    @K_M, so you start a thread bashing a long standing member, even going so far as suggesting he is engaging in stalking behavior. You paint him with a very broad brush and say that every member should feel the same way as you do. And when people disagree with you you call them cowards. Take your own advice - if you can’t say something nice don’t say it at all. You had an axe to grind and made your point. Now let this thread die - Or you can perpetuate it and behave no better than the actions that you are complaining about.

    Totally WRONG.
    I asked no one to agree with me.

    When someone is rude you guys are cowards to NOT call them out as being rude.

    I agree the thread needs to die.
    But the behavour on the forum needs some improvement.

    Are you condoning all he does??

    Yes or no??
    I for one have never seen you stand up and say that HE was rude.......
    Do you feel he never is???

    Or do you selectively decide who you will call wrong or not?

    Wow, you enjoy speaking in absolutes don’t you? I don’t agree with EVERYTHING ANYBODY does, including myself sometimes. An example would be me disagreeing with myself continuing to post in this thread , yet here I am. I have been rude, F1nut has been rude, you’ve been rude - we have all been rude at times - or could be perceived to have been rude. This thread needs to die a quick death.

    Please don't start a thread. I'm trying my best to keep up with this soap opera, we don't need another thread. You and Kelly need a nap! I predict you two won't be taking one together.

    @K_M I don't understand the point of this thread. Things appear to be going civil, but you seem concerned about the number of LOL's out of the blue. Safe assumption is your LOL's were given as the thread progressed, so how would that be considered "stalking"?

    Let me clarify.
    Every post you make @K_M is a JOKE!
    You PM people to rally to your cause then start a thread as stupid as this one here.
    Then you start it all light hearted until someone who got 8utt hurt by Jesse piles on.
    Then you start coming on strong.
    You are VERY small, this forum and it’s (valued) members are not.

    Pointing out the obvious, you are asking people to agree with you in the very post you claim not to be. You are also selectively deciding who you call wrong or not. I could go on.......

    I have NEVER seen you call out his rude comments...WHY?
    Or can you not give the truthful answer.
    You are either afraid also, or simply are part of the same problem.

    You are doing the very thing I am talking about, and sound proud of it...wow.

    Maybe you are like several. It is fun to see someone be treated rudely and sit back and laugh, and maybe join in at times huh?

    Give it a break Kelly. Don't go away mad just stop and go away for today bring your marbles back again another day. You come here and continue to do these type of threads often. Where does it get you? Keep slinging mud to see if it will stick, it really never does and then we are all sycophants if we do not agree with you or follow your lead. It's beyond old

    I think the deeper issue, for all you 5 guys that disagree with me, literally 17 people have Pmed me in the last 2 days, saying they totally agree with what I say.

    But for various reasons, do not want to openly state that view in a thread.....

    I WILL NOT name names....
    But again, I have never seen you tell HIM to give it a break or to chill with the bashing or rude comments he makes, WHY???

    You condone the behavour, feel it is pointless or what...im truly curious?

    Show me one place where I have defended him......I will wait. I am not the Polk police and have called many out on occasion. And I have also been called out. My mom told me a long time ago: “don’t hold anyone else to a higher standard than you hold yourself.” The way I see it now is you are engaging in the exact behavior that you are asking others to stop. So it’s actually quite confusing. What’s your angle here? That’s a rhetorical question really because this will be my last post in this useless pointless thread

    It’s Sunday, Snowing, Coffee is Hott, and I’m bored so here’s my take on this, mostly for K_M, but anybody who’s bitched about F1Nut. Myself included.

    But first, why the hell do all you people care about your badges?

    TL;DR:
    F1Nut: He comes across as a dick. Take him or leave him. Just my perceptions. Grateful for what he does do. Think he could do the rest a lot better. Or have better success on Facebook.

    F1Nut Is simultaneously one of the biggest lurkers and **** posters on this site. Most of what I read from his 42,000+ posts since I’ve been around is one or two sentences telling someone how they’re wrong with little to (usually) no information how they might change it. I generally don’t view him as a positive contributor to the forums, and often find him engaging in adolescent arguments with those he would claim are below his intelligence and experience. Why? I don’t know. Nothing better to do I guess? After 42,000 posts boredom has set in and being the oldest troll under the bridge his last entertainment? I don’t know, but his is a familiar pattern I’ve seen repeated on multiple forums. He’s that established voice who’s been around forever, can be a pain in the ****, and every now and then is extremely helpful. Demo program anyone?

    It’s my perception the site has three camps of members; those who like him, those who don’t, and those who don’t know who he his. In different words, a very polarizing online persona who puts a bad taste in newer members mouths from the start. Stating from personal experience and observation.

    This is all, of course just my perception based on threads I’ve read or participated in, and yes I’ve butted heads with him before. I certainly haven’t seen everything. Other members seem to hold him in high regard and say he his helpful. Oddly enough I often find those same members quite helpful to individuals and the site as a whole. I can’t always say that about F1Nut, but people I respect on the site seem to respect him. Therefore aside of a ****, grating, ornery, cold impersonal and irritation online persona I tolerate him. Passive ignore his bait posts and focus on what you really need which I suspect is not wasting time on someone who’s not getting you what you need. Unless you need to eat some troll bait, go for it. :D

    I don’t believe you need to like someone to appreciate what they do. Thanks for the L200 demo program and other things you’ve done for the forums. Your online personality blows some large four legged mammalian genitals but I’m sure like most of us you’re quite different in person. Final words of the rant, like your mother said if you can’t say something nice, don’t say it; If you can’t post something positive or helpful, don’t. Remember, telling someone they’re wrong without explaining why does them absolutely no good. May I suggest a simple ‘bump’ instead of a snarky comment? After all, this isn’t Facebook. :D

    You're wrong.

    But, I’m not wrong, this isn’t Facebook and you know it! 😄 Or were you referring to some other part of my editorial? I do believe people aren’t who they are online, that you’re probably trying to help, and you’re a decent human being who comes across as a d*** online.

    Honestly I’m flattered you quoted me, shows I’ve occupied a bit of space in your head too. I’m honored.

    Besides, does my opinion really matter to you?
