My rating finaly got up enough to show up. As you can see, THANKS TO TODD & HIS FRIENDS, it's altready nearly at 50% negative because he mis-represented an item on ebay & then brought the fight here. I TRIED to get OPINONS ON THE CONDITION OF THE ITEM, & he jumped in & started telling lies & calling me names in his very first post. https://www.fiero.nl/forum/Forum2/HTML/087545.html
Now they're ganging up on me at the Pace Car site, all the while claiming I'M the one who "won't drop it"! BTW they haven't droped it here either. Todd's latest post claims he had his friend's at ebay replace his negative & neutral feedback (after having them remove it!), but if it's there it's so far down that no one will ever see it. (it's no longer in chronological order)
ANYWAY, all the good people here that I've helped (& maybe those tired of todd's bullsh!t) need to leave me a "+" to keep me from getting kicked off. Also, those that need to contact me in the future please realize that if todd & his buddies succeed in getting me banned, I'll no longer be able to get in touch with you. Please email me at ImThaDriver at yahoo if this happens. I'm posting this here & in the mall 'cause that's where most of my threads are (helping people & buying/selling parts), & therefore this is where you're most likely to see it. I hope Cliff dosen't move it.
And todd this time STAY THE PHOQUE OUT OF MY THREAD!!! If you had done so in the first place NONE OF THIS BULLSH!T WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!!

Just a heads up, threads like these almost never turn out well, usually just resulting in more negatives and a nasty mess.

+ from me tho, you've had good input on the forum.

The best revenge would be to have a good life and let it pass, you will never change the minds of those taking his side. The only thing you will do keeping this going with thread after thread is push those on the fence over to the other side. Let it go, things like this tend to work themselves out.

I checked and I haven't rated you at all, I have read over the threads once or twice but don't feel its worth getting involved. Poking Todd will not make him change his mind. Move on and let it go, they will find another target soon and you will not have to worry about your bar.

Oh and I would say your ratings are a solid 24 30 out of 50 60 I wouldnt worry just yet.

Paul:

Here's a + from me just to help out. I have no axe to grind with you, and see your inputs as valuable.

I agree with the others though, time to move on.

Ok don't misunderstand me here: I'm not looking for any response or debate on the subject (in the above link). I just thought there was a little background info needed. This is not about who you believe in the above thread.
I just want folks to give me a + if they think I deserve it, 'cause most folks (including me) usually don't think about it when someone helps them in a thread. If you raed a thread that I contribute in & it helps you, try to rember to give me a +. I *do* know all of my minuses are from the above thread, though...
I also wanted to let everyone know how to contact me if I do get kicked off. This forum is not life or death for any of us, but I don't want to be in the middle of a deal or something & loose contact.
Thanks guys,

Edit: It does pi$$ me off when I see that red line, though. I guess people just can't see the truth, & don't want me to stand up for myself.

[This message has been edited by Tha Driver (edited 01-01-2008).]

you already had a + from me!

Just let it go. I know it sucks and i've read all thats went on but man, its eating you alive. Oh, and this is the tech section

You alrady got one from me long ago. I hope this doesn't end up getting you kicked off, but there are many others who lost priveledges and came back with another user name.

When they behaved themselves, they got to stay on. I don't think you would have trouble doing the same. You'd just have a new name!

Good luck, though. We would miss your input!

Another + from me to help out.

Not to come across as a jerk, but I really don't care about any tiffs between forum members and this cross posting across the various portions of the forum are pi$$ing me off. I'm about ready to start throwing some negatives around just to see this crap end.

I'm not on anyones side. I don't know either of you so if it comes to it, both get negatives.

Kinda sad that a thread is bringing a bunch of free +'s to this member. I have dealt with "Toddster" on a weekly basis and have had NO problems with him. I have also purchased items from him on Ebay and the transaction went very smooth. It is a shame that 1 bad transaction results in a thread like this. If it is that easy, can I have a free + from the members also.....just to boost my ability to voice my free opinion?

threads asking for ratings and threads about other threads are against the Posting rules.
you got a 2 for 1 here.

PS, you have no way of knowing if your negs came from Todd or his friends.

I will not get into who's right or who's wrong on this one.

I will note that as a relative Newbie to this forum, I have read a great many of your postings as I was quietly lurking in the shadows. They always seemed to be informative, well written, cordial, and usually quite helpful. As I see it, it would be a shame for this forum to lose member who has been such a great resource to our entire community.

Not that it counts for much, but that's my 2 cents on the subject.

Don't sweat it. Todd has his little band of merry boys that will throw negs on command. That alone can only effectuate a ban if you have not contributed enough to gain green

you'll be fine. I threw you a plus just on the principle that contrary to his own delusions of grandeur todd doesn't run the joint.

Paul, You've got my support so a + coming your way from me. Your an easy guy to deal with when buying and selling. And I was also following that ebay related thread and that got way out of hand. Pretty sure he even proved himself wrong atleast once.

Please read my first post & the other above. It explains why I'm here. It's not about todd's BS.

This thread, and especially its location is a big steaming pile.

Yeah, I agreed with Driver in his ebay thread, and maybe asking for plusses there would be tolerable, but in the tech section....nah.

Sigh... I don't think you're a jerk for posting your opinion. But please re-read my first post & the 5th one down. They explain why I'm here. It's not about todd's BS. If I haven't posted info helpful to you then don't leave me a +.

Thank you. I spend a lot of time here & the vast majority of it is trying to help others. If I had been here longer, I wouldn't have to worry about the negatives. Since I've only been here a short time myself, I had very few +s 'cause as I said people just don't think to give them. It's not a good system 'cause a group can get together & have someone banned quite eaisly when they're new. I was really shocked when I got enough for the graph to show up & it was nearly enough -s for me to be banned. I've done nothing to anyone here.
Thanks again,
