I want to say that when Burla, Hemi, RLK and I went to HTC forum we SERIOUSLY we’re looking for a friendly place to start another oil discussion AND share the experience EVERYONE has had on this thread. At the time the oil thread in this forum was completely falling apart and we weren’t sure it was going to come back.
At HTC We were greeted in a way that ahowes we were not welcome. Simple as that.....and we left promptly.
Anyone that thinks Burla was the problem. Step back and take a look at the history of this thread and reconsider your thought. Butla simply stands up for what we have done together and what he believes. Not a thing wrong with that when what we have done here is being threatened by some.
Om done. I will not talk about this ANYMORE...
This thread has been GREAT lately with lots of new faces that have contributed a lot. Lets keep it up.

My last input on that whole situation...everyone was greeted very nicely on HTC and you guys had some discussion going. But like I said before, there wasn't much interest in oil discussion simply because that forum is 3rd gen performance/drag racing and nobody has issues with oil because we all have somewhat built motors and just don't have the same issues the stockish 4th gen trucks have. Yes, I did pipe up and say some things about Burla, and only Burla. Right around that time I saw several posts from him in this thread here where he was throwing a bunch of insults and ranting at a few members. Whether they were justified or not, I don't know. All I did on HTC was simply tell the other members that the oil debate threads were basically boiling down into insult fights between members here that were disagreeing constantly. Several of you including Burla have admitted that this thread was getting very bad, so I don't know why I'm the bad guy for pointing that out months ago. Burla even stated that was why he left there temporarily. I even posted a link to the the latest fight Burla was in insulting people. And then simply left it at that. (Burla pasted my words I said here that I said in that post but erased the link to his ranting) I even said that I was simply bringing it to people's attention and that I would leave it at that if people still wanted to contribute to the oil conversation. There were a few more posts and then you all disappeared. I do not consider what I posted as a "personal attack" to Burla when I simply posted his own words. The only response he had back to that was "why bring up the past" even though it was from a few days before.
I would like to say you all are very welcome to post and talk about anything you want to on HTC and there may be members there that would benefit and contribute. But to say that I personally "Ran you guys off the forum" is 100% wrong. I think Burla didn't expect his public words to follow him somewhere else. I will even link the thread to show people he was not run out of there.

This is the last time I will talk about this, sorry it came down to that, but after seeing some of the insults thrown around here I don't feel bad. I don't have any issue with the idea of the synthetic oil debate and how much testing you guys have put into it, in that case it's admirable. I appreciate the effort that goes into it and the technical knowledge some of you have breaking down the details of how different oils are made. What I don't like is personal insults and name calling, which is why I stay away from that and call out people who do do it. There's no reason for it. I'm glad that this thread seems to have calmed down lately, great job guys. I can walk away from this now, carry on guys
