Two40MuscleZ Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Sorry guys, but I gotta throw in my two cents with this fooleo! The clown lists a post. Doesn't phrase it as a question, but more as a demand. You don't demand...you respectfully ask. And even then, don't always expect to have an immediate answer. But, after seeing a photo of this nimrod, it all makes sense now. If by chance he happends to read this post, perhaps he will have a clearer understanding of how Hybrid works. Maybe the word "please" would have rendered him more assistance. Apologize again, but it just kind of ticked me off with his blatant posting of a derogatory comment on another site.

Guest Anonymous Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I must have missed his post, and to think I have been carrying around this turbo wiring diagram in my back pocket for the last years just waiting for someone to be in need of it. LOL, I do not think his post was answered too fully over there either. That "Ghostkilla" likes to smoke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 MAN some people are quick to pull the GAT out. This board now boasts 2700-odd members (%active? haha), I try to read all the threads by title (new ones), and I probably end up reading 20-30 per night. I respond to a few. Quite a few more get posted than that. I've made posts that no one responded to, the *bump* technique comes in handy IMHO- A question isn't stupid until one refutes the answer. I think this guy could have done a simple search, or of course bought a haynes, you had BETTER own one at some point in time of the swap. As far as being 16 an excuse to be stupid, I certainly don't think so. I was 16 by about 3 months when I first started my hybrid project, about 17 and 3 months and still going *sigh* ... anyway, I deal with the same car people you guys do, and obviously my experience (or lack thereof) leads me into some frustrating situations. I often get second-guessed in my efforts (although the fellow who owns the local machine shop is finally handing me a small amount of prestige as I fixed his computer for some work ). Not once on this board have I ever been responded to impartially, I have no other Z board needs, they all stop here. I love this here board. I would have expected more from a Z "fellow," but I suppose that there will be opposition on both sides of the tugrope.. (L6 purists, anyone? ) Hopefully things cool down. -980mak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyMIz Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 all i have to say is at least he didn't get someone telling him to search the archives.That is just a pain in the butt to have someone tell him kinda snotty to do it.I would rather have no one reply than to get bad dumb replies.Just my two cents and mak is right there are alot of posts and sometimes mine don't get replied to and it's no big deal.FWIW i knew about cars way before i was 16.I could do alot at 13 that most people can't now.But i have been around cars my whole life so that could be some kind of excuse.

blueovalz Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I feel fortunate the the forum I most spend my time at is well moderated and it's members for the most part remain fairly civilized and mature in their remarks. Let's continue this good work youz guyz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperDave Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 I don't normally make subjective judgements about this place since I'm basically a lurker, but this one cries for attention. For the record, I'm a moderator at a geek forum which is large enough to swallow all of HybridZ and ZCarChat without a noticeable increase in bandwidth - we have over 30k registered members and well into 7 digits' worth of posts, not including archives. Even among our relatively mature members, incidents like this one are frequent occurances and I arbitrate them regularly. Were I moderating that area, I'd have taken down this "factoid" person immediately, as he's obviously just interested in trolling - after a first post like that in my forum, there wouldn't be a second. As for "Ghostkilla," he's done more damage to HybridZ by defending it and himself with such vehemence than if he'd left it at the first couple posts. I mean, come one, people! You're taking the phraseology of a child as a personal attack. Instead of showing that you can take things in stride, you've declared us (yes, us, I've been a member here longer than anyone whom I'm calling out) to be a group of hypersensitive extremists who can't even handle a child in stride. If you get such a rise out of something that meaningless, how do you handle rusted suspension bolts and hidden electrical shorts? Take a breath, people. Re-prioritize. You don't need to defend HybridZ from a 16-year-old, especially when your idea of defense proves him right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 SuperDave.....you hit the nail on the head. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Super Dave, YOU WANT A JOB??? Well written and spot on on EVERY Comment. I personally didn't see anything wrong in the original post over on Zchat. The guy didn't get the info he asked for because no one here could help him. It happens all the time. I personally didn't think he was bad mouthing HybridZ, and the responses that followed certainly did NO good to promote this site, and as stated by SuperDave, were VERY immature. Lets move past this... My daddy can beat up your daddy has no place with regards to anything associated with HybridZ. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted August 12, 2002 Share Posted August 12, 2002 Yeah, I wish the responses over there had been more tactful. But calling us "those hybridz bastards" just because no one had an answer for him was pretty ridiculous. Not worth the flame war that ensued though! Dave, anytome you want a job moderating, you have my vote too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David K Posted August 12, 2002 Author Share Posted August 12, 2002 to me > sorry guys it wasnt meant to start a flame war. i was just posting so you guys can see that somebody was unhappy with us and didnt get something answered. the flames started over there cuz some guy jumped out from nowhere and grabbed my balls and twisted them.im sorry.
