Someone asked what the deal with John and I was...

I don't know, you seem to spend quite a lot of time on it.

Someone just needs to start ignoring the crap. Actually ignoring it. You're not changing eachother's minds and you're not changing the impressions other people have about the other guy. They'll come to their own conclusions.

The only thing it does is present a negative impression of yourself. Whatever argument or defense you have, you can't "win".

Not saying it isn't hard. The point is, if you keep on posting good stuff after the crap is said, the good stuff is what people will see and base their opinions on. Keep the shit stired up to the top, the shit is what they'll see.

Exactly 50/50.
Ask Robert who you are agreeing with why he doesn't take his machining projects, his obernight (sic) panic straight to the shop and into the machine projects to little Timmy....
That's what I think of when he writes that shit.

For someone who claims to not only be familiar with with many tongues, but who also genuinely seems to be a cunning linguist - you sure stopped reading Robert's post early.

You two are 50/50 to blame for the shit you get into.

Yah. I'm stating the obvious again - guilty as charged.
BUT, you seemed to miss the fact that all Robert was saying was 50/50 is that you both take each other's bait and won't let the other one alone. He wasn't saying anything about comparative value or worth to the community or to himself as a friend or service provider.

^^This^^ we wholeheartedly agree on.
In fact it's almost verbatim what I say when people ask me why I don't just let your comments about me roll off my back. (Although I don't say 'mindless crap' as you generally put a bit of thought into the fabrications and insults you hurl, in reflex, at me)

Blame is for idiots. losers.

Can OP's delete threads on this board? If so, I think that needs to happen here.

Who the fuck asked Timm what the deal with JV was anyway?? We should do the tar and feather thing and ban whomever it was to a square dance forum.

John and Tim,

You two are 50/50 to blame for the shit you get into. One or both of you will need to become an emotionally balanced adult for this to end. I wish you both success because I am tired of your stupid shit clogging up good rally threads.

+1

Yeah, +1 anonymous whoever you are, one spends aq couple of decades--longer than the other has been alive, helping , and advising, and supporting people entering this sport, and has no time for airhead whining, tthe other whines and complains and says "Yeah plus one"...

Exactly 50/50.

Ask Robert who you are agreeing with why he doesn't take his machining projects, his obernight panic straight to the shop and into the machine projects to little Timmy....

That's what I think of when he writes that shit.

Go read the rules and sign up correctly, one rule, see the "READ THIS FIRST< NOOB" thing you click on. Real full name, real full location.


Keeps things civil.

all updated., thanks for pointing that out.

i wasnt taking sides, john you have a ton of experience and give alot of knowledge to others on here, i dont know either of you. but my +1 was agreeing that it will take both of you to end this, and almost every post i read on here has you 2 going back and forth and makes it hard to read, keep info to the info sections, and your fued is off topic from most OP's topics... im not saying you 2 have to make up, or be friends, but stop putting your personal crap in public forums

Look man, I agree with you. Hence why I write back. I *almost never* (YES, I did on the suspension thread, I'll agree to that) start it. You've brought me up in threads I've never even had ANYTHING to do with. That I stumble on per chance. At least I have the balls to restrict my flames to places you'll actually see them, vs hiding behind the CHANCE I wont see it.

I am 100 (one hundred, 100/100, 10x10, 1x100) per cent ready to stop, as soon as you stop randomly weaving insults at me into your otherwise half way decent posts. But when half of a post is a direct slam towards myself, Keith, Jens, or progress, I'm not going to just sit there and let you get away with it, I will respond.

I'm NOT non negotiable. I am NOT stupid - I know exactly what I am doing, and why I am doing it, and how effective it OBVIOUSLY is. My priorities I suppose could be out of place, depending on what you value priority wise. I don't like people talking shit about me that isn't at least something real.

You are not stupid. You are old, but hey, that's not your fault. We have a lot of similar views and ideas. We DO think differently. Who the fuck cares? You shouldn't brow beat for thinking differently. That's what started all of this.

Let it go. The world will be a better place. Do I want to be your friend? Hell no. But I have NO problem being civil and courteous towards you.

But it stops with you, the one biggest offender. It's not 50/50 as Robert thinks. It's more like 52/48.

Hell, you could just ignore me and forget I exist and not mention me ever again and I'd be fine with that.

I don't WANT to have a multi year, multi thread, multi sub forum flame war. But I'm too fucking stubborn to let you just "win" and insult me. It's never going to happen.

It's going to be a draw, or a war. There are NO winners here. We are BOTH losers. Both losing.

Think about... we're fighting on the fucking internet. They don't give out awards for this... I know its probably scary for you accepting truce terms from someone you despise so much, and for all I can tell seem to think is the poster child for rich white suburbia kids, but just try it for a bit.

It'll be fun... you'll wanna do it again!

Seriously, let it go. Move on, and we'll be done. That simple.

You're against square dancing? I mean... living in Elma... I assume you have a barn? You don't host those?

We had to get rid of the barns..too many city kids sneaking down on weekends (instead of working on their rally cars) and romancing the livestock.

If this is going to turn into a debate about the relative merits of good, old-fashioned, spider-type diffs vs silly, Scoobaroo, planetary centers, then I'm suddenly much less interested.

Or am I missing the point (as usual)?
