I was given the impression by my friend Brent who started this forum that such BS wouldn't b a part of it; that folk would b required to give the respect that they expected.
Seems a number of you have failed to do that, kinda like a lot of the idiot kidiots who inhabit the chats on-line trying to perpatrate as if they know, are and or have done things that they do not and have not.
Respect is something, at least with me and anyone im associated with, that must b 1st given to b recieved, its not something u can demand or expect without payin the dues of givin it FIRST.
Since a number of the folk on this forum don't seem to realize that, i suggest that whenever those folk see a post by me, they simply disregard same, or at least keep their childish insults and jabs to themselves. If not i will always as i have done thus far respond to those folk with the same BS they throw at me back in their face. That kind of crap is what in my vernacular is called playin the dozens, and i am better at THAT than any of u are likely to b if you live to b 200, and i was by the time i was a teen. That type of childish thing is not my aim, but it will always b my response to antagonism, name calling and general insults. The end game is that unless u like having ur cap twisted with ur own BS(getting embarrased and laughed at by ur peers) refrain from responding to anything i post with it.
I love toys, lots of em and big boy toys at that, however i do not play, nor am i to b played with at any time in any manner by anyone. This isn't some new MO for me, its always been my MO. If i post something that i do no actually KNOW, i will preface or suffix same with that fact. OR simply ASK a question about the subject.
However when it comes to car crafting, especially in terms of drag race oriented build of any make or model, foreign or domestic, i have a vast wealth of both experience as well as formal education. Tho i am predominantly a domestic GM BOP fan, i have had hot rods of bout every type and brand there is, bought built and raced em for myself as well as built and raced em for other folk. I have been drag racing, buying and building cars to drag race for myself and others since July 5 1963.
I can take loosing, but like anyone else i do not LIKE to loose...that said, its only someone who doesn't race who doesn't loose. Your only option or hope is to win MORE than u LOOSE and to do that u must b as much aware of what ur racing against as u are about that which u race with, that way, as i have for the past 30+ years, u will win more than u loose and thats the best u can hope for. Toward that end i have engaged in countless hours of research and development as well as aquired a Mecjhanical Engineering degree in automotive applications from GMI(Now Kettering University)n jus for my own ediface to help me better craft rides and drag race combo's. I do not know it all and i doubt myself or anyone else ever will, not even about automotives but I DO know quite a bit more than the average car crafter especially when it comes to technicals, becaue i have not only a vast amount of experience but also a vast amount of formal education concerning same. With this im willing to help anyone, even a competitor, and with respect. Accept it or not, do so with respect and im quite easy to get along with, as well as i will respond to u in kind with the utmost respect, if not then i must respect that ur being DISrespectful and respond accordingly.
I'm not a bad azz or a bully, never have been or wanted to b, but i respond to such tactics in a manner thats never going to b anything anyone wants to deal with, and whatever one wishes to do about said response, BRING IT, for real, don't sit back behind a PC and spit venom and sell wolf tickets u can't back up and won't even try. None of this applies to the lion's share of the participants on this forum, and all in all its a great forum, full of valuable crafting info, but like anything good, some choose to abuse the priveledge and this post is directed at those folk in particular. Others may overlook such childish antics and insults, i will not. Those of you to whom i refer can take that for whatever ya think its worth; my suggestion is that ya take it as a word to the wise. Thanx folk, have a blessed day.
