it does seem that way at times but taffy is a valuable member of the community. he has a fairly short fuse and a well developed sense of sarcasm (as do i), but a lot of people take great pleasure in setting him off.
he's here to stay, people. lighten up!
FWIW
So Ned, Your pretty much saying that he is a valuable member and can be a sarcastic prick and does not have to watch his P's and Q's like the rest?
I have no problem taking sarcastic digs or joking around for that matter. But when someone calls me stupid and attacks me when I am new and just helping another user out with correct info then it is on. No one deserves ****.
Maybe take a look back in the suspension section when I was giving a user some advise on handling and see how he was then, that is where this all started as he felt threatened.
He needs to understand that he is not the only one on this forum with knowledge, he needs to understand there are other shops that sell parts. This forum is not only about him, I don't see it called the Unofficial Taffy Forum.
I tried to make a mends to this and got involved in a conversation and was working with him and agreeing to what he was saying. Thought it was behind us, and then he went at me, telling me to stay away and what do I think I was doing being kind to him. This was after out little war was over and it was all quiet. So be it, its not what I want, but I wont let him do as he pleases.
I would say everyone here is valuable even if they have no mechanical skills and even if the ride something other than Husa. As this is what keeps Husa alive.
We all need to get along, but I will be ^$^%$ if I going to take his crap. If this causes you grief than it is your choice to stay away from our posts. I will continue to help other users as much as possible, I will continue to defend when the prick lashes out. I am one who stands up, I have seen him lash out and watched users back away, so maybe I am not only defending myself, but those new and old users who leave due to his BS.
