Post I Was Wrong....

I was wrong for always responding to the insulting posts that were directed at me. I let my pride get in the way and things got out of hand. I just have a really hard time sitting back and getting insulted and wrongly accused of things.

Apparently, according to some members of this site, things would be better for me if I just them go and not respond at all.

I will take that advice and see how things work out.

To those I wrongfully "snapped" at, I apologize. To those who actually deserved it, I still apologize. I should have been the bigger man.

I don't blame you either. At first you were very calm and casual about retorting to others. Then after several months of persecution you are a downright ******* and snap at all of them. Then they act like you are an ******* for no reason. Its obvious who is taking the turbocharged LS1 to the max. Its also obvious that your never going to get treated fairly here. Months and months ago, folks were butting into every single one of your threads and you couldn't make one good post about your progress without some sort of drama. Good luck, and I hope if you have any problems with people they eventually get sorted out, and you manage to stay a profitable business. One thing to keep in mind, is if Rob does see that he may have wronged somebody, if the man is loosing business due to you guys posts.. how is he going to make it right? Hopefully things can progress in a positive direction.

Good Luck,
Josh

Thank you both.

I hope others who may be new here can also understand at least why I responded the way I did many times. As Josh said, it wasn't like I just snapped all at once. This happened over the last year or so, and continued to bother me more and more. Which resulted in my "attitude".

I'm ready to move on.

no doubt rob just reading some of the posts in here is insane. for example one thread that was locked because of negitve comments is still on the forum yet mod's still enter their last words not fair imho. yet all the other threads that were locked seemed to be deleted (or i'm blind) at times you got a little crazy but you get alot of crap so i dont blame you. keep making crazy progress thats the stuff i like to see. just like chapple show sometimes you keep it real

Yea...I noticed that too but I wasn't going to be the one to mention it. And I still don't really understand it. Because it seems that the only threads that get deleted, are the one's where I make valid points of proof that contradict the accusations. The "other threads" with all of the unfounded, negative, slanderous statements towards me are always left up. In fact, they're still up.

Rob,

There's far to much water under the bridge with us but you can do me one favour if you really mean it.

KAOS (Daniel) bought my QMP kit, I have made sure it is in the best possible condition and will be sending it to him tomorrow. He informs me that you are tuning it which is fine, and he will need support with it, please don't blow him off.

I have offered to help as much as possible and make sure he has the parts he needs. Nothing would make me happier than to see it work perfectly on his car.

Paul

Well here's the deal.. I do feel bad for missing a couple posts that I felt were over the line about Rob in the last couple threads that went to crap but I cant read them all. What happened over two months ago I have no control over.

Moderators/admins can post in locked threads, sometimes its easy to miss if its locked, no conspiracy.

I met you in person and have nothing against you, there is no conspiracy here that I am aware of. Feel free to post in this section as long as it is technical and not a blatent advertisement. If you run across a post you think is outside the guidelines of this site in the FI section PM me and I'll use my best judgement and edit it if need be. I am not going to go back and edit whats done. I'm a pretty fair person and have no interest in any of this outside of what gets posted right here. I have no power over anything outside of this section so whatever is said anywhere else is beyond my control.

I have myself learned a few things from your posts here but posts like this are bad for everyone. You dont have to prove anything to me or anyone on the internet, just your customers.

I moved the last thread since it has nothing to with FI, argue with PSJ via PM or the lounge but not here

Same old drama to me.

Glad all of Raymer's posts are blocked and set to 'Ignore'.
It's the perfect solution.

Warbird - I have spoken with at least two people at great length that said they were "for sure buying your kit". Both of the people I spoke with wanted me to tune their car. I will gladly help whoever buys it in any way I can, with any problems they may have. Though I honestly don't forsee any.

I can guarantee you that nobody wants that kit to prove itself on someone else's car more than me. Please don't take that wrong.

Mello - I don't think I know you at all. I may be wrong again. Whatever I did to offend you in the past, I sincerely apologize. I will do my best to see that I don't offend anyone again. I'm only human.

KP - I'll follow your advice as well.
