OK, I get the idea of not messing up the Nameless Rally thread with bullshit, but that should go for all of us shouldn't it? Like a misinformed post about IP law violations that don't exist written like it was from some eighth-grade 'tough guy.'
You're one of the few. Most people I talk to roll their eyes at you constant need to fuck with the language to either butcher it to the point of being difficult to follow or go out of your way to use complicated language ONLY to clutter the conversation. BOTH American cartoon characters... At least Dudley's nemisis had a cool name (C'mon... Snidely Whiplash!!!! you have to admit that's a great name for a villan.) Elmer is little more than a poster child for stricter gun control laws :-) You think so probably because all you do is see red when you see a post from me. Most of the time you simply spew a response while clearly not reading a word I say. Nah, we often just disagree on what the point is. I also wonder why you think I would take communication advice from someone who 'everyone I talk to' says they can't understand half of what he's saying. Sure you know languages, root languages and such - that doesn't mean you know how to communicate. Case in point. I think[/b] your point was that we shouldn't derail a thread about Gene's admirable effort to put on a 'new' event in the face of adversity. But, that's not what you say at all. You swear and simply try to tell me what to do. (As if you had some sort of authority to do so and as if you didn't regularly post snidely comments burried in threads they have nothing to do with.)

Idiot it was a joke. You are really stupid, like a overdeveloped version of the forum Chihuahua...
And i repeat Elmer Fudd is a great icon, but, as always, you were wrong, as if it matters, it was 
Because the New and Improved RA is acting like big spoiled dicks..get it? a joke fool. The real joke, aside from you that is, is the marketing Geniuses who were ruining Rally at Rally America, were all stupid about "owning all media content" and threatening shit.. Now you're a media idiot, that's why you're such an insufferable bore---but if the fools weren't fools---well they wouldn't be media chaff if they weren't, but if they weren't complete idiots, they'd realise MORE media is better from ANY form, but NOooooo they "OWN all media" even if Tom Buress's own camera or mine shot anything---and then, they REQUIRED with serious threatening bulletins that the font MUST BE Ny Times Helvetica bolt or you will not be allowed to start.. That is the joke. people made fun of them IN LIGHT OF THEIR ASSERTION OF "all your rights are ours" Are you following this or is it too complicated? God you really are thick Morison, you really must learn to be more aware of when something is just a quip and your bwilliant watiocinations aw not wequiwired. Instead of wading into a thread about something you have nothing to do with to chastise anybody. Note: I don't speak idiot very well so it's not surprising there are some who complain constantly that they can't understand.. But TRY and remember that if many people DO understand and only a few scatter people don't, maybe a less than 90%/10% thing, there is a fairly large chance that the root of the problem is not the words, but some blockage, or congential defect, or just refusal on the part of the reader/listener to grasp the subject.. There are English, Scotts, Ozzies, French, Quebecois, and on other forums Norwegians, Germans, Russians, Finns, Ukrainians, Pork-n-cheese, Belge, Swedes, and, judging from the frequency of the quoting and thumbs up---including a very nice full quote of an entire long post by ex WRC driver Pentti Arikala who gave the post a "thumbs up" and a "perfect, well said", and the hundreds of "likes", seems many others in places other than just Calgary don't seem to struggle to "get the point".. Have you considered that perhaps you're just not a very bright individual, and that's why you struggle with things so many others "get"?

Dude, do you seriously thing the reference was obvious to ANYONE reading that thread? (Maybe you made the connecting reference elsewhere but I don't - and people shouldn't have to - hang on your every word to be able to 'get' your jokes.)

Thanks for illustrating my point. Yes, I know who Elmer Fudd is. John's contention was that his speach ipediment parody in another thread was a nod to a monty python sketch, not the loony tunes character it is more generally associated with.

Actually, Keith was just here on a temporary visitor permit. I reeled him in with some bait about two months ago or so after he perma-left. Surprised he's posted this long AND asked if I wanted to crew for him at Oregon  He's a glutton for punishment I tells ya.
In other news, Keith and I must talk to the same people. Yes, John does have some good knowledge, but they can't get around the package it's wrapped in (and no, this isn't "just" fawkin' dim-witted western asshole rednecks). There are also a few people with earlier equipment he has produced that are upset with him, but I think that comes with the territory of niche design/manufacture cottage industry (no different than hotbits original suspension parts). |

I hate it when people make liars out of me. I said I was gone and now I'm back... again. (next time I'll have my wife change the password)
John, seems to me that you got pissed off when people would talk poorly of you on Special Stage when you were exiled (forcibly or self-imposed) an they knew you weren't able to respond. The only thing I can possibly take from that is that when you go out of your way to bring my name into a conversation it's your way of asking, nay, begging for me to go back on my word and come back to the forum. If this isn't the case, then when I say I'm gone - stop talking shit about me!
Phew, so this is all a big misunderstanding then! You've clearly confused me with someone else. (by all means illustrate how I've done what you claim, with actual references not just bluster and name calling.) What I have always said about you is that from what I've seen you have a great amount of knowledge and skill and can be a good source for boingers at a certain price point and some other fabrication. I do also say that peopel should expect to 'work' to extract the knowledge and be patient in getting what they want. Neither comment should be seen as negatives necessarily. Also, just as with any shop, I do tell people to find and talk directly with people that have done business with you because I can't so I don't have an experienced opinion. If you think this is somehow a 'veiled warning' then that speaks volumes about how you think your customers talk about their dealings with you. You're likely not aware that I have actually defended you on a number of occasions. Maybe the most glaring is when someone in the east called you a thief and I questioned the idea that you had INTENT to cheat someone, with intent being a crucial part of being a thief - in my mind.
I've heard more than a couple of stories about dealings with you. Some fine, some not. I've heard one story that I simply wouldn't believe if I didn't know and respect the person it happened to. I don't post that story online because it isn't my place to do so. I occasionally tell mutual friends to 'get the story' from him, simply because of the comedy of errors. At the end of the day it isn't my place, or Adam's, to tell you which customers have given up on trying to get things 'made right.' Once again, please tell me when, where and how you think I'm doing this. Back up this statement or please stop spreading lies about me.
