Calias(?) will get me through in great shape. I am an expert in the field of deflowering virgins. Now to get the adjustable pacemaker installed and I'm on my way.
The problem with this and the other site is that there are many that have their panties all wadded up and can't seem to figure out how to unwad them. Technical and all is fine, but there is plenty of room for humor. You would have noticed that some of us "old timers" start throwing humorous shit into a thread to run it off track and defuse the situation. In the end, all came to an agreement that it was a useless fight and shook hands. It was just a moment, not a lifetime. There was no need to eliminate the threads. If your skin is that thin, you shouldn't be on a BBS anyway. What you saw was the same thing that goes on at events .. not a shittin' thing was different.
And Rusty ... I have a tremendous respect for you. Not only for what you have done and who you are, but for the humor you displayed. It shocked me to know that you had it in you.
Howie always called a Spade a Spade no matter who was involved. If more of us has his sense of humor, care and intelligence, there would be no need for moderators. No one knows how many times he and I exchanged harsh words over certain things.
All in all, we are individuals with our own agendas. When those agendas conflict, compromise, with humor is the solution. I understood Rob's reaction as well as I understood Brant, but couldn't all of you see that in the end there was a compromise? Some just couldn't see the forest for the trees.
To heavy handed Admins ... get over yourself. To those with thin skins, pick your battles wisely and grow up. For all of us involved in stupid cars, we are, in the end, over your choice of beverage, friends and allies.
I'm done and thank you all for who you are.
Do you have to drink some sort of potion that turns you from Slits to Ron and back again?
