When I posted on the 500e Board, I gave my takes on the car repair and mechanical engineering theories with my best judgement. If you know the extent of the theoretical background I have in engineering, you will know that all my posts are solidly based on my knowledge in fundamental laws and practical experience. Anybody who likes to know my books is welcome to PM me. Do I make mistakes? Of course, all the time. I always welcome rational discussions. JC220 reminds me the SB* on Benzworld. He is the reason that I had to put out a disclaimer in the beginning of my posts: If you don't like my posts, please put me on your ignore list. Over the years, I noticed his bad attitude toward my posts. As I said, I always welcome rational discussion based on science and experience. Dave is the glorifying example on this forum, knowledgeable and open to the new ideas and different opinions. JC220 just struck me as the SB* of the Benzworld. Last time when I was about to post my transmission fluid issue of my E320, I noticed the JC220 gave me a dislike without any comments.. I remember that he never gave me any positive comments over the years.
Then, I thought, what the heck. If he can give, he should be able to take.
So, I did what the beer commercial did. I do not normally give a dislike, if I do, I gave a lot to JC220. I did not count how many. I was surprised, I did not hit 100.
Perhaps, this can clear the air and we can all go back to be civilized again.
