Thumbs down Getting bashed on Infopop forum!

I tried posting a thread on biodiesel infopo forum after reading 3 pages of posts on how to dewater WVO that sounded like a bunch of people regurgitating Dana's pabum, and after regaining my equilibrium; started a thread offering "my 2c" on Startron diesel additve.
Immediatly Dana says my results don't exist in his opinion...????
And all these lemmings on his forum start bashing me for not having scientific evidence that my car runs better than ever and my filters are clean and don't have to get changed anymore.
It's like going to another neighborhood that has a really bad football team, but they thnk they're good anyway.....

Don't sweat it, Dana jumps on me all the time. All your T's have to be crossed and I's dotted for many on that list.
Remember though Dana is NOT a blender.... See my reply over there.

Once again, I'll mention water from condensation. Striaght WVO users who dewater somehow feel immune to condesation. So after you heat up and settle your WVO,
what keeps it from getting water in it, once it's in the vehicles tank I guess heat setteling magically protects you from that

You'll notice most of the crap is dished out by non-blenders. Don't take it personally, it's expert envy over there.

For a first statement to Dana's reasonable statement regarding naptha, you say:

I'm not quite sure how that "helps" but it won't get you credibility or respect. Besides you dragging your gripes over here, how is that going to substantiate your position that a magical additive works?

I don't mean to be offensive, but you aren't being very straight. I don't know if you and Dana have a history, but you seem to have quite a chip on your shoulder.

Sorry; on this I must agree, you do not have hardcore scientific evidence.

But; you could with some work, or call the company, and ask for their media pack, with hard scientific evidence of their claims.
FYI NOTE: Dana is a very old (still active) member of this forum.
