Too late! Its already been done!

http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/showthread.php?t=230546&highlight=walgaman

See post 20.

I really wanted this walgaman pic to show right here but for some reason could not get it to attach.

It is my wife's favorite picture of me! (she loves green!)

Not the one I was thinking of.
The one I had in mind would have earned you the nick name "Tubby"
Or was it "Tubby Walgamuth" or "Tubby Tom" or ..... never mind !!



Glad to see your rim didnt disintegrate on the way home !!

Thank goodness beauty is in the eye of the beholder and she sees me as attractive (or at least has me convinced).

And I find her attractive too after 34 years of holy matrimony.

That's really all that matters.

Ah, ah, peachparts delusion #17. Anyone who gets banned does so because someone went crying about their boo-boo the mods who then took a close look at the behavior in question and went all overbearing cop on someone's ass.

I was accused of it once before, it wasn't true then either, my guess was that the mod encountered the remark all by their lonesome and saw it for what it was.

If the gentleman is implying that I PMed the mods about SRJ's latest in a series of trolling posts, the gentleman is incorrect. I posted my own opinion on the matter and went to bed. The next day I found that I had incurred an infraction.

What friend of SRJ turned me in is what I want to know?!!

Oh and MTUpower, git ovvverrrr it. Your buddy will soon pick up where he left off.

Guess your "rules" are baloney with macaroni as my kids would say. Perhaps you meant to imply I was the crier?

Get over what? I say something and that's it. I don't spend time worrying or crying about it as obviously you are doing here.

The implication I thought I heard was that SRJ was being targeted by various members. But what do I know.

Your reaction struck me as more impassioned than the drama called for.

I think Roy (whunter) had a comment in his signature that covered your circumstance.

The wholesale belittling of some one who just wants to post a bit about the success of a industry leader (WB) who happens to originate from his home town suggests there may be some targeting.

The blatant lopsidedness of the allowable insults to some, is also very evident. The need not to hurt some members feelings at the same time having open season on others appears to be common place.

It is clear that there are some who appear to have serious chips on their shoulders about goings on in your countries past. Maybe some need to get over that.

Much of what I have seen appears to be straight from the BC book of controlling others.

Yet, if the past is any indication, Joe will be right back here for more when his next ban expires. Why?

More whining about unfair moderation? How can this be? Weren't you one of the members who, along with SRJ, was giggling like a little schoolgirl when Carlton was shown the moderating door? Now that he's gone, this place should be forum Nirvana for you and SRJ and Billybob and others of your ilk. Yet, it is not. Sad, really.

I'll break it down for you: If you are looking for a venue where you can indulge in name-calling, religious insults and other acts of douchebaggery without being held accountable, you are at the wrong place.

I was tempted to suggest that you run over to Benzworld, with their more liberal moderating perspective in their Off Topic section, then recalled that your idol, SRJ, has been banned over there on more than one occasion:

http://www.benzworld.org/forums/off-topic/1493779-skid-row-joe.html

Why don't you review some of the pearls of wisdom shown here and let me know if this is an example of that innocuous Warren Buffett cheerleading that you were alluding to earlier (NSF anyone with good taste): http://www.benzworld.org/forums/off-topic/1493578-fading-car-culture.html

Is this the type of garbage that you want to see here?

Wow. Just based on the "membership" over at BenzWorld....you gotta be an epic troll to get banned over there. LOL.

I see a lot of talking down and belittling going on over there, and I just look at the W124 forum.
