimes because you want to post your thoughts and contribute to the discussion but it's not possible.

Replying to: jjnikk76 (Jan 26, 2005 12:52 pm)  I've seen/heard quite a bit of "ugly butt" comment on Accord. From both some on-line publications and real world people. I suspect that this may be a big contributing factor for Accord's slightly lower sales volume comparing to Camry's (giving these two are so close competitors). Note however, 05 Accord changed the color of part of its tail lights, making them nearly all red instead of red and clear. On darker color cars, this improved rear appearance quite a bit, in my opinion. The downward curve of the lights is not that obvious now. The rumor is that there will be further changes next year. It seems that Honda is aware of people's perception on this. Of course, not everyone thinks it has "ugly butt" to begin with, but it seems to get to a point that it's swaying some people's purchasing decision.

Replying to: peterpan (Jan 26, 2005 8:00 am) Obviously, there is no way that the people who post on Edmunds represent any statistically correct percentage of owners; that's your biggest problem. And for you to rely on discussion titles makes it clear that you are clueless on the history of these boards. There are zillions of Camry and Accord posts in many, many discussions in our archives that contain negative and positive comments; the standardization and specialization of discussion names is very, very recent. It's not even worth getting into with you - your premise is ridiculous and if you don't know that, you know it now. Leave it be. Post no further about this - if you have something else to say, email me. |

Replying to: jjnikk76 (Jan 26, 2005 1:01 pm) "These moderators" do not "close down" discussions for no reason. There is an automatic archiving policy in place on these boards which means that when a discussion has had no activity for some amount of time, it essentially closes itself and moves into the archives. Any discussion can be reopened by request; that is never a problem - just ask! Now, there are times when a discussion is administratively closed by the host for various reasons, the most common of which is if a discussion has gotten so off-track and argumentative it is no longer providing any value. See my next post ... |

Folks, I gotta be honest with you - you know as well as I do that we all have only so much time in the day, and the reality is that I cannot afford to keep spending all of my hosting time in this discussion. I also have all the rest of the discussions on the entire Sedans board as well as this Comparisons board to deal with and lately I am having to shortchange the rest of them to deal with this. You have a troll amongst you. Your mama did teach you not to feed the trolls, right? Yet some of you keep right on feedin'. When you let someone pull your chain and push you over the edge of civility, the chain-puller just won. Is that really what you want? I don't think so. I need for those of you who want this discussion to remain open to continue to contribute in a non-inflammatory and sensible way. Above all, you need to stop responding to the instigators and about their posts. Ignore, ignore, ignore. If you are unable to ignore, email me, but do not respond. If the instigators and responders continue to overtake this discussion, I'm going to have to shut it down. It's just a matter of logistics. |

Replying to: 03accordman (Jan 26, 2005 5:52 am) Two things here - one, these boards are not monitored in real time. I saw the post to which you refer at the same time I saw your post complaining that I hadn't removed it. For future reference, if you feel the need to call my attention to a post, you should email me. Posting about it is useless because I will see your post the same time I see the problem message. Emailing me will at least guarantee that I get to your problem when I first get into the Forums rather than find it when I happen to run into it on my usual rounds. Point two: You are responding to a classic "troll" post. The message is not a "personal attack" because it was not directed at any specific Forums member, only to a broad group of people that includes some Forums members, but no one is identified specifically. That is the hallmark of a troll. He stays right inside the lines but manages to anger others to the point where they cross the line. Don't be a sucker - don't feed the trolls. These are words to live by, trust me. |
