Subject: Re: Civility Reminder by jsup on 2008/11/5 22:30:52 I think I speak for CV, if you are referring to the thread he and I went back and forth, I think that was a friendly conversation, and simple banter. I mention it because you commented on it. CV helped me a lot this summer, we spoke for hours on my build, and I consider him a friend. Friends can go back and forth like that, and to me it's nothing personal. I will speak for myself, and mention that I know Deakins has the same concern. I am accused of being a "pot stirrer". Perhaps it's my dry wit, IDK.... However, what concerns me is the definition of "pot stirrer". I have seen way too much mis information on the internet. When someone posts something as fact, regardless who it is, I will ask them to prove why they say such. If that makes me a pot stirrer, then I'm pot stirrer. Us C4 guys don't have a lot of money to throw around, and bad advice wastes money and time. Ask Pr0zac about how shitty his "forum approved" motor ran. I mean, there's so much bad advice out there and I take NOTHING at face value. Those who know what they are talking about, don't need validation. We all bring different knowledge and experience to the table, and we should all be able to share ideas without getting anyone's panties in a knot. If you spec an engine and I come in and say "that combo is a joke and here's why" I would hope you're more of a man that to call names, pull down your zipper and try to plant it firmly on the table, and PROVE civilly why it isn't the case. In other words, discuss the merits of the situation without the personal ownership of a situation. Like asking for dyno sheets for the love of god. Has nothing to do with the technical merits of the conversation. Anyway, sorry for the long post, I'm a bit hyper sensitive to this. |
