Sorry, I've been on vacation and just came back to read this.
You truly are delusional. You wrote me a long PM lecturing me, calling me a jerk and an asshole, and demanding that I owe you a public apology. That is what you call respecting me enough to send your thoughts in private? Please.
If you prefer, I can post the entire PM here and allow everyone to see just how unhinged you are.
You live in an alternate reality. I just went through every single one of my interactions with you in this thread, and I'm confident that you cannot point to posts which support your position here. In fact,
YOU are the one who tried to turn the conversation into a hostile one at several points, completely unprovoked. The only crime I committed was not 100% agreeing with every point you made (while many of my posts actually did support your position in various ways).
Here is exactly how it transpired...
We had cordial back and forth over the first 12+ pages. Then, out of nowhere, you reply to Joe Cool with this completely insane accusation which has no basis in fact:
I replied, asking you where the hell this was coming from, and you chose not to respond. Then on Page 16, you were the first to call anyone names:
Incredibly, the first time that I mocked you was on Page 17,
Post #569, and the only reason I did this is because you literally wrote a 404-word post trashing SBR & Optional - the very people you were asking to help you. Then on Page 18, Post #597, you acknowledge that this was the first time I mocked you and that trashing SBR / Optional wasn't the best decision.
Every other post that I made was simply observing and drawing conclusions based on evidence. These are the facts. You obviously have a difficult time keeping track of the facts because in your PM you also accused me of saying that spencerho, rickron, et al. were really you posting, while in reality I was one of the few who defended you and said that this was not the case. So, yeah, when I got your PM, I was just a little annoyed. I don't need to be lectured over PM by someone who's been calling me names just for doing my duty and contributing to this forum. Nothing between us needs to be private because you've made it very clear that you don't intend to be civil with me. If that's the case, you can do it here, for all to see.
Go ahead and keep digging deeper. I have the receipts.
