You should look up Fascism up in the Dictionary. Just my opinion, but I see that as a very extreme left wing view of what goes on here at Pennocks, and could only be perceived like that by a troubled mind. Funny, I don't notice hardly any posts on this Forum where people are intentionally posting to 'suck up' to the group, Mastermind did though, after he buried himself.

Normally I don't speak out too much here, but I'm getting pretty tired of reading some of the crap posted. You might say, you don't have to read it, my response: you have to read it to determine if it's crap or not. Most of us come here to share out interest in the Fiero and discover what other are doing with their cars, it's a nice way to spent some idle time, or do some research. If the Forum goes "uncontrolled" by it's Members, it won't be very long before it's shut down, or the quality of people left here won't be worth the visit.

I see my soldiers have done well here...I am a 5-star General of this so-called redbar brigade.
There are legions of soldiers in this powerful & angry army.
Just like the corrupt Republican controlled Congress we have numbers and financial backing.

That little red bar I've been crucified w/ is because of my political views...

So I want to take the time to qoute some very deep **** ...
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man, hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain

"If you make peaceful change impossible.....you make violent revolution inevitable." - President John F Kennedy


My take on Archie: He may be a grumpy old man but the guy is a Fiero GOD. Merciless as this god is-dude rocks and he's a major asset to PFF.
Darth: Treat him to a margarita or beers if you want to cheer Cleatus V Eightiius up-
or sacrifice a goat or two.

WOW! I cannot believe some of the things i'm reading! Archie,Darth and Cali kid all have had made wonderful strides for the fiero world. I for one, a small budgeted fiero owner thrive on the info these guys give away FREE on the internet. reason enough for all of us to publicly thank them. Though they may not get along non of us need to fuel there fire, I'm shure they have each others email and settled there diffrences long ago. The way i see it if it werent for these guys non of us would be as deep into this fiero thing. they are all very very good at what they do, Please lets stop the bickering and all get together for a cook out or something -gary-

That's pretty sad on a car forum.

Politics and Religion shouldn't be discussed on the internet, if you take a strong stand, at least 50% of the people are going to be against you.

G-Nasty JUL 16, 10:53 PM
Apparently its more to the tune of 75%...

http://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum1/HTML/043386.html I am confused by the message being sent here.....

Just "policing the forum" like you suggested Mastermind.......


Kinda reminds me of this picture.

Calikid,

I have no issue with you. So why are you continually injecting yourself into the fray as if you are?

Botton line, my principles and civility are not regulated by owning a Fiero or a bar rating. Irrespective of the color. I treat everyone with respect, even those who do not deserve it sometime. Your either principled and civil or you aren't and no amount of achievements can change that. And isn't it interesting how many people Archie has personally pi$$ed off? It's also interesting that Archie's supporters ALWAYS try and paint Archie's victim as the problem without ever addressing his boorish behavior.

I'm glad he doesn't also sell kool-aid because PFF would be missing a great number of members.

Bahahahaha, now thats funny. Sadly tho some of the threads I have been reading lately end up having people posting that make themselves look like that. Thats what this thread is all about. You know, Archie does have some interesting products and generally does have some good ideas. The problem is he gets on here and has this attitude that everyone is out to get him and make his business fail. What he fails to see is that if he is capable of running a successful business outside of the internet, then he has nothing to worry about that gets said here on the internet. I just don't see how jumping up and down on people's heads is going to help his business. Guess thats just the way I look at it, who knows I could be wrong. Maybe jumping up and down on peoples heads and insulting them will make them even more eager to buy your products or services.

As for me I will continue helping people. I could give a rat's ass if people try to flame me. I invite competition because it drives me to IMPROVE upon the products and services that I offer, which in turn will only serve to improve my small business.

I wasn't going to post in this thread anymore because I said my piece, just like you, I have an opinion (right, wrong, or indifferent). I'm only responding because you addressed me directly, so here you go:

Your so called princilples and civility have landed you in some hot water here on the Forum, and you've been around long enough to know what stirs people up, and what doesn't. Despite some pretty clear warnings that a lot of Members don't care for what you've contributed to this Forum, you continue to post things that people don't care to read here. I've tried to make you understand that, but you aren't getting the message.

As far as Archie selling kool-aid to Members that have "really" gotten under his skin, just my opinion, but the Forum would be better off without them (and I really don't think there are as many as you think).

Not a image I would normally associate with you Calikid. I guess it shows just how influential Archie is. It's very telling how in post after post people make excuses for Archie's behavior without addressing it directly. I guess today I'm the problem, it will be someone else tomorrow, and another one in the future all because Archie flies off the handle and bites peoples heads off at the slightest whim.

But ones principles should not be determined by a popularity contest. Which reminds me of a saying......What's popular is not always right and what's right is not always popular" thus the hot water as you put it.
