Letter Of Apology

From : dave com

Q: iirc you dont have to remove the steering wheel to replace the dimmer switch. it is a minor pita though since it requires a tamper-proof torx bit #20 i believe which most folks dont have. youre right - the wheel can stay on. i was thinking of some other vehicles that ive helped change the switch on and they all had to have the wheel pulled. in this particular case you just need to remove the knee bolster panel and the steering column covers to get to the switch. my local ace hardware sells a set of security torx bits for $5 or so. hey - wait a minute... i was wrong about something and you corrected me. arent i supposed to attack you now grin yeah..... you are...... bring it on!!!!! ;^ mike .

tbone wrote because all too often they are incredibly greedy. pretty much like most of corporate america. a few not most. the notion of most is what leads you so far to the left against corporations who provide the country with our jobs. lol sorry miles but you are a clear example of what im talking about. yea just like the ones who gain teh most in buisness are the buisness leaders and owners. some do. so do some unions. yet you will never say anything against these greedy unions and instead rant out against the corporation as greedy and the union as the poor innocent ones. i am not pro-union but the more i hear from you the more pro-union i become. i never claimed unions to be either poor or innocent but they sadly are a required check to keep corporations and mid-sized buisnesses in line. and yes the unions do take from my pocket. again just like you do from others with your high salary. my high salary define high salary. oh wait thats been asked and you spin around it every time. no you just refused to answer any questions about it. if i work my ass off live poor for years and build my company into something successfull then hell yes i deserve its rewards. and by what you are saying you have already received them but tell me how much is enough. oh thats righ its never enough. employees voted against a union every time the union approaches. they dont want to ruin a good thing. you see tbone their benifits are above the industry average. what i make is not relevant. sure it is because your salary is included in your cost of doing buisness and if you raise your rates to cover it we all pay in the end just like you are whining about with union workers. btw i would say that one of the reasons that you pay the way that you do is to keep the union out. it may not be the only or even the primary reason but it is there. every time i go to the store to buy something it costs more because it is union made. and this is different than what you do in what way is it that nobody is entitled to make enough to live on but you huh these high union benifits make it more costly to everyone not just me. which also happens when you and others like you pay yourselves high salaries. the money still comes from the customer so ill ask again are you the only one entitled to it you fail to realize what would happen if we were to set the minimum wage to something youd think a person could live on. if we did that do you really think they could buy more and live better i never said that but that is the reason why the rich are taxed the way that they are. if you want to keep the cost of doing buisness low then the people who work for these low rates still need to feed and provide shelter for their families. where do yuo think that money is going to come from perhaps but would you trust the health of your family to some kid making $5.00 an hour and not giving a rats ass about anything so 17/hour for an unskilled job that requires 10 minutes training is fair because of health safety thats why that persons supervisor makes a decent salary who oversees his/her department and ensures it meets regulations. an unskilled job shouldnt pay $17/hour. who pays it got for you tbone. we pay it. all of us. and we get less for our money not more. lol 10 minutes trainign huh. sorry to dissapoint you miles but a meat packer is not an unskilled job as many of them become furture butchers. because the subject was not about the unions and if they did not exist it woud become much worse for the average worker. only in a few industries not the average nor most. bullshit most of the labor laws we now have to protect the workers were caused by the unions. ya things would be so much worse if there were no baseball players union right theyve gone on strike because $250000 for a player that sits on the bench isnt enough. that union is greedy and causes everyone else to pay more. many unions are greedy. lol oh ok. its the unions fault huh wrong!!!! the high cost of tickets is due to us and us alone. perhaps you should do just a little research before opening your mouth this way. before the baseball union formed the owners of the popular teams were making hundreds of millions in profits while the players were making tens of thousands with the best of them making just over 100000. now who are the fans coming to see why its the players. the players knew this and when they couldnt get their fair share they unionized. if you want the cost to go down stop going to the games until they come down. if these companies were not as greedy as i claim there would be no way that the unions could ever gain the power that you claim that they have. bull. when they get that powerfull a companies only choice is to layoff scale back close down or move overseas. sorry but your

doesnt matter pick one they were all were saying pretty much the same thing. yes it does matter and you know it which is why you are choosing not to answer. lol sure theyre all saying the same thing so it matters which one. . .. .right. lets here some names then. well since you insist and are too lazy to look for yourself ap up and reuters for starters. nobody can turn anything into a flame war on their own. you know this and yet refuse to admit to it. the fact that you are here now shows that you are every bit as much to balme as i am since this initally had nothing to do with you and yet here you are. whine whine whine . . . but never admit you could have kept quiet. so could miles and you too for that matter. spin it any way that you want to budd but it takes more than one person to start a flame war. i read miles post as an opinion then you flamed it instead of discussing it. well i can see you refuse to take the first step toward peace. makes me glad i didnt fall for your lie again. p.k.b. spin it any way that you want to you are still just as responsible as i am. no spin just fact. youre chicken. lol what are you talking about chicken about what you doing what you demand of others. can you not see that you are every bit as much to blame as i am and if not wtf are you doing posting in this thread. having fun with a tommy-troll-boy. its my hobby. unfortunately youre not a bobble-head but a spin-head. look at this a full admission to being a troll. this thread just keeps getiing better and better for me. lol i admitted nothing you havent admitted first so you lost ground. lol your childishness is showing again. i nver said that attacking you was a hobby so that makes you a liar as well. when i said its my hobby i meant reading groups but you have said you attack me for the fun of it. no you didnt now stop lying. rotflmbo!!!! you live by a double standard tom. do as i say but not as i do. describes you perfectly. and i said what i meant. get over it. im just giving back what you claim you are having fun by doing. no i said that i could either take the crap that you dump out personally or just have fun with it and after a while i chose to do the latter. right here is one case you said you attack me for the fun of attacking me troll. i also said that i do it because you continually attack me but for some reason you left that part out. if i continually attack you i would have no time to post answers to questions you would not have any posts i do not reply to and that i do continually attack you is a huge lie from you. i only call you out when you do something stupid or incorrect . . . unfortunately that seems to be most of your posts . . . . . no it was spin to try to get me to take responsibility for your actions as well as my own. the problem is that i have taken responsibility for mine. when are you going to start still demanding respect. sorry respect has to be earned by you and then given to you. lol in what way is that any type of demand for respect when you spin it at least try to sty on the same subject. it is part of respecting another. taking responsibility for your actions and words is respecting the actions and words of others . . . you do neither but you sure do whine when it comes back and bites your butt. either way no matter how much of a troll that you accuse me of being it still would not have gone any further if you minded you own business and miles just ignored me. care to try again so why didnt you yes you ignore miles hmm you could have as easily as anyone else but you didnt or couldnt which proves you replied as a troll. nope it does no such thing. yep it does. wrong again! yes you are. only in your dreams. by your definition he posted it initially as a troll and i just called him on it. by my definiton sorry but youre making more assumptions. i used a definition based on how youve whined about trolls and such over the past few years. miles posted an opinion you flamed and trolled him over it. by your definition. the fact i weigh more than the scooter is because its not finished yet. finished it tops out between 320# and 400#. what has to be added that will increase its weight by almost 200lbs a lot. that doesnt answer the question. i thought that you would have some pride in this project and want to talk about it silly me. well tom from my experience with your mechanical knowledge i figured id be talking in what would amount to a foriegn language to you. silly me for being considerate. as for dieting maybe you should try to lose some of the fat around your only brain cell. of course your head would then collapse but oh well. once again i try to be nice and show actual concern and get venom and spite in return

lol i never said that budd has not contributed or doesnt know anything that would be him saying that to me. by his own admission he has been dealing with trolls since his second day which translates into starting shit with newbies as i doubt there were many trolls back in the beginning. after over 8 years he had better contributed more than i did in about 3. the one big difference here is that budd can say whatever he wants and right or wrong at most all he will get is corrected. if i or anyone else that is not part of the core group says anything that is not dead solid perfect with absolutely no way to misinterpret it they hear a lot of shit and most of it coming consistently from certain people and i will not make accusations as to who. i dont know which is worse; your spin on the facts or the exaggeration of untruths. how can an untruth be exaggerated i didnt know they could be until you came along. lol yea its only me. it is either true or it isnt. agreed though you often dispute truths with unproven theory. unproven in whos eyes. even when i do provide proof you either delete it or claim that it isnt reliable so why bother. i think that you know that what much of what i say is true although sometimes exaggerated. i think much of what you say is corrupted and deliberately accusatory for the continuance of arguments. p.k.b. the difference tom is simple. if im corrected by someone with knowledge i recognize as superior to mine i accept and learn from it. otoh you will cuss fight whine spin lie and anything else you can when corrected. and i am no different. really the problem is that with the exception of the core group you think of yourself as superior to all commers and if someone disagrees with you you attack them. in my 8 years here you have been the one to recieve the majority of corrections which generally result in you replying with a vengance no matter how it is worded. well when constantly corrected attacked be the same select few of the core group regardless of being right or wrong that tends to happen. you do the same thing. what sets you off imho is that there is a core group and youre not part of it. btw in my own experience most groups have core groups of some kind though most groups wont admit to it. its not the core group that bothers me its the select few in it that thinks they are better than everyone else and treats this like their private little club. while most groups have long term members they tend not to reject new people that may differ with their ideas as quickly as a select group in here does. if someone corrects me and im wrong i accept that and learn from it. sorry tom but i can remeber many times that ive tried to approach you politely and calmly only to recieve some kind of attack; on my health mentality or just that i am accepted by the core group. sorry budd but that never happens. every time you approach me it is always with some type of attack or accusation. the odd part is beekeeper and i dont get along well but in reality he is part of the core group. why would he be acceptable over you obviously i dont decide who is or isnt a member. because beekeeper is admittedly smarter than i am in dealing with people in here. his political viewpoints are much closer to those of the core group and he just laughs at and doesnt get involved in the bs that some of us do. when someone corrects me and i know that is not what i said or meant i try and explain myself. but when anyone asks for any shred of support to your position you treat them all alike you ignore the request or attack them personally. lol not true but i have learned that with certian people it is a waste of time to try. the problem is that people like you dont accept that and call it spin and attack and when that happens like you i dont back down. tom im sorry but i dont use spin tactics. ill use your own statements against you but re-worded to give an opportunity if you choose to explain you position better lol iow to spin it to suit your needs or to say what you want it to. that is the definition of spin and thank you for admitting to doing it. perhaps we can get along after all. ill use like in the political thread uncorrupted info from what should be an acceptable source against you or ill tease with non-vulgar words. just because it is an acceptable source to you doesnt make it so and vice versa. as for your health with the exceptian of some things that i said in the past that i am sorry for i do the same thing to you tease with your meds and how they must be effecting your mind. its called respect. respect begets respect. when you start showing to others that you dont know it will come back to you and the same goes for me. and dissing begets dissing. many times tom and im confident others will
