I would say because you always get into these Threads and you get your buttons pushed. I am not saying a timeslip/dyno sheet isnt vaild proof for the most part. But when you post a timeslip showing a 11.4 with a 1.5 60' being ran by a SBC attached to a Getrag, a video is going to be needed for proof. I didnt get any video of my 12.0 run I did a few Fridays back but thats okay. Why?-Because I know I ran that time, had a few local club members there, the time is do able with the setup I have and dont care what others think. I will get video next time for you if it will make you happy. Hopefully my next runs will be in the 11s but time will tell.

HOW'S THAT AZZZHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You aren't gonna take it to court, I'm not taking it to court. Shounbag is much more likely to get a baseball bat up the side of the head than a summons.
NOW, your freeking legal opinion not withstanding.
A Fiero owner shouldn't have to go to any Fiero event in the world & have to stalked for the next year by nasty emails & mocking videos of that Fiero owners participation in that event.
CAN'T YOU ****ING UNDERSTAND THAT |
|
Can't you have a civilized conversation with someone without resorting to name calling? Are you really that immature?
animal and Tom Corey both feel their privacy was invaded, and I feel that he/they are dramatically overreacting. I never claimed you or I were going to take it to court. I've certainly never suggested hitting someone with a baseball bat, nor have I implied that I would.
I am NOT defending the content of the videos that he posted, or the method by which he got the footage. I'm NOT defending harassing e-mails/comments. Harassment is illegal, and if you really felt like ending this you would pursue the legal options available to you. I will, however, defend the right (yes, the right, as in 1st Amendment right) of a person to publish anything that is factual, and does not call for violence. You may not like the videos, I may not like the videos, Tom Corey and animal BOTH may not like the videos, but if the information contained therein is not fabricated, I will defend the right of an individual to post it. Kinda like the 2g1c video. (<--That's not a family/work friendly video, for anyone who doesn't know what it is and wants to look it up. It's disgusting, and you don't actually want to see it.)
Stalking is wrong, harassment is wrong, posting unflattering videos is not.
You have been described by some as a cornerstone and a leader of the Fiero community. Whether or not you want that kind of recognition or fame is irrelevent, but being involved for so long and being as involved as you are, you have been dubbed a leader. Leaders of anything are mocked by those who don't like them (or are jealous, or whatever) as someone in the spotlight, you need to develop the ability to shrug it off. Do you think George W. Bush goes off on people on internet forums? If you think there are mocking videos of you, you should see the number he has. How about Al Gore? Or Lindsey Lohan? How about Shirley Phelps? Well, maybe she's not the best example, but the theory holds true, those in the spotlight get mocked. If you can't handle it (or won't, for whatever reason) the only solution is to remove yourself from the spotlight. The only people who don't get mocked by someone are those who aren't known.
I've been nothing but civil in this thread, and I certainly don't appreciate being insulted for having an opinion that you don't like.[This message has been edited by FieroJimmy (edited 03-15-2008).]

I post on RFT, does that make me a bad person Archie? Why don't you go into the Board and see how many times I have posted in the RFT Vs. Teh World Subforum. Go on, take a look. I have Friends on that forum that share my same belief in SBC's, but that may only be coincidence because a few of the friends I have on there live close by me. Let me Iterate what you already know. The SBC is an old stone age engine. These days you can see 300hp out of a Nissan 3.5L DOHC V6 because of technology. There are lots of people who feel that's where technology has brought us to.
With the onset of Computer Technology we see Dynometers and people using them more and more frequently. Not sure if you surf any other forums, but it's almost expected that if you claim X amount of horsepower that You should post a dyno slip to back it up. It's called the information age.
What I would like to see is an Internet where people would be honest with each other. Honesty is all we're asking for here on this forum, and others. Is it too much to ask from people that they should show proof of their Horsepower claims?

I certainly haven't grouped anyone in. I feel sorry for guys like you who get a bum rap because of some of the People that make claims. Like I said to DrCPU, kudos to you for being honest about your setup.
To me, video is a treat. It's nice to watch and so when I go out, I enjoy taking the time to video for others to see. It isn't expensive to do anymore.

And I'm sure you've lost 9 customers since the beginning of this thread.... Its your money not mine. Ratings here mean nothing to me and have no negative consequence on my life in any regard. I edited it because I'm not going to bash you personally- that's a low blow. I'll leave that for you to do.

Kudos to you for displaying that level of maturity. I didn't even know what it was about, since I was busy typing my reply to being insulted myself. Maybe others should learn from what you've just done.

I'm sorry you felt insulted, but at the time I felt that you weren't getting the thrust of my opinion.
Your legal opinion not withstanding.
A Fiero owner shouldn't have to go to any Fiero event in the world & have to be stalked for the next year by nasty emails & mocking videos of that Fiero owners participation in that event.
THAT's what this whole thread is all about.
No Fiero owner has the right to do to another Fiero owner what Shaunbag did to & continues to do to Tom Corey & others.
Last year before the Daytona show I told the FL show organizers that if Shaunbag was allowed to video the Dyno runs, no matter how good or bad the cars performed, Shaunbag would turn it into a year of hate. He has done exactly as I predicted, yet those RFT guys keep supporting him instead of trying to straighten him out.
Shaunbag is more than a pathetic attention whore. He has an obsession that dominates his life. He's the kind of individual that goes onto a college campus & starts shooting the place up.
Someone has to get him under control before something bad happens.
I'm done with this now
