Who could John Bennett be??? I thought this after reading the first post from John Bennett. -----Original Message----- From: James coyne [mailto:tecnosound@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2016 1:56 AM To: John Bennett; Nathan Giles Cc: detomaso@detomasolist.com; Larry Finch Subject: [DeTomaso] NPC -Dear Mr. John Bennett Dear Mr. John Bennett , Can you explain why the things that are being discussed on this non POCA forum are so upsetting to you when you have not participated whatsoever on a single topic either Pantera related or non-Pantera related over on the POCA forum ? (of which you claim to be a member of ) You were invited on this forum to share some photos of your car and its unique features but you have not . Nor did you respond when the topic of discussion was your very car . But yet you complain about non-Pantera related topics . ( Which on this forum , we note with the header NPC . ) Date: Wed, 29 Jun 2016 20:33:31 -0700 From: jbennett111@zoho.com To: nathan.giles@ex3.com CC: detomaso@detomasolist.com; fresnofinches@aol.com Subject: Re: [DeTomaso] Is Laurie's statement truthful? Thank you Nathan! Oh My God. What is wrong with you people? I didn't realize that this list was about as non Pantera related as it gets. I just joined this Pantera club with my original GTS; yes there is a GT in the VIN, and get subjected to this rhetoric? This has got to be the biggest form of online bullying, and Man-Child like behavior that I have ever witnessed in my life, from all sides! No matter what Mr. Shortt has done in the past, you people who disparage him make you all no better. I was emailed some of his posts from 9 years ago; yes vulgar, and insulting, to say the least; I do not agree, but how pathetic that you have to dig up emails on someone from that long ago to prove your point. I have been sent personal emails from people outlining their grievances, and giving me reasons why I should defect from the club that I just joined? I was notified that some of the chapters are planning to secede from the national club, and that it is the chapter presidents arranging the little coup d'etat. Then this email here slamming a person who just volunteered to be a new editor and letting us know of the shady practice by the previous editors; I now wonder myself if they were on the printers payroll. At least they are gone. No wonder you have these issues, anyone would be abrasive and discontent after getting bullied in this manner. Likewise, Mr Shortt should not be unprofessional and abusive as the representative of a national organization. That is just not acceptable. Curious? Do you all spend every waking hour behind the keyboard of your computers and devise ways to "get back" at someone? Do you sit there and write things about someone from the safety of your home, make accusations, and point fingers because it makes you feel like a man? It is not what men do. There is a list of possible mental disorders that can be the only explanation. Shame on you, and Go Nancy, an absolute peach. Who is destroying the Pantera club? Look within yourselves, and point your fingers inwards. All of you on both sides! Now yes as Nathan so gracelessly stated can we please get back to the cars? Thank you for ruining my first club experience.
