this is an excellent quote, and should be their new slogan.

Your first post on Pelican, and all for me there mountain man? I see your making alot of new friends over there you scary old "sunuva*****" (his self-proclaimed image, and certainly not my opinion

). The winds of change are blowing over on Renny....can you feel it range master? Well I certainly can!

Your hide behind a computer screen bullying with 20,000 posts days are coming to an end, probably sooner than later. People are getting tired of grumpy old computer geeks telling them what they can and can't say. Don't go ordering any new "lifetime Rennlist moderator" shirts anytime soon. Just borrow Randy V's for now and then donate them to Goodwill next month.

Todd......lovin every minute of it!

And that's why you posted in this thread, right? Based on that and that you joined into the bashing of Russ, I have to wonder if you're the lead kotex in the Wash Woman Club.

I can assure you that the BS from Rennlist will not be allowed to spill into Pelican. If you have any doubts, just keep it up and find out for yourself.

No, thats not the problem. That is the result of the problem.

IMHO the problem lies with people who post without considering how their comments will be understood or received by others.

Just because you may think it, that does not mean you should post it. Sometimes getting along with a group requires a little restraint.

And this REALLY only my opinion.....there are some individuals out there that have huge sums and uncountable hours invested in advancing the performance capability of these cars. I feel that these folks have paid their dues,shared this hard earned knowledge freely and deserve a certain degree of respect.

Rennlist.

-I am tempted to send them an email describing myself, my interests, and my history at this website...along with my theories as to why I am not allowed to post there any more.

[I was banned for calling "DonW from Cape Cod" also known as Don Watson, who has homes on Cape Cod and near Naples, Florida......an "old idiot". He didn't like the fact that I pointed out the folly of his silly stupid religion.

I intend to not only tell Don Watson what I think of him when I eventually meet the shriveled-up OLD buzzard...I might then resort to other means. I really, really want Don Watson to know the depth of my antipathy towards him. I can bench-press 200 pounds on the free-weights at Bally's; I wonder how well he knows his dentist~

Just like walking across a pasture, pay attention and you get to the other side with clean boots.

Pelican doesn't have enough drama to fuel an insurance commercial, just don't step in the occasional pile.

I bailed from Rennlist many years ago (so I don't know the current cast), and while we welcome newbs I will say that if threads turn into "rennlist-lite" with a bunch of individual attacks/bashing and whining they (the threads) will be sent to the cornfields rather quickly. We have our own drama here - no need to import any.

I feel like I'm watching a foreign film without subtitles.

What is this....this....this...."Ruinnlist" you speak of?

red-beard · red-beard's Garage

Yeah, can we wish this away back into the 928 forum?

I support that sentiment. 100 percent.

I strongly suggest that this thread, and all others related to Rennlist remain stickly "Pelicanish" in nature. In other words - keep the bashing, name calling, "he started it..." ...etc. away.

Thanks,
-Z-man, Pelican Admin

PS: If you must resort to name calling, whatever you do, DON'T call the mods or admins poopy-heads.

Do they speak "Longhood" over there? Never been over there.

Sounds like they need a good "Cool Collar" thread.

DanielDudley · 03-16-2009, 05:51 PM

Gretch is a good moderator. Bob R. is top notch. Some would say otherwise, but I like what is happening over at Rennlist. Maybe it is worth a second look...

Going over old news is like relighting an old cigar. It fills the room with a haze, and leaves an odd taste in your mouth. It is best to cleanse the palate, so as to be ready for something new.

Take a tip from Dave. Maybe read his posts again. He is a prime example of someone who has never posted rashly, and who extends himself to the community. What he is saying is not for his own benefit.

Dueller · 03-16-2009, 05:54 PM

Perhaps a little wine and cheese to calm everyone down?
