It is a shame that I cannot clear the air, or at least bury the topic from the other board ON the other board. Luckily, we can do it here
In the thread that SQ4mn and i butted heads I made a list of things I have done and still do. Not to appear pompous or to pump myself up ( In retrospect it really Did come across that way ) but to show that I am not pulling info out of my ass or taking others word for it. My opinions are based on the facts that i have either lived first hand or from watching others experiences. When not possible to do those things, i read from trusted sources. I do not have opinions for the sake of having opinions. Stupid Shit like that gets people like Obama elected to what once was a respected office.
I admit to my wrong doing, I did make a personal attack on Sq4mn, albeit in a humorous fashion. Mostly to entertain myself. In retrospect, that was probably not the nicest thing to do but I was just fed up with the BS flowing from his side of the fence. It is 100% ok for him to dislike me for saying what i did. I will lose no sleep over it just as he will lose no sleep over me not liking him. I can and will still respect his knowledge and should the need ever arise that he needs assistance and I am nearby, I will not refuse it. We will probably never sit down and have a drink together. Nothing wrong with that. My opinion of him will not change as I am sure he is locked in with his of me. Life moves on.
As for the comment I made about changing the Diff cover ( also In Norm's engine swap saga ) not altering the factory warranty when you said I was wrong ... I regret ( not really ) to inform you that I was indeed correct. That was not a fictional tale, it was an excerpt from my life. My gears were swapped out under warranty in spite of the cover change. No matter how many years you worked at a dealership and no matter how much knowledge you have on how things work, it will not change the fact that what I said actually happened. That experience of my own is what i based my opinion on and I still maintain that a cover swap should not be grounds for warranty denial. At least not by anybody reputable. Put that along with the report from the Engine builder and to me it is painfully obvious he was screwed with a capital F.
In the end, NONE of us have any say in how Stan and Norm Deal with one another. Personally, I would not have made the second purchase after the first experience he had with them.
That being said, Thank You i feel better now, It really sucks that it could not be said over there. I am a noob to this v8 game and i have a lot to learn. It is nice to have a resource to go to to check my assumptions or become educated on a topic. Truth be known, the best thing the other site did for me was get the V8 Bible on my hard drive! I enjoy the light conversation and I enjoy not having battle royale's daily but at the same time, when they do happen they need to run their course to allow those involved to move on. Deleting them is anti-productive IMO
Carl, As for your drama with Adrian, I have no opinion so I won't jump in it. Your history with him predates me by years. I do hope that the two of you can come to an agreement but from the outside looking in, it doesn't look good. I guess the best thing to do is if we ever all get together, I will sit at the table with Adrian and you can take my seat by Sq4mn ... Dinner will go a lot smoother that way!
Who says building a border wall won't work?!? The Chinese built one over 2000 years ago and they STILL don't have any Mexicans ...
