You're being courteous?

I'd hazard a guess that NO ONE on this forum cares for your posting style. It's more like they tolerate your behavior because they have to. .

Once the moderator returns from vacation? That's a good one right there!

I've never seen a member, who appears to be very knowledgeable, choosing to share that knowledge in such a condescending manor. Why do you have to be so caustic when sharing your info? Can't you present it in a courteous way? Or is that just not your 'style'?

 

Internet does not show body language, demeanor and facial expression so many that take offence to someone's responses is often not as accurate as they think when they are using there own personal evaluation with limits input to conclude how a person is writing. Lets me tell you , you will know very clearly when I get pissed about someone responses. generally, my limits get challenged when a member ask for help and then seemingly has all the answer that are generally wrong to begin with and then the tread goes badly. You not sure why you are on a crusade and think that the the numbers on this forum indicate members not likely my help and my posting style. That is far from accurate if you really do the research and look at several aspects. But there are currently about 5 members that think they hold the majority consecus of all the other members but they don't.

As for you personally, I hold not negative grudge towards you and in fact I consider you more of a DIY with a fair amount of experience level. You just don't go by the book for service advise and while that is for the most part fine, but when it conflicts with my responses that can be verified as correct and data supported and empirical in nature, I tend to react by perhaps what you feel is a negative responding nature.
I should tell you that the moderator while is my freind is also a Mazda Certifide Trained mechanic with years of service experence and if he found fault with any of mty res[ponses would respnd in such! Yet he does not and at times does post how he or Mazda service does things. I read what he posts and file it away as good information that I may use in the future.
You read my response on what I did and do for a living and yet you still want to fence with how I respond to help and or steer members in a better direction for accuracy. Hmmm ok well that in the end will only cause you time wasted on this forum because all you are doing at this point is really fu*king up threads?
So you can continue or maybe see that the viewing count both members and non members(visitors) on threads you and I both respond on are now getting passed up or ignored. Ultimately it effects the count volume of this forum which reflects on the owner(s) .
So I cant word it any other way STOP what you are doing I would really hate to see you leave or worse!

 

"So I cant word it any other way STOP what you are doing I would really hate to see you leave or worse!"

Did you just threaten me? Physically threaten me? While I'm not 100% positive, I'm fairly certain that this is against the rules of this forum. I'd hazard a guess that this rule is the topper of all rules here. But as usual, you'll get a pass and skate past the violation without even a slap on the wrist...

 

Anyone who can read English and has the ability of a thought process could easily extrapolate that "worse", in context* to the post you refer to, means banned.
I had assumed, perhaps incorrectly, that you had more comprehension and professional vocabulary skills then you are displaying here.
It is unfortunate that you feel the need to resort to continually bringing attention to your self-described personality trait here, with very little constructive posts for actually trying to assist other forum members.
I'm not certain of your motive for doing this, other than trying to reach as vast an audience as possible to inform them of such.
Though I must say self-depreciation is a notable cause on the Internet as it generally is propagated by those with a decidedly opposite view.

* (choosing a word that you are familiar with)

 

'professional vocabulary skills'? Funny how much like another member you sound.

'Anyone who can read English and has the ability of a thought process could easily extrapolate that "worse", in context* to the post you refer to, means banned.'

So, for some reason you were able to 'extrapolate' exactly what Callisto meant by 'or worse'? Are you a mind reader or is there something else at play here? Isn't being forced to leave and banned the same thing? 'Or worse' makes me think of something other than being banned, as anyone would.

"It is unfortunate that you feel the need to resort to continually bringing attention to your self-described personality trait here,"

It apparently isn't obvious enough to you why I'm doing what I'm doing, I'll explain a bit. Perhaps if you've been privy to some of what a certain member here is saying to others in PM's you would better understand. I won't post any of that here as it's against the rules or should be.

I'm trying to point out the hypocrisy of how a certain member here acts towards other members he somehow feels superior to and how that member never gets his wrist slapped for treating others so poorly.

Why do this? I was treated poorly by this member a number of times, and I didn't like it, so...

 

Callisto is rude, condescending, has a poor sense of humor, insults other forum members, publicly calls for the banning of someone who criticizes him, has a God complex, and for some obscure reason is able to post messages here that come across as downright unpleasant without facing any consequences.

On any other self-respecting forum, he would be the one getting banned.

 

Lets be clear I NEVER suggest any member be BANNED!
BTW your forum tracking info shows you long on and TROLL all the threads I respond in over the last week And there is also many other aspect of where member view and conduct activities that are avalible to any member that knows where to look.

 

That's an interesting interpretation of what you've posted in the past.

Question for you, why are you tracking what others on this forum are doing and reading? Are you keeping score or something? To what end? Perhaps you should worry more about what you're doing and less about what others are up to eh?

 

The various access to information to those that are members are used for there own reasons. These area's are available on almost EBVERY auto forum on the internet. On a paranoid individual would think they are used for negative values on a forum.

EXAMPLE:
My marketer follows and is a member of "EVERY" vehicle type forum I belong to and does track and follow member movements. This is so he can gather information pertaining to a possible product that he may discus with me to either improve and existing one or engineer and design something better. He and I use a program that searches for "KEY" words that are used in threads like "BRAKES" of which I have a line of performance products based on 2 platforms I offer parts for. He will or I will get notification that a member used the word "BRAKE" and will go read the thread.

As for service related question I read EVERY new members start of a thread if only to Welcome them here to the forum and also their related service questions. I DO NOT answer every thread and would and could not posibly do that anyway. So I pick and choose what I feel like and whom I feel like helping.

I do enjoy the DIY mentality of posting bad or mythical information and try to set the information corrected. Unfortunately everyday I get a member or 2 that gets butt hurt when they are shown to be posting BS or bad information and I post corrected information.

 

there, i fixed it for you ...yes, sometimes i come on and look at the new posts list and see the little icon next to the thread title that shows the threads that i posted in and i naturally go look at the latest posts then i go look at other threads...not sure why you care enough to look at what i do on here...before today haven't been on here since 8/26/25, so you don't have to check...going to go look at some other threads now...enjoy your day
