LOL - What, like I'm the only one!
I sent you guy's (the moderators) a PM asking you to slow down the poor, roaming comments of those that have created new identities, only to come directly to my thread and cause trouble. My request went unanswered and more kept coming in the same way, like DIEM, so I thought, fine I can play that game as well, and I had my wife get in on the action, but for some reason, you have only called me on it and not others.
Let's be clear, I wasn't looking to hiding it (if I was you won't have known), I was calling you into action, Newguy's posts were truthful, and she merely highlighted those facts as they were originally presented.
I have posted a large amount of factual data, that CCA members are interested in learning about, but for some reason (no objective reasons) you have allowed this circus to continue.
Other members (other than Newguy) have chimed in as well; in support of settling things down and you have done nothing. I release a poll and it clearly shows (12-Yes & 17 No) that more are interested then not in what I have posted etc, but still you have let this go on! You certainly haven't represented the voice of the majority!
While I have made several strong attempts to change my tone and that of others, and have also accepted responsibility for my part in the initial derailment of this thread, you and others in governing positions within CCA, have done the polar opposite.
I wonder who DIEM is, a moderator perhaps?
So does revealing CCA as a biased, bullying forum get me banded?
If so - so be it, at least someone finally took a solid stand in here against the suppression of object facts and bullying!
And besides, I needed some evidence for another matter and you have provided it!
In doing so you have concluded my initial need for being here.
I am sure that you will consider sensoring this post!
PS I do have a good idea - that same one I been presenting everyday - let's all get past this and get back to sharing... not smack talk but ideas and experiances and if we don't agree we simply move to another post.
Okay?
But without the moderators helping us all to push the "Reset Button" it's not going to happen.
Look, you only have four interwoven choices here, making this a defining moment for CCA
1) You ban me (the easy choice to manage)
2) You intervene and settle us all down (the hard but right choice to manage)
3) You do nothing (which is what you have been doing all along - the passive choice)
4) I leave (the only choice for me if you don't help me turn this thread around)
I am prepared to accept any outcome, but this insn't just about me.
I have been fighting for what's right, I have become a pain in the *** because everything is wrong!

I had ONE moderator PM me about this thread. You did not PM the moderator team as a whole (I never got anything) so quit saying you are being ignored.
I'm not going to ban you or moderate this thread (unless it gets ugly). That would be censorship and you pointed out early in the thread how closeminded that is.. I think this thread is a good example of having to smell what you step in.
Your passive aggressive responses to everything are getting tired. Nobody asked you to join, we don't care if you stay, we won't miss you when you are gone. If YOU choose to drop all of YOUR drama and become a contributing member, then I am more than happy to hear more of what you have to say. If you expect to be able to lecture and not receive opposing views, then I suggest you check out Blogspot. They like people like you.
Diem may have come across stongly (as you did) but they summed it up well:
You have no one to blame but yourself, for the impression you've made on people.
You didn't have to come in here posturing in the manner in which you did.
But you did. You wanted to differentiate yourself, and put yourself above the masses, and develop a following of disciples. And condescend to those who HAVE gained the respect of other members here.
One upmanship.
You did not want to 'join' a community.
You wanted to be looked at, as 'special'.
Which is why you played the enigma.
Forums such as these are more about 'show and tell' and open dialogue than they are about grandstanding, and pointing to accomplishments that there is no evidence of.
And you wonder why people may not be so warm to you?...
Face it. You ****ed up.

yeah, stop your whining. As smart as you think you are, you were still caught red handed trying to bolster your view by faking an ID...that's just shameful! There's no doubt in my mind that you have a good amount of knowledge, and like I said many, many pages ago..."it would be a shame to waste it because of a bad attitude.." Unfortunately, that's exactly what has happened. You're now trying to paint yourself as a victim of this evil board, but the truth is, this board is one of the fairest, most polite, and helpful of any that I participate in. Most of the members on here are willing to bend backwards to help another member, and even guests. There are guys on here that will come to your house and help you install equipment on their days off(Big Red comes to mind). Other guys will demo their world championship cars for you pretty much anytime, and even help you build one yourself(Avidedtr, Fozz etc..), some will design a complex sub box for you with all the cuts (Jalat, myself, lots of others). Others may even come off as being a bit of a pain, Yuli comes to mind, but it's well known that he's one of the board's favourite guys in person, because he helps a lot of people. We rarely get into foul mouthed, racist, or ignorant rants, and if that happens, the mods bring it under control very quickly. Personally, I've been on here for quite a few years, and this is easily my favourite board. I voted "yes" to your poll, but I'm willing to say that if you can just act like an equal, and help when you can, add info when you can, and even learn something from time to time..it would be great to have you here. If you want to be a God, go do it elsewhere...afterall this isn't brain surgery and we're not saving people's lives here...you can leave the God complex at home.

interesting how the number of YES answers has been quickly closing the gap in the last few days....speaking of, let me go contribute my click to closing that gap some more.

so who the hell was he? who was he claiming to be? I honestly think this was a drive-by of some sort... did anybody learn anything (about car audio that is)?
