Just ugly women and abject weirdness. Pass...

He was just noise. No music.

He had me on ignore and I am probably one of the least offensive people around. I thought that was interesting.

He had me on ignore more than once. Mostly because I would call him on his BS and wouldn't set by and let him slander toyota.


I say good riddance.

Don't miss Snipe much but he was entertaining occasionally.
What happened to Byron? Haven't seen any posts from him in a while...

Have to agree. But, I didn't dislike him.

Well, maybe I did. But, he was hard to hate, that much I'll say.

I've known Snipe since the old days when he posted on the other exotic car forum. Bit of a hot pistol, but I never felt compelled to cross him although I didn't join in on all his threads.

Not a Mule by any stretch. Compared to some still here, I think he was pretty mild, with a few angry outbursts.

BTW, a 928 can feel pretty darned exotic if you happen to own a nice one, and I would never go out of my way to dispel a man's notions about his ''Porsha''. We don't all have as much in our lives to fall back on. For some of us, it would be like poking fun at someone's child.

Juvenile banter takes on a different tone when you touch on a man's dignity when he is down, as do the responses. But what do I know ?

I liked Sniper.

I've been on this forum a long time, and Muhollondose, Mule, and him had similar approaches, though Sniper was the most reasonable of the three.

I don't hate him in the least, I just don't think that he's some interesting guy. I guess it depends on what, (and whom), you encounter in your normal/off-line life.

Didn't mean to imply YOU hated him. I just interjected that on my own. There are some here that are hateful, though.

I do not miss him, nor the homoerotic love fest threads about him.

This should be the last of it....................I can only hope.
