having watched many of the threads in question, i'd say kram or johnathan are not the bullies, but bullying has certainly occured.
I would argue that Jonathan brought it all on himself with his arrogance and he definitely ridiculed many members here. He was definitely a financial bully. Kram too was a bully at times, following your logic. He personally attacked me many times in the "it's okay to race on public streets" threads we've had. He even called me a liar and was extremely rude. That all falls under your definition of a bully.

Care to comment on my reply regarding this?

If you want to use an isolated incident against me then so be it.

I'll let the rest of my posts speak for me. I'll be OK if you can't get past me having a bad day.

Yeah, way to bring up a single, more than year old thread, and run. That sure showed me.

I did not mean to run Timco, I have a life and things to do outside of this forum.

My visits here are sparse and few / far between, I just happened to read your diatribe about forum etiquette on the prior page and remembered the thread in question from a year or so back.

I remembered it because it's not too often the owner of Pelican Parts, Wayne Dempsey, has to intervene in a thread and lock it. Then to top it off he comments on your maturity level; that takes a certain kind of "Special".

No Problem. Come to think of it, Wayne brought your maturity level into question too, didn't he?

As the OP I ask to shut down this hijacked thread. It's gone more than far enough and it certainly is not headed in a better direction.

So, what oil is the best?

(Sorry, couldn't help myself)

Really, resist the bait and shut down this thread, it's not adding value to the General Discussions.

Probably a good idea Jamesp, IIRC you may be able to close it yourself as the OP'er.

Sorry to Hijack it but nothing nauseates me more than Hypocrites; Should of named the Thread "I want to be the Alpha Male but I don't have the sense of an Alpo Pail.............."

If youre unable to see the sincerity in my reply, then let that animosity keep you warm, buddy. I was really pissed and the reply caught me just right. Get over it or let it bother you. No matter here. It's nothing I'm proud of and do regret my replies. The thread itself wasn't some call out.

For someone who seems to have a pretty good bead on everyone else's foibles, you're sure pretty quick to dismiss your own. Wayne had it right, Grow Up!

See you in the fall Alpo.

You're the one hanging onto it right now....maybe you should let it go. Timco can get a bit, emotional from time to time, but he's also a very dedicated member who offers lots of help and support to others.

Now, what is it again you do around here to help others?

Not sure what part of Sending an IM to those involved and apologizing is "dismissing my own".

I do try to help when I know something about the issue and go out of my way to do so.

Try helping someone.

My PM from Jamessp, only posted here since he said he would not read a reply:

I guess this is the best you can do. As they say, "everyone has a gift...", I guess this is yours. I've PMed others, if you even own a 986 you might want to try a different forum. You are unlikely to get a response from this one. You are a very small person.

Don't bother to reply. I will delete it without reading it. You've already made yourself amply clear.

Thanks James...............I will take you're sage advice to heart..................NOT!!!! Your name calling will keep me awake for weeks....................Not!!!!! Enjoy your Boxster lol.......

P.S. Get a pair if you're going to post up.............This "Get over it" BS is seriously something that others pointed out in the above thread really ought to take to heart THEMSELVES!!!!!!!! If not SERIOUSLY SAVE YOUR OWN BS BY SUGGESTING SUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIKE I SAID...............HYPOCRISY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They sure seem to have no issue ragging others here with lower post counts. Apparently "Getting over it" doesn't apply to them.

Like I said, mainly directed at the established members, how about a bit of self reflection regarding pushing the new members out......................

Flame Away, Some of you guys ought to read your replies / posts from awhile back before hitting the "Submit" button.............................
