[quote name='1988RedT2' date='Sep 9 2005, 08:11 AM']Well, I for one am a bit peeved that we have lost some very knowledgeable and/or interesting contributors to the forum because of a "personality conflict" between himself and Phins or some other forum member.
I'm not going to choose sides on this issue (not that anyone asked my opinion).
Granted, 94t can be a bit of an **** at times, but I've always found him to be fairly restrained and cordial in his posts.
Without knowing the full history of the conflict, I would urge both combatants to grow a thicker skin and not be quite so sensitive. We are men, dammit, and we should damn sure start acting like men. So grab a damn beer, put your greasy hand on a wrench, and quit bitching!

Who have we lost because of a personality difference with me exactly?
The only person I know of that has left because of me is pengaru, if you think Jim left because of me your wrong, he left this place in the dust long before his and I relationship broke down, his leaving had little to do with me if anything.
I seriously doubt 94t gave any thought to leaving, him and I have had arguments like this SEVERAL times in the past and I have never once asked him to leave. If you think there's anyone on the ban list because I personally don't like them then you are misinformed.
No matter what I do, I will not please everyone, I learned this long ago and people will come and go, they move on, they find other interests, other forums, etc, etc....
If someone has given you the impression that I am going to spend my money, my time and my hard work providing a venue for people to harrass, insult and make my time here miserable then they have given you the wrong impression. At the end of the day, I have to enjoy being here or quite simply it won't be here any longer. This isn't some profit making project that I can't afford to walk away from and in recent months it's certainly brought me far more heartache then I need.
You don't like the place anymore, fine blame me, but move on, I'm not going to provide you with an open venue to second guess my decisions or personality conflicts with people. This isn't a democracy, I hold the keys, I keep the lights on and I trim the fat, throw the dead weight overboard and then decided whether or not to throw them a life ring.
Get over it, it's a forum, I'll give you a tip, many of the people you talk to on here, including the ones I have a feeling you are referring to are not the same people in person that they are on this forum, many of them use this as a method to create another persona, to be someone they are not, to be envied, to be "respected". As far as myself, what you see is what you get, I am not playing some political action figure, if you aren't someone I would associate with in person, if you were neighbor, if we worked together, etc... then you aren't someone I will associate with on here.
I've been careful even in the most extreme circumstances not to drag my differences with people through this or any other public venue, even when they have not afforded me the same.

By the way, those are some nice t-shirts! I'm pretty picky, about the weight of the shirt, and how it fits, but I love my nopistons shirt!
