icon? to my knowledge, no. john cohen, marc shneff, kirk rodgers, mr. progression( his name is sliping my mind) are all builders who have all done for our local market and even industry. never heard anyone of them bash the hell out people. However when the builder of a 750 hp motor claims to produce 1200hp and you call him out on it.....his customers and fans frequently confuse this with "bashing"...... when in fact it is simply telling the truth. For instance....let's say a guy has no sense of humor....and doesn't recognise that a post about Reggie's resignation was a joke...... so he get's his knickers in a wad...and marches off like Don Quixote to defend the honor of his idol. I believe that pointing this out is a civic and moral duty (right up there with feeding "The Children") so that this poor member of a hapless cult may be released from the humourless psychological bonds he is trapped in. He needs deprogramming, re-education, and a dose of South Park so that he can return to civilization as an active and alert member of society rather than a knee jerking robot who salutes automatically at the mere mention of his "Furher's" name. None of this can be considered "bashing" you understand.... it is social responsibility...of the highest order.....it is so noble in fact, that i can hardly keep the tears out of my eyes as I write this. Sigh............. |
Rich, I think you are sliping out of your mind

For the record.... as I understand it "bashing" is when you take some thing or some body and say it or they are no good without basis or fact. I agree that this is intolerable.

In all fairness and to be upfront; I have know idea what the hell this is all about and to be truthful; I just like arguing about anything. :)
Although; I do like to be rude, crude and obnoxious; at the end of the day; it's the internet! :) |

it makes me laugh when the fountain guys talk about winning races, but the a majority of the fountains that win races arent even built by fountain, theyre built by skater and dont have the terrible beak with the terrible windshield and no awful swim platform. other than that i dont really mind fountains...
Just kidding, this post makes me smile! :drink: |
Due to the internet.....
a person is now only as good as his most recent accomplishment and being the internet if it didn't happen in the last 12 mnths it didn't happen or matter. I see too many knowledgeable, experienced and willing to help individuals run off by keyboard pilots.
Once that happens we are left w/the "experts" that have read all the recent posts on said website, all their Powerboat and Poker Run of America mags and think/spew this as knowledge and or first hand experience. So a guy has an attitude. Don't read his posts! BTW, here's a picture for the Fountain fans. Here's where all of Reggies "innovations" came from. Built in 1977 :p Course all but the ugly ass beak came from the bottom of an Allison which now has multiple patents just in case. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...orspixs/51.jpg |
