Well, if you never post then how would I know what your opinion is? This is part of the problem. You people seem to think that I remember what every one of you drives and where you stand on everything. I don't.
I have met some people here personally, even had one into my home. I know what a few others drive because they post here regularly. I'd like to think I'm not as polarizing a figure as alky but who knows...
Sometimes I wish we didn't have a post count.
I guess my problem is that I count this as a tech forum when it is clearly not. I make it a point to mask my opinion when facts are being discussed. My opinion is that people who fail to debate well, miss the "beauty of gray", and parrot the same thing over and over again are pretty much killing the legitimacy of this being an automotive forum.
Where I stand on anything is entirely irrelevant when it should be a case by case basis on facts. I think you have gotten a lot better with not crapping threads in which your opinion was the polar opposite, and you don't have a negative sig anymore.
You are definitely not as polarizing as alky, and most of the times you "annoy" me I let it go, but this was a loaded thread to begin with. This is kind of sidetrack, but I remember when you ripped on someone a long time ago for wasting time on digging a hole or something like that. The counter-argument was making a ridiculous amount of posts on a message board and I guess that stuck with me. It is the squeaky wheel type thing, SNR and all that.
In person, you are probably a pretty cool dude, but on the forum you come across as the guy yelling what he likes and how everything else is dumb, IMO. I did use my opinion there as denoted by the fake acronym IMO.
