BTW - I liked KRAM from a personal perspective, but he did tend to post authoritative statements that had questionable technical validity.
One more note, I would agree that there has been some bullying on the forum as already noted by Timco in this thread

If you want some respect and desire to belong to an existing community, don't be a jerk. Don't lie to the forum and tell others different things in IM. Don't purposely troll members to get a negative reply. Don't be as crude as you can be.
Put a cap on it and maybe just try to fit in just a little?
If you want to lie and antagonize and brag and annoy, be prepared to take some heat from those who don't think they should have to put up with it.

I'm not too proud to apologize for my replies. I was really upset my car was treated that way and work is really stressful at times being self employed.
Please accept my apology for that. The comment to Woodsman was actually just kidding him over being Canadian, in all honesty. Given that was right after the cat thread, I had that coming and others treated me accordingly based on that.
We can move on, or you can carry animosity towards me. Hope to move past that. I've enjoyed this community.

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".
