With respect: you are 100% incorrect.
I've said time and again that NO BASHING of any brand or kind of tools is allowed, only honest evaluations based on actual experience. If you think anything other than that is true, then you haven't read my posts or you are choosing to create an alternate reality.
The whole debate is getting really, really tiresome. I'm a patient man, but I'm not going to say the same thing five different ways and twelve different times. No bashing is allowed, period.
Anyone who thinks that I desire or am creating a Pro-Chicom site is ignorant, and I mean that in a factual and not pejorative sense of the word. I own very few foreign tools.
Very few. For a reason.
What I want and what the admin wants is respect among members and in the dialogue.
Anyone who doesn't like it, who misses the Old Guard, who can't debate without insulting, can find another place to talk.
Period.
There's been quite a few folks who've maybe gone a little too far on both sides of the USA vs. chicom debate. What pisses me off is it appears to be OK to bash the truck brands, who all still sell at least some USA product but can't anyone be mean about the chicom brands.
Arks latest banning is a prime example. He'd been up to his old tricks in MAC threads for a while but didn't get banned until he was mean to a freighter.
