EPA set to repeal many laws and policies....

How about these guys?

What about them? Don't see a single necklace in the group.

[Kern Dog]

Still stuck on that, huh?
In the interest of trying to show some common ground, I tried a neutral theme yet you still had to be your usual, miserable self.
Did I accidently insult you with the comment about suspenders on old men? If so, that was not intentional.
Your actions resulted in your current position....A grumpy, lonely hermit chock full of envy and regret for the bad choices that you have made.
Maybe if you had a sense of humor and a decent personality, you'd have met a woman and had some sex. Stuff like that would have made you a happier man.

[Kern Dog]

This guy also wears a necklace which seems to trigger Knuckle into a teenage girl type of tizzy....

The guy is a blowhard but he does make sense sometime.

[John_Kunkel]

Still stuck on that, huh?

Yup, it's sad that you don't recognize the irony of a guy like you who wears a necklace being so critical of other people's attire.

Did I accidently (sic) insult you with the comment about suspenders on old men?

Nope, but its obvious that I touch a nerve whenever I point out your inflated ego and your propensity to criticize anything and everything other people do. The epitome of a Karen.

Like I said...let's wait and see. Nothing is settled until all the appeals and lawsuits are settled...then you can pound your chest and proclaim "I told ya so".

[Kern Dog]

You criticize an ego while maintaining a disdain for a fashion accessory that bothers you so much.
Irony and hypocrisy is strong with you. You somehow think that your opinion matters, much like a neighborhood Karen.
It must be terrible to be the "get off my lawn" guy, the old loser that is at the point of his life where he is too old to do all the things that he missed out on doing.
You are the turd in the punch bowl in every thread here. Nobody asked you for a "counterpoint" of this manner.

Non-sequitur, one has nothing to do with the other. Inflated ego is quite apparent when one brags about their "movie star good looks" and posts his image all over the www.

BTW, here's the latest so you can keep up with "fashion trends".

the point of his life where he is too old to do all the things that he missed out on doing.

Your day will come, and when it does that inflated ego won't turn back time.

You are the turd in the punch bowl in every thread here.

Why, because I disagree with your pathetic social/political views and don't allow you to dominate every thread? Once again, it's all about YOUR exalted opinion is the only one that is relevant...you expect everybody to just fall in line and never challenge your "king of the board" status.

Nobody asked you for a "counterpoint" of this manner.

But I gave it anyways...chaps your ass that you can't be the emperor of the forum, eh? Must be a real blow to your already inflated ego.

[Kern Dog]

Always a GREAT asset to the forum, doing nothing each day except following me around.
I have no interest in you, man. I am married and I like women. Your unhealthy obsession must be the driving force for waking up every day.

[John_Kunkel]

Always a GREAT asset to the forum, doing nothing each day except following me around.

Only an uber-inflated ego would perceive anybody following him around. I was on this board long before you.

Anyone with a single eyeball can see how you jump into topics that I start JUST to be an asshole. It is obvious to everyone.
As far as adding any value to the forum, you quit doing that long ago.
How many threads have you started that actually motivated other members to respond? ONE...it was about cordless tools.
YAY!
When was the last time that you rebuilt a carburetor, installed an exhaust system, put in new shocks or painted a car?

Your inflated ego makes you think you speak for "everyone". What you see with your "single eyeball" is someone who threatens your dominance of the board and that makes you fabricate conspiracy theories on everything.

As far as adding any value to the forum, you quit doing that long ago.

As I've said before, I will go toe-to-toe with you on any automotive subject. Knowledge adds value to any forum. My ego doesn't need to be stroked by posting "look what I did"...your contributions are all about YOU.

How many threads have you started that actually motivated other members to respond? ONE...it was about cordless tools.

Some of us aren't post whores whose ego makes them want to see their name on every post.

When was the last time that you rebuilt a carburetor, installed an exhaust system, put in new shocks or painted a car?

Your ego makes you think you "do it all" when, in reality, all you do is overhaul parts using a kit with instructions, install replacement parts and install modification kits with instructions that you whine "aren't clear enough. In short, it's all about YOU and your contributions.

When you go to the metal yard for the raw materials, design and build your own car components, built an exhaust system from scratch including the headers, adopt a generic shock to fit your car, modify a part instead of buying a readily available part simply because you can, fabricate a rolling chassis starting out with only two rails and a crossmember, then you'll have something to brag about...and you will.

Is this you, John?



Is this why you always follow me around to comment on what I write? I'm still able to do all of this stuff and your time is over?
That is incredibly petty, man. Instead of being how you are, why not focus your efforts on helping others to be as good as they can be? We all have room for improvement.
Even though you can't do anything physical anymore, you still have years of knowledge that can help others.
Being a grouch that bitches at the ones that still can do things will never impress anyone, it only makes you look like a bitter old man.
I sure never stated that I'm more skilled than others here but I sure am more active. Sometimes it motivates me to get busy out back when I see what others are doing. I get PMs frequently from other forum members that were inspired or helped by something that I posted about. I have messaged others for the same reason.
What you're doing achieves none of that. It only serves to make you look like the guy that showed up to the orgy too late and nobody wants to screw you.

[John_Kunkel]

Is this why you always follow me around to comment on what I write?

There's that inflated ego again, I don't follow you around, I was a regular on most forums we share when you were still tooling around in your Queermaro  and I comment so you don't dominate the thread.

I'm still able to do all of this stuff and your time is over?

As I said earlier, your time will come and when it does there will be some younger wannabe blowing off his mouth about how great he is when, in reality, it's just his ego talking.

That is incredibly petty, man. Instead of being how you are, why not focus your efforts on helping others to be as good as they can be? We all have room for improvement.

Totally agree, but your idea of helping others is to start threads basically saying "look what I did" where my idea is to answer questions and contribute to a thread rather than starting one...simply a difference in style with the end result being about the same. 

Even though you can't do anything physical anymore, you still have years of knowledge that can help others.

That's why I'm here and to learn. Rarely a visit here where I don't learn something.

Being a grouch that bitches at the ones that still can do things will never impress anyone, it only makes you look like a bitter old man.

You see me as being a grouch because I interfere with your attempt to dominate the board. You might notice that I'm only a "grouch" to you. Nobody else here displays an inflated ego as you do and tries to dominate the board.

I get PMs frequently from other forum members that were inspired or helped by something that I posted about.

Don't doubt that your how-to's have helped many and inspired them to follow but I question the motives.

Back on topic, I sincerely hope that all the predictions you post come to be but, at the same time, I realize that the next election might bring the other party to power and it will all be reversed. It's been that way for generations. YO-YO

I retired from construction but I sure don't go down to jobsites to tell them that they are egotists that shouldn't wear necklaces.
Seriously, if you have any interest in keeping a good reputation, focus on your strengths, not your triggers.
You used to be known as THE guy to contact for drive train issues. You're pissing on your own reputation by this constant bickering.
My efforts here are mostly to try to stoke some activity. LOOK at the titles of the threads that I have started. NONE of them have a Look at what I did that YOU can't do! sort of theme. Some people post about their plans for their cars, some post about stuff that they have done.
YOU can contribute in a positive way.
Look at these:

This is just a quick sample. What have you done to inspire others to keep this forum going?

[John_Kunkel]

I retired from construction but I sure don't go down to jobsites to tell them that they are egotists that shouldn't wear necklaces.

So what? Maybe they're not egoists. And wearing any metallic jewelry on a job site should be an OSHA no-no.

Seriously, if you have any interest in keeping a good reputation, focus on your strengths, not your triggers.

Is it OK if I don't take life advice from a self-absorbed egoist like you?

You used to be known as THE guy to contact for drive train issues. You're pissing on your own reputation by this constant bickering.

Newsflash!!! It takes two to bicker. You paint me as the one who always starts these "exchanges" when in reality it's YOU who starts them by criticizing and harping. This particular exchange started when I didn't fall in line with your talking heads' interpretation of events...you demand total agreement with your views.

My efforts here are mostly to try to stoke some activity. LOOK at the titles of the threads that I have started. NONE of them have a Look at what I did that YOU can't do! sort of theme. Some people post about their plans for their cars, some post about stuff that they have done.

Interesting that you added the "that YOU can't do!" part, never said you did.

YOU can contribute in a positive way.

I feel that I do. And, while you're searching old threads, search for and post the ones where you interject your criticisms and the fights you initiated that ultimately chased, at least, a couple of people off of this forum.

  John_Kunkel is correct and that's why I've stopped reading anything by this turd. When he admitted to intentionally trying to piss off members I knew he's just here to jack off.
  Now he will reply... but I won't read it!
