OK, big boy, you just crossed the line BIG TIME with me.
1. I don't give a shit if you agree with me or not. You make it out like I need your consensus. I DON'T! You make it sound like I need some kind of "fan club". I DON'T! I could care less if you are on my side or not. You think that's why I'm on this forum? Geezus, get a ####ing clue.
2. You actually think that "I" was "clamoring" for people to buy memberships? Get another ####ing clue, buddy! I made a "SUGGESTION" that people consider buying membership (NOT FOR ME, NOT FOR "MY" FORUM, NOT FOR ANYTHING TO DO WITH ME) if they felt this forum needed the support and they gained something from it. You actually think I got anything from that? Shove it up yours, pal. You have mistaken "me" for anything to do with the finances of this site. You bought or didn't buy a membership purely based on your own choice. You DIDN'T do it for "me". Don't you ####ing dare equate buying a membership with ANYTHING to do with me or anything I may gain from it. I do not represent the owners of this site nor do I speak for them.
3. What's "MY" attitude got to do with anything about what you can or can't do on the internet? I'm a free individual as are you. Do what you like just as I do. One has NOTHING to do with the other.
4. My "stature"? What the HELL are you talking about? How you view my "status" is in your own mind. I had NOTHING to do with it. I CAN'T control how your little mind functions or how you perceive the world.
My "age"? What the HELL does that have to do with anything? I just happen to be around here as long as I have. Should I start up a new username every few months so I can "appear" to be a newbie just for people like you?
Someone made my avatar for me. Do you actually think that he has sole rights to it? Do you actually think I have sole rights to it? Do you actually think that nobody can just come along and save it and do whatever they want with it?
You know what? You really blew it when you tried to condemn me for something your own mind perceived as being wrong. Painted me incorrectly? Who the **** asked you to paint me anything? I didn't ask for it. YOU did it on your own accord. You think I care what you think of me?
I post what I have posted on this forum because that's what I wanted to do. Some of the stuff I've put here has helped a lot of people. If they don't want that help, fine. They can ignore the stuff I posted. I never asked them to "paint" me in any kind of image. They do as they please.
"COMMUNITY"? I don't belong to any community that has somebody the likes of you, who would pick a fight over something as trivial as this. I share NO kinship with someone like you.
Pull your head out of the sand. You just got into my bad books. Oh, and yeah, that's MY perception of YOU.

Here's how it ends:
Xviper 10/4/06, thread closed:
This is my last post on this forum - 38,003 in all. For nearly 5.5 years, I've tried help S2000 owners all over the world, in all my "How To" threads in the FAQs in UTH and in countless thousands of PMs asking for personalized assistance.
I've encountered all sorts of unpleasant and unsavory people here over those years and I've had countless "duke 'em outs" with many of them. I've used myself as bait and as a target to draw those people out, to show others who they really are and to save them from having to deal with them. In spite of all these, I have continued to help complete strangers with their problems. I have travelled all over this continent to meets and have made friends and personal acquaintances with hundreds of S2000 owners. Those, I shall always cherish.
Here is the beginning of the end:
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=427692
And the "last straw":
https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=427899&st=0
I have not responded in that thread as some of those are ones I've had on my IGNORE list for a long time. Coincidental, isn't it?
A moderator just PMd me to ask me what was going on. Here is my response to him:
QUOTE
Of all the threads and individuals before this one, it has been the one that has inflamed me the most. I am about to leave this forum for good over it.
What we have here is an example of someone who made some pocket change from forum users with his "custom sig". Then someone comes on to quote copywrite laws. This guy essentially made money from something he has taken from others. He has made a "reasonable facsimile" of a shape and a design that is solely owned by Honda. Did he ask Honda permission to use it for personal gain? He adds to his picture, wheels from known rim manufacturers (Volk, Mugen). Did he ask permission from those companies to use their wheel design for personal gain? He incorporates lips and spoiler from various aftermarket manufacturers (Mugen) in some of his "designs". Did he get permission from them?
Then he gets all worked up when I suggest that his design can be "saved" and modified by anyone. On top of that, his buddies come on to defend him. He is being possessive over something he has sold and is trying to bully others into not doing something (modifying and using his "product") that he himself, has done to derive his "product".
He could have posted up that "It would be appreciated if his product was not copied and modified, that he would like to maintain the uniqueness of them for the limited few." I would have understood and backed off. BUT, the very worst, is that he uses my so called "status" and forum age to condemn me for doing it. Then he brings up this whole business of how I solicited users to buy a membership, all of which has nothing to do with my view and opinion on this subject. There have always been people who throw this in my face, like I'm supposed to act a certain way because of some perceived notion of the kind of person I ought to be. I despise this and I am ENRAGED!
About 1/2 of all those DIY threads in the FAQs are of my origin. I have no qualms about allowing perfect strangers to use them. In fact, my threads have been printed off and distributed throughout the world. Do I act like a possessive cry baby about it? Do I charge people to use them? Do I prevent others from doing whatever they like with that information?
I've just been alerted to his new thread in SoCal where everyone has come to his defense and to flame me. It's interesting that I've had many of those respondents on my IGNORE list for a long time now. I won't even bother to enter that thread to defend myself. I think that's it. I'm done. I will post one more post and I will never again be seen on this site. Over 5 years here and each year, there are more and more idiots turning up.
You've been a good friend. It's been a pleasure to have met you and to have known you.
Oh and don't worry, I won't register a new username and come back. Not going to happen. Unlike some others who have left, I'll leave all my threads here for everyone (new and old) to use them as they please. If that will help and enhance their S2000 ownership, that's great.
I shall no longer respond to PMs from anyone seeking assistance with their cars. Actually, I will no longer see any PMs after this evening as I will log out for the very last time. There remains many others here who are well versed in the S2000 to help you.
