So quick back story I posted an extra set of headlights up on one of the Subaru boards and this dude who is obviously trolling for IM and E-mail addresses picks up on it and sends me an IM request saying he has questions on the kit. I figure it's BS but I play along and here is part of the resulting conversation (I especially like how "exploiting clients" is his job)...

So I post this up on one of the Subaru boards and the thread gets DELETED. I PM one of the Mods and ask why and they say it was deleted for being RACIST (apparently because I used the word "Chinese"). Um, if you look at the top of the IM window... the website referenced ends in ".cn" for the less net savvy that means "China". So that would make this person... that's right CHINESE! :durr Just like someone from Japan is... Japanese. I PM'ed the Mod back and told them that they were going a little overboard on the whole political correctness thing. I'll probably be banned by morning, but if their mods are that f'in stupid... there's really no point in being a part of that forum.
