Wow! My Thread Closed. Goodbye All

[DottandDolores]

My thread was closed for making a valid point! This is my final post and last sign in. While typing in the background banned in the USA plays by 2 live crew how appropriate.

My new threads were always related to Mitsubishi or the Mirage. 99% of my responses directly related to the Mirage.

Goodbye and good luck to those who helped us through the years.

Manual and Auto both in the 46k range.
M-47 mpg lifetime.
CVT-46 mpg lifetime.
Manual needs heat shield removed rattles occasionally. Will be getting new tires.
CVT- Deciding what to do about cvt being jerky. Otherwise needs nothing and look brand new.
5 years of ownership begin in Oct Dolores/Nov Dott.

I don't think it was anything personal...your thread was looking like it was going to go sideways as well.

@ DottandDolores and whoever it may concern:
This is so unfortunate and equally unnecessary.
I did not see you (or me either) involved in any political discussion of any sort or insult anybody, rather the opposite was the case!
I refused to enter into, and get involved in a discussion somebody was trying to start by disputing long established facts. As far as I am concerned, I will never allow myself to be drawn into an idiotic argument about if germs or viruses really exist, if the world is flat and you can fall off the disc, or rather if any other long established and fully undisputable scientific fact might be valid or not.
Yes, the earth is a globe, and I flatly refuse to argue with anybody who disagrees. This should be standard behavior for anybody past grade six. Period.

Somehow I missed the drama.

The decisions the moderators make around here are never personal.

This is a fantastic international community of people with diverse political & religious & ?? beliefs... with a common enthusiasm for the little Mirage/Space Star/etc.

We, your benevolent dictators, have made a choice to actively discourage hot-button topics in the forum because they only serve to fracture the group (and distract people from the fact that I just bought ANOTHER one of these crapcans).

So, sorry if anyone thinks that a moderated post or thread is an affront to you personally or your rights. (The forum server doesn't even live in the land of Freedom Fries!)

DottandDolores - it'll be unfortunate if you leave us. I hope you reconsider.

Let's just all keep clear of the third-rail chatter.

Yeah, I'm going to side with the mods on this one. Hands down.

The unfortunate fact of the matter is that modern political discourse (i.e. the media - traditional and social) has trained us all to present our views in such an incredibly and intentionally biased and polarizing manner that civility ends up balanced on a razor's edge, just waiting for someone to drop a trigger word before **** hits the fans and the apes go bananas. The only way to win is not to play.

Unfortunately, I don't personally see this changing any time soon.

Fun side note: I swapped my gauge cluster (USA) to one from the UK and my MPG displayed on the cluster has gone through the roof. Why? American gallons vs. imperial gallons.

[MetroMPG]

Ha! The Canadian ones use US gallons/mpg. Why the swap?

Agred on your other points. Thank you.

Agreed! Thats why I don't want to argue with anybody wanting to promote whacky, "alternative facts" or any other trash contrary to well established undisputable scientifically based knowledge.

[Fummins]

Then stfu already.

[MacClyver]

Scientific fact is NOT political.

Closing DottandDolore's previous thread did seem quite preemptive and heavyhanded.

Can’t the measurement units be changed without swapping?
