You know reek, this may be hard for you (and some others reading this) to believe, based on a couple of my colorful posts, but in the real world I'm a pretty easy-going guy, easy to get along with and generally well-liked... I'm a live and let live guy. As long as you aint causing me harm, my general philosophy is you go right ahead and do what pleases you, even if I might not approve of it... I'm all for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... On the flip side of that, I can also be passionate in defense of myself when called out, and especially when someone intentionally twists things I've said or didn't say with untruths. Once again, you've induced me to clear up a couple of things.
I didn't buy enough truck and overloaded it once or twice out of necessity.
Well, that's about the most vague and subjective defense I can think of, but if you feel it justifies you overloading your truck then publicly condemning me for the same thing (I actually never overloaded my truck, nor said I would) and accusing me of endangering the lives of you and your family... I don't need to defend the obvious. I'll be nice here and say that's "contradictory" at the best... Also, the "once or twice" thing doesn't really jive with your previous "mostly overload a few times a year" thing... But, whatever... once or twice, a
few times a year... who's counting?
YOU are advocating it as a regular practice.
That sir, is blatantly false. I have NEVER advocated it - never, zero. I've never, EVER,
advocated overloading even ONCE...? Not even if it was for, as you justify, "out of necessity"...? That's BS, plain and simple, and I'll advise you don't put words in my mouth and expect me not to call you out on it. With such accusations you should be prepared to use some sort of facts/evidence to back that up... You are twisting things out of context, where I was merely defending the 1500's capabilities, and now you turn that into "I advocate overloading your trucks as a regular practice"...? Again, BS, plain and simple. I've been relatively decent with you so far, but that's been a couple of times now that you've done that... I'll leave it at that for now.
a lot of time and effort invested to find all of my old posts.
Sir, it's becoming regular that you insinuate, intentionally imply things about me that again, are simply not true. To clarify, I spent not one minute, not one second to find/search for any of your posts, old OR new - that's right, ZERO "time and effort invested" - which is, for clarity, the absolute opposite of your "a lot of time and effort invested"... I really don't have any personal vendetta against you and your implication that you are somehow that important to me to use up "a lot of time and effort" searching out your posts for some sort of retaliation is, well, paranoid. The older thread that you posted in happened to be refreshed and I was merely browsing through it when I came across your posts, which coincidentally, to my surprise (and humor) happened to contain you stating you doing the exact same thing you condemned me for (which again, I never did). So yes, I called you on it... The only "lot of time and effort invested" (wasted) I've spent on you is defending myself against your twisting accusations... I've done ZERO searches for your posts...
Well reek, I'd honestly like to defend you here and say lighten up on yourself, but frankly, you're not giving me a lot to work with here... Now that I've gotten that wise-crack out of the way, I'll say this: aside from your targeted shots at me, from what little of your posts I have seen I wouldn't condemn you to doucheville... We all have flaws and I have more than my own share... but my belief is that being aware and accepting of your own flaws and trying to be less judgmental on others despite of our own shortcomings is a virtue, something I myself try to improve on.
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... and the pursuit of trying to be a better human being...
Take care.
