Rant for just a second or two
I am on several various diesel forums to learn all I can, and share what little knowledge I have.
It royally pisses me off when guys on the internet can never be wrong, or never even acknowledge that someone else has a valid point.

That is why I rarely comment on PeachParts. So many damn know-it-alls or self proclaimed keyboard genius' that add information from a personal experience that is hardly relevant to what the OP was posting about.

You guys ever hear of Eric Fletcher? I think there's been some MBworld drama with him. Anyway, he's pretty arrogant, VERY knowledgeable about lots of car stuff, especially chassis theory. He's pretty much universally considered a dick, *but* I kinda like him.

Anyway, here's a thread with the most (to use stupid forum lingo) "epic pwnage" ever of the most infamous forum know it all of all time. Enjoy

My name is Eric also, coincidence? Wink haha
There's a fellow on 4btswaps that is very smart, but gets on my nerves a lot. I don't really associate with the other Benz forums, because, well you guys are some of the nicest knowledgable forums I have ever been on.

the internet is a window into someones true nature OR true opinions. There are generally no consequences to outrageous behavior that would result in a broken nose in person.

Ive gotten into ridiculous pissing contests on the internet with people I later met in person, and was always shocked at how well I got along with them and how many interests we shared.

Just recently I had a very cordial conversation and a lot of fun meeting a guy who had previously told me I would burn in hell and I told him just as bad things, so it was kinda funny how I think both of us had this silly argument in the back of our minds, and got along just fine.

on another note, Simpler=better did try and stab me though. Coming up from Baltimore, he's kinda stabby, watch your back. Big Grin

(09-23-2013, 06:49 AM)JB3 the internet is a window into someones true nature OR true opinions. There are generally no consequences to outrageous behavior that would result in a broken nose in person.

Ive gotten into ridiculous pissing contests on the internet with people I later met in person, and was always shocked at how well I got along with them and how many interests we shared.

Just recently I had a very cordial conversation and a lot of fun meeting a guy who had previously told me I would burn in hell and I told him just as bad things, so it was kinda funny how I think both of us had this silly argument in the back of our minds, and got along just fine. ...
That wasn't me was it?

Lol, yeah! Big Grin

I was worse too and definitely tweaked you to that point. I apologize, was a stupid argument way back when.
Having met you I was thinking, here's a guy who's doing good things for other people, and even brought some kids he was mentoring with him, and why in the world was I internet arguing with him when we all share passions for old diesel cars? Never again.

Simpler=better didn't try and stab you as well, did he?

I'm not saying nuthin'...but some of those wagons left with tarps in the back that they didn't arrive with.

Oh, well I can debate til the cows come home. Part of the problem on the internet is that there is no emotion attached to the text, i.e. you can't tell if the person is agitated or calm.

And honestly, I've met enough people from the net where we'd fought to the death online and yet they were perfectly cordial in person. I wasn't really worried about meeting any of you blokes.

The only thing would change that would be dishonesty. If you lie to me online, falsify your sources, propagate what you know is a lie, refuse to submit to correction (this one less so).... well, I'll be suspicious of you in person.

lol,
this reminds me of the guys I had working for me in #4 Reactor Aux. Room on the 'prise... used to go around the ship "shanking" each other, usually with some sort of sound effects...well it began to catch on and people from completely different departments on the ship started doing it as well...flash forward a few weeks and they actually banned this activity on the boat. During a Captain's call on the ship's TV, the ship's leadership came out and said there would be no more "shanking" each other on the mess decks...

anyway, very amusing for me back then and even more so now with the way the Navy is getting these days...just thought I'd share.
