We all enjoy banter.    I enjoy hearing from you and all of the regular contributors to this thread but I've yet to see a moderator caution over "banter".  When  anyone casts aspersions towards you or a friend, the least effective retort is to return the same.  Sometimes a sharp personal return punch can be cathartic but short lived. An informed, positive response will be far more successful in supporting your point of view.   Txab's cautions don't follow posts infused with banter 

Point taken Teach!

I'm not much for banter, discussion, debate. I have no desire to convince anyone their wrong, you believe what you want. What I dislike is rambling on due to egos or got to have the last word.

Oh Donstar, thank you ever so much for the quote. You have a good heart, there is no doubt. 

 

"cast aspersions,"

 

To "cast aspersions," which means to make unfair or disparaging remarks about someone or something. It is often used to describe criticism that harms a person's reputation.

 

So as long as the rocks thrown only hit this old dog....... 

 

Disparaging remark is a remark according to The GNU version of the Collaborative International Dictionary of English is:

 

1.) Expressing a low opinion of; 

 

Fair: Fair means being marked by impartiality and honesty, free from bias or favoritism.

 

Looks like the rocks are headed towards this old dog. 

 

Lets have a look see. 

 

Customboss disagrees with anyone who doesn't agree with him, which means he disagrees with EVERY EXPERT and LAB not bearing his name, in the field...and criticizes them all and anyone who prefers the methods they promote. I happen to be one that agrees with those experts (most of the time) and so he has repeatedly cast doubts on and belittled my work experience and my education, my earned opinion and advice to others and even has PM'd a PHYSICAL THREAT. 

 

He courted me like a Prom date to joint his club, couldn't do without my "expertise" then put me to the wall and shot me for exercising it and refusing to allow him to continue his BAIT AND BAT. 

 

My response to this absurdity was to leave his club and my works behind for him to mall and belittle (he did not disappoint) and  state that I wouldn't let him grease a Radio Flyer wagons wheels following his insufferable behavior. That he had turned his Club into the thing he claimed to hate. Was that UNFAIR? UNTRUE? Was it dishonest? The punches I threw was COUNTER. 

 

Proverbs 20:11 

Even a child is known by his actions,

Whether his behavior is pure and right.

 

Look to the posted images section for the pack reaction

 

Point, set and match

 

Now was that the best ME? It was not. The Radio Flyer comment was catty.   I could stand there and let him strike me until I have no cheek left to turn. I left the room and he followed me...EVERYWHERE and his little band. Fact is I've used every tool available and he/they just keeps coming.  

 

He has sought out and destroyed my every thread. He's on a mission.... FAIR has no part in this.

When you bite on the bait of pleasure; make sure there isn't a hook in it. 

Thomas Jefferson

 

Me thinks it applies to accepting invitations from those whose favorite hobbies include "Bait and Bat". 

 

Fall for it once and your adventurous and unassuming. 

Fall for it twice and your forgiving and eternally hopeful.

Fall for it thrice and you need your stupid.

 

I do not consider myself stupid. I do consider myself forgiving. Not the same thing as naively trusting.

No!

I can believe this chart is accurate based on the DIC mileage readings I received in a once owned '91 Sedan deVille which had the most accurate DIC mileage reading of any GM car I've owned. Based on measurements taken on the same stretch of road the sweet spot according to the instant mpg for this car was 68 degrees F, any warmer and outside ventilation had to go replaced by a/c. The instant mpg reading was so sensitive that even at 66 degrees the mpg was less than 68.

I for one would like to see the two of you call a truce to this pissing contest. No one except maybe the two of you enjoys reading this bullshit!  P.S.  If you have to hate on one another, there's always the PM method, after all some of us have virgin eyes .

I'd love to @garagerog. I have him ignored and blocked six ways to Sunday. I don't write in the threads he starts. A courtesy I am denied. I have his number blocked on my phone. Blocked to PM me. I don't want to talk to him. Don't to see him. Don't want to know him.

 

But I expect you've notice the creative "Work Arounds" he's used to 'Be Seen' and continue his "Bait and Bat", and there is no shortage of individuals willing to quote his replies to me with whom I have no particular issues. He has manage to derail almost every thread I've created. He now has an entourage who tag along and tag his every word. They are all blocked.

 

I've let a few of them, including him, back in from time to time on encouragement from better angles. Never do they fail to disappoint.  They have options. Don't read my stuff. Block me. Ignore me and I've even suggested they do. I expect a sky writer any day now. He will respond to this 

 

Frankly I don't know what more I can morally do to deter this STALKER.

Like a jilted ex-girlfriend, you keep coming back to read what he has to say and react. "Ignore" isn't just a button, it means you no longer pay attention and certainly don't let him rent that apartment over your eyebrows for free. Let it go, or make up with him, but FFS the dramatic posts have us all rolling our eyes.
