from your intro thread, does this not say BMW, MB, and other exotics. That to me indicates that you only invite exotics and feel BMW and MB are in that group.
This pretty much states that other cars are not good enough. Yet all other BMW MB and exotics are welcome no matter how hideous they look. Jones was trying to make a point, i seriously doubt he wanted to come. You were just saying you are going to be sitting at the entrance to this show turning away anyone you didn't feel would "fit in". The is a very elitist attitude. I have no problem with a BMW, MB or what ever meet you wish to have. The problem i have is how you come across with it.
All you had to say was that the show was for BMW, and MB and let it be. Then if someone showed up that was causing an issue just ask them to leave. simple as that.
