Tl;Dr;
Off topic posts are off topic, 30% off topic/'unwelcome' means 70%, a super majority, on topic / 'welcome'.
Rather than quit due to 'threat' where the only possible action is removing ability to post, one can dial it back in the thread that is being addressed.
Long version:
It is said there are n sides to a story: what each person's experience was, and what really happened.
Here is mine (a non-mod)
Regarding the tweet
Wiffle bat? Gunfight? It's a forum, with threads, that anyone can start.
But sounds bad, right? Premptively warnings? Well, she already told us about that warning:
Mar 15
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
Was that a spontaneous warning? No, previous car centric posts:
Feb 24 Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
Feb 30 Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
Mar 4: Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
Mar 5 Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
Each of which spawned replies.
Regardless of who's car it is, is a single delivery on topic for this thread?
Regarding the residual signature:
First off, we don't know what the actual wording was. Second, 25% to 30% unwelcome means 70% to 75% welcome.
Those who have been here longer than 2017 know the side tracks that have happened to this thread.
Is being told to keep things in this thread focused (and I say this thread since mods have limited domains) wrong?
Was this helpful or informative at all? Only one person voted yes.
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
There is this from Friday, which again spawned multiple responses (which of which were deleted, including her response that explains the joke):
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019-2020 Investors' Roundtable
One person (the same one) rated it informative, the rest like, love, or funny.
Which was shortly followed by
Note that KR is in the likes on that post.

Be safe out there
i’ve been here since 2012, this is the only thread I follow and have time for, because it’s the only thread that discusses the state of affairs regarding TSLA and Tesla the company in near realtime. (I cannot even find the main Coronavirus thread, after searching for 10 minutes!).
This group of moderators has done this forum a huge disservice. Paying members are dropping out left and right, the number of posts has gone down significantly and this will likely continue.
It’s a shame after all these years!
