Wow, I have a nice drink of wine, go to bed with happy thoughts, and wake up to this. I gotta leave early this morning so I'm not going to have a lot a time to massage this thread or think about what I'm going to say in closing....and I will have something to say to everyone involved. I'll see what I can do and then I'll finish it up later.
SOP sums it up nicely...
Off topic-to get back on topic. Kinda at odds here, but I'll take the adult approach (shocking, right?). BDF (Brian) is a friend and all around great guy who along with Man Of Blues (MOB) (great guy as well) have contributed as much info as all the rest combined to the C14 community. Please, respect their opinion. Was there some dumping? Certainly, as a newb to this forum, as well as any other, there is a certain amount of time in learning personalities, road goes 2 ways. Lots of things are tolerated here that are blasted elsewhere, strong, foul language isn't one of the things tolerated, and rightfully so. I sold my hot rod of a C14 early this year, yet I am still a regular because I genuinely like the folks, we have a few squabbles, but I feel it is safe to say we'd help out should something ever arise where we could be of help. Swallow the humble pill, make amends, and move on.

To say that I'm disappointed in how this thread turned out is an understatement. To everyone,
we don't tolerate the kind of language and video that I had to censor. I don't like censoring posts and threads. It upsets me and I don't like to be upset. It causes me not to drink. This is
one the only place (well the UK forum as well, but that's it) I come to be happy with like mostly minded people who love the C14. There are ways of expressing an opinion here that do not involve personal attacks from both sides of the aisle. AND just because an individual says things that raise ire is no cause to respond back in like fashion.
After an initial WTF from myself concerning the OP and his ideas on modifying the C14, I found myself wanting to see what he was going to do in spite of his heresy. You know guys, we need people coming here with fresh ideas on modifications...however, the manner that these ideas came across to the membership was somewhat different than what we were used to unfortunately. Sigh.
As a reminder, there is an ignore button...somewhere. Just use it if you don't agree with someone's opinion.
