He sent me a nasty PM accusing me of being some Guy named Joe and of using different user names and accounts here. I remember him being part of the Posse here and other forums that would harass members they did't like.

People who've been on the forums for a long time have seen many-a-loser come and go. Trolls, idiots, pot-stirrers, etc. Sometimes, when someone comes on here, well intended but inadvertently giving off a similar "vibe" as these many problem members, it hits a nerve and throws out red flags to veteran forum members....fair or not. If you're genuine, and you got that kind of reaction from PLRX, it was likely a misunderstanding. PLRX has been a valuable, productive forum contributor on here for a long, long time.

If you do a member search on that ID, it does not exist here (anymore ?? used to ??) It shows up in other Corvette related forums, with old posts, nothing current.

I've met him. Hes real and a stand up guy. If someones been crossed up by him, they probably deserved it.
His value to this board is in the stickies.

As long as he doesn't accuse you of being Hokey I wouldn't worry.
