The shoe is different on the other foot?

I see a difference, because while I have been told recently, they appear caustic, that is not their intent at all.. Sure, maybe 1 out of over 500 posts is a direct flame, I can't help it, I'm human, I get angry.. But your post was a direct put down, while mine, against todd, was not meant to be that way. I can't insert simleys into every sentence.. I'll start being one of those guys who DO mean it as an insult but put a smiley to soften the public reaction.

quote Originally posted by JohnnyK: I see.. My retaliation was somehow ruder than mj's? Whatever man.. Talk about drama queens.. You want me to lie and say Shawn probably knows less than todd? Tough beans.. So why is it good that todd got this thing again and horrible if Shawn got it?

Uh, yes; yes it was. Let me quote you:

quote Originally posted by JohnnyK: I see you're back in utter dickhead mode.. Suspected it was about time anyways.

Now let's examine what maryjane said that prompted you to say that:

quote Originally posted by maryjane: You have inside information regarding the new owner's skill, expertise, financial assests, and technical ability that the rest of us don't? I certainly don't, but i bet he won't get rid of his Fiero because he can't cure minor clutch problems, and I suspect he has the experience and intelligence to wire up a simple 220 VAC circuit as well.

Now, while what he said may have been condescending, at least it wasn't an out-and-out insult.

I have never seen maryjane be as out-right pugnacious as you've been, time and time again--not just here, but elsewhere. I've never seen maryjane in "utter dickhead mode", and I've been here since May of 2002.

So either you're throwing a tantrum because someone disagreed with you, or else you just lack the maturity to understand that your opinions are not laws of nature and that people are going to disagree with you.

You're a - in my book because you are asinine about how you disagree with people. it's one thing to respectfully disagree--people do that all the time and I never rate someone - soley because he disagrees with me.

But if he acts like a jackass, that is a sure way to get a - from me. And you're right there, pal. So put that and your rolleyes smiley in your pipe and smoke it.

PS Stimpy's back on my - list, too, for the same reason.

quote But your post was a direct put down, while mine, against todd, was not meant to be that way.

And Todd knew that how?--when you compared his ability in an unfavorable way to someone else?
I read it as you automatically believing the other person was better and thus Todd being less able. From his emoticon reply I suspect he did too.

I don't mind if someone does it to me because I know what I know--and more so-am well aware of what I don't know. I'm one of the old dinasaurs you keep saying you wish would go ahead and die.
You think the older mmembers enjoy seeing a young man still living at home say things like that?
Don't worry, my time comes. When it does, I hope you celebrate it in a fitting manner.

Maybe you don't realize you do it, maybe your intent is not to do it, but it happens-probably more than you realize, and is the cause of your ratings bar being less than what you would probably like to see it be.

I apologize for my snide remarks toward you, partly because it didn't help this thread, but also because I used to be just like you. Disliked everything & everybody that didn't agree with my personal beliefs or philosophy, and let it be known I didn't like em. I was finally able to put myself in other's shoes and learned to try to be a lot more tolerant, tactful, and understanding. Not always successful at it, but try I do. You are young yet-still full of passion and impatient for your chance to change the world. Well, go get em young man!!

Well it wasn't meant to be 'unfavorable'.. Yes, I did imply that from what I've seen, I believe shawn knows more from a technical standpoint. I may be wrong, if so, well, I'm wrong. Not to say that it's derogatory. Obviously, I ask about bodywork all the time, and am not going to be insulted if someone thinks someone else knows more about it than me. Granted, I have kind of strayed from tech, as the questions and responses are a little predictable recently (replacing said filter will not always fix said problem), and for all I Know he might be bangin off engineering answers, but from what I have seen, I still say shawn is more technically knowledgeable.

Now that depends, I don't think i've ever said that to you specifically. I DO say that to people who come off as sexist, racist, homophobic, etc. Perhaps I do look elitest, but I believe we are better off without them. Sure, it's probably a product of environment, but it just breeds and breeds. While you do want to nuke the world, you've never said "Nuke Africa".

quote I apologize for my snide remarks toward you,

And I say, ditto.

OoooooooooooKayyyyyyyyyy,

Here is something interesting, the Manufacturer recommends 5 degrees of Caster +/-.5 degrees for the Power Steering rack rather than the traditional 3 degrees for the manual racks.

They also require a 36/100 Alt instead of the Base Coupe 30/85, not an issue on the GT or Formula. So any Base Coupes out their with the N41 RPO Code will also have the RPO code for the larger Alt.

Wow, what a nice sentiment to see after being in the hospital since Thursday.

quote Originally posted by stimpy: Wow, what a nice sentiment to see after being in the hospital since Thursday.

Welp, I've learned to live with it.. You?

Anyone who has the money for a item.... Would deserve it. In my opinion.

Im not siding with anyone on this....... But if im selling something and someone wins the auction and has the money then that person would get whatever I was selling.

Him being a @sshole
Smart
Dumb
Retarded
old and senile
a bone head
ect ect.

I really don't care who won it or got it..... But stating that your glad that person A did not get it and person B deserved it.... Is noughting but plain envy of person A.

Yes shaun did not play nice, But it should not exclude him from not getting a item, When he had the money for it And won fair and square at the auction.

For christ sakes your not selling the item to a murderer, or nazi

Even though you don't like me very much and we don't agree on a lot of things, I hope that whatever put you in the hospital is all straightened out now. I know you have a wife and kids in the school or where ever you work, that need you, so get well soon.

Can I be the first to ask what you are talking about? Shaun didn't win ANYTHING. He blabbed that he won the auction and was going to set the thing on fire (or so I'm told) just to piss people off. When it was reveled that he was full of **** and that I actually was the auction winner, people naturally felt relief. Why is this a big mystery that people are glad I ( a sharing person) got it instead of the king of trolls?

You know what...this is a tragic ending to what SHOULD be one of PFF's premier threads. For those who love the Fiero and want to know all about its history, here we have the rarest of rarities and are we talking about measurements, calibration, design, weight, dimensions, connectivity, diagnostics, etc? No, the ****ing assholes have taken over the thread for the sole purpose of showing just how much they think of themselves and how little they care about the wishes of others.

I am starting a Tech thread for those interested in actually learning about this amazing piece of hardware. The dickheads (you know who you are) need not drop by.

End thread.

Sorry if I offended you with that comment... But I was under the impression that he did not recieve the item because he was not liked Or not part of this board, If that is the case then I still see that as of wrong or not fair. If he was selling something that any of us wanted, Then im sure he would sell it to anyone that has the money for it.

If he was blantly lying about it then, Yes he doesn't deserve it and was full of @hit..... Personally Im just glad it's going on a fiero instead of a tbucket or something.

I agree he was a major pain in the @ss and a troll ..........that I agree with you.

About him saying that he was going to set it on fire.... Is just more babble from the same old shaun.......I doubt anyone would spend $1200 on something just to set it on fire No one could be that stupid, Even him.

One more thing. How will this help us on whoever is getting it? Are you making or producing kits? If not then it's only another piece of automotive collected history.

No flame intended at anyone, Im just stating a opinion.

I may have another EHPS system available in the near future. The GM engineer I purchased the 88 Fiero that "included" the system sold to Todd, has another that I hope to purchase. To Be Fair to all, I will put on ebay with notification here with photos and WITHOUT a Buy It Now! Should be a couple weeks as I am out of town for a week and plan on picking up w/o 3/14, and will post item number here on PFF. For those of you not registered for ebay but would like to purchase a system like the one sold to TODDSTER, here is your notification to register now! I WILL NOT sell early.
