I think there's a continuum. On one end, you have the high point authentic restoration, or original unrestored car. On the other end, you have a car that has nothing on it from a Model A except parts of the body steel. Engine, steering, transmission, suspension, brakes, even the frame isn't Model A. How can that still be a Model A? Or to take it to another extreme, I make an entirely custom car and put a Model A headlight bar on it. Is it a Model A? Which part on the car makes it a Model A above all others?

I've frequented a dozen forums. All have strong differences of opinion expressed, and the degree of moderation varies quite a bit. What opinionated comments I see here is on the mild end of the spectrum, and I see no issue in disagreement being expressed. Pay no attention to it, address it, place the author on ignore, but it's not a good reason to leave a forum. (In my view) There's very likely many more readers that value your posts.
