Reincarnation? (Page 10/10) 82-T/A [At Work] SEP 25, 07:52 PM quote Originally posted by Patrick: You can't tolerate someone else displaying any form of self-confidence? You'd prefer he grovelled? I think you know me enough, at least... to be honest about what my intentions are, even if you don't like the direction they go. I clearly have a high self-esteem (possibly undeserved), but I absolutely do not have a problem with others who are also self-confident, only those who are arrogant in a way that's demeaning to others... such as calling everyone else literally young and dumb, or talking about having such great experience and then saying everyone else (and assuming everyone else) is ignorant or "lower" in experience than he is. On many car forums, traditionally, you'd have a type of "good ole boy" who could barely afford the car they had, and spent all the money they DIDN'T have on said car, meanwhile neglecting their home and living in a shanty. That's not the case here on Pennock's, today. As I've mentioned in those threads, you have some seriously accomplished people on this message board, many of which are far less forthcoming about their past than I've been. So, as I explained several times, it's not that he values himself and his experience, but that he assumed everyone else was trailer trash that really bothers me. So, are we good? Or would you like to bring up another member and we can start going on and on about that? quote Originally posted by Patrick: Yeah, leaving P&R entirely I suppose could be interpreted by some as "toning it down". IMO, Yellow-88 leaving P&R has more to do with him wishing to avoid further unnecessary confrontation. What a surprise, eh? After all, it's such a welcoming atmosphere in P&R for everyone of all political persuasions. Yeah, it seems you never stop, and it becomes a merry-go-round of bickering about anyone and everyone you can possibly think about so long as someone is willing to ride with you.

It's amazing how you believe you can read other member's minds... in this case, Yellow-88's. Speaking for myself, I certainly never got the impression that I was viewed by him as "trailer trash". quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: Yeah, it seems you never stop... And I won't... as long as I feel other PFF members are being harassed/bullied by a core group of extremists here. Cliff Pennock SEP 26, 03:13 AM Film at eleven. (There's a blast from the past)
