Well I for one would SINCERELY miss Phonedawgs if he left here. His help was INVALUABLE when I was trying to troubleshoot an ignition problem with my fiero a couple months ago. He is often spotted trying to help others on the tech section from what I can see. He is in my opinion one of the good ones on this forum. PLease oh please do not ban him altho to be honest reading thru that thread just made my head hurt, not sure what all the hubub is about. It just looked like Avangdor? SP? posted an odd post that referrred to a friend of his who maybe died while texting in a car? Still not sure but it seems like nobody needs banned here to me but thank god I am not a moderator.... peace

Really now? Leaving a forum for that? I thought I've seen it all, you were a HUGE help to me in almost every thread I've posted on this forum. The forum would take a pretty big loss with you leaving, please reconsider... Its just the internet after all.

I'm sorry. I'm really confused. I actually read all of the texting thread that got trashed. I don't see where anything major went wrong, other than some back and forth bickering.
Did I drink too much last night or something and can't read the thread right?...

Every now and then EVERYBODY gets into a direct argument with another member. Agree to disagree, avoid if you can, and be the bigger man. Walk away from that one person. Or at least till you can calm down. This thread... here...
I've read a lot of your posts and i've met him in person at carlisle... under different circumstances and face to face you two would probably get along.... just odd.
Brush it off and move on.

Thats why I never talk about religion or politics with anyone...they always end up heated over opinions that cannot be proven. No reason to leave though. As was mentioned above, talk a deep breath and remember you have over 6800 good texts vs that one bad...thats a helluva good percentage!!!!!!!!!

Dont go . You are like a walking service manual . Just stay out of o/t for while.
It takes a skillful hand to navigate the dangerous waters of O/T. Please, if you leave, leave only that section. It sounds like you are an important part of Technical. Although nothing has broken on my car lately that I could not figure out myself it is comforting to know that people like you exist and are willing to help.
I think you should stay as well.. sure that argument go pretty heated but this is PFF... A lot of people seem to hame an opinion on this forum and also have the mouth to voice it. i cant tell you how many of them i'v gotten into with the Pff peanut gallerey. i tried to leave to....... wasent gone to long. just take a break... advengor's threads always seem to get into heated discussiosns this isant anything new.. T O/T can be a heartless b*tch on this forum especaly when getting into politics or arguing with someones whos into that political stuff. personaly i have very big political views but chose not to voice them on the forum because of that reason. I'd say your a valuable asset to this forum. Theres no way your an RFT peanut because no one over there would help any of us if it even ment saving one of our lives... And theres no way your shawn because he seems to have archie on the brain 24/7... your a valuable asset to this forum and the place just wouldent be the same without you.

Phonedawgs, do not leave. Your help in tech is invaluable, agreed, but you're also a good guy. Plus, if you leave, a kitten will die. Please don't make the kitten die.

No one forces anyone to commit mindlessly to an argument that will never be resolved. The participants willingly subject themselves to it, then blame the other person for it. If you stay, it shows you can at least recover from that, if you leave it shows your mindlessness is stronger than your logical side. Either way, it's your choice to make, don't blame your decision on anyone else. Good luck either way.

Phonedawgz I hope you do not leave you helped me with some tech stuff a while back without all the BS noob hating attitude. Your combination of knowledge and generosity are pretty rare. I've also enjoyed your wisecracks. Please don't let some hair-pulling ***** fight in o/t knock you off the forum.
I just wanted to add, when you expect anything of people you are always disappointed.

I'm an "RFT peanut", and I can't count how many times I've helped you and others here. You purposefully go to RFT to metaphorically "throw rocks", what do you expect?

Dont make me fly where you live and sit on your front porch till you agree not to leave. your a big help for all the guys who dont have as much skill as you. and you share that skill and info with people so they can keep there cars on the road.
Im beginning to wonder if that really is Phonedawgz or if maybe someone might have hacked his account? that doesnt seem like him. he seems like a very nice guy and very smart. saying everyone should leave PFF kinda gets me wondering.. maybe hes having one of thos days where nothing seems to be going right. I get thos every now and then.
Well if you stay. i will be happy and so will others. if you leave. i sure lots of us will want to to come back. if its any better :P its illegal to even talk, and or text while driving where i live.

This has got to be the stupidest thread I've read so far this year.
(My new year's resolution: whenever I close a thread, I will end with an interesting fact to stimulate the brain to make up for lost IQ points reading said thread)
On another note: Did you know that 96% of all candles are bought by women?
