As a followup - assuming you haven't followed the post linked above, Loren obviously reported my somewhat snide remark to the mods . . .
The response from John D:
Hi Loren,
Thanks for reporting this thread - but before I admonish anyone - I have to ask a quick clarification?
First - are you intending to rate all driving events and their road selections in Southern California? Or are you intending to give them the "LorenFB" Safety Chair Thumbs UP or Thumbs DOWN nationwide? Since I also host/run the OCR regions mailing list - I have not seen you proffer your opinion on that list? I'm pretty certain PCA OCR does events as well - but perhaps I missed your wise and sage "BEWARE" warnings?
Second - as you certainly don't drive that road due to it's "unsafe" condition, perhaps you should volunteer to Wayne to assist him with route planning next year? Given your efforts and warnings - I'm certain all will be "Loren Safe" - at least in your opinion?
Third - I've known Wayne and PelicanParts for - I dun'no? - About a dozen years?? Maybe more.. The single and ONLY "unsafe" drive Wayne EVER did - was alone. In a 914.... Uphill. About 100 feet from his house. Something about testing whether CV bolts.... Aww - nevermind - it's a private story..
Loren - I have absolutely no idea why you posted what you did - and then presume it was OK to use the "reported thread"...
If you have any concerns about any Pelican Event - ask Wayne.
IMNSHO - if anyone looks like a jerk in this thread - that would be you, Loren. Why you posted it in the first place is beyond me - unless you had an alternative agenda (see my comments about your new, self-proclaimed "Safety Chair" above, OK?).
As an aside, Loren. Next time you promote yourself, your business - or attempt a "veiled" threat on another business - I will personally ban you. I am also removing your avatar and your SIG. In short - you have dissed other businesses over the years - and I for one - am tired of it. You knew the rules while I owned this site and you and I traded a lot of private and public messages about the same.
For as much has changed - for you, Loren - all is unchanged.
To Wayne & PelicanParts.. I am sorry Loren's post even appears here. I'm guessing he has no where else to post it...???
John
So I guess I wasn't the only one who felt that he was trolling . . .
