CFI-EFI, we are not here for grammar, engineering or word choice lessons, stop throwing our mistakes back at us like we are 10-year-olds just caught with our hands in a cookie jar.
The tone you use is acusitory, adversarial and just plain mean.
Personally, I would hate to work with, or be under you authority in any manner. I would be looking over my shoulder at every turn, waiting to be caught doing something minor, that you turn into a grand production of utter stupidity and failure.
Every time I see a post, I start to cringe, cause I don't know who you are going to flame out next. Take a step back, breath, count to ten, then consider your next statements; this attitude, dare I say, anger, has been getting worse of recent weeks.
I am not one to tolerate ignorance, just don't treat it like it's a perminant condition. Tact, grace, elegance and a little warmth would go a long way towards improving your reception here.
Stop the snippy, holier than thou attitude. I have about had it. And I suspect others are about done with it to.
I highly respect your knowledge, yes, I don't respect your delivery. That delivery is beginning to effect your credibility, and I would hate to see that happen. You have SO much knowledge, just don't abuse the power that comes with.
We may not always agree, but I have always considered you a friend on the forum. This is why I am making these statements. I also suspect others may a bit afraid to.... and I wonder why.

Atok, I agree, 100%. The problem here is, for all his bellowing, bogus has not uttered or typed [I]ONE[/I] word on the subject of this thread. For some, unexplained reason, he seems fixated on me. Go figure?
RACE ON!!!

What do you all think???"
You certainly sound pleased with yourself. And you'll be more pleased as you savor the praises you've solicited. Where on earth do you get off criticizing my editorial style? You've got big brass ones, buddy, and that isn't complementing your manhood.
Of course in your pursuit of praise and approval, you link that post to the scene of the crime, back here on the Corvette Forum. FIVE, count 'em, FIVE, pages of a snit fit, and the abuse of others by, for, and about, YOU, over nothing more than your OPINION. At least when I argue, I argue facts. You have no complaint with me, pal. Next to you, I'm a piker.
RACE ON!!!
PS. That's two threads you've hijacked recently.

Ok... so I was busted on that. But there is nothing in that thread that I posted on DM that I didn't say over here.
However, I did NOT highjack that cats thread - only expressed my beliefs about why NOT to gut them. If you cannot deal with that, tough ****.
As for this thread... perhaps I did highjack it... but you know something, it was for a good cause.
However, CFI-EFI - you are the worst kind of troll. You DO have knowledge but you lack anything that resembles tack. You come in there and blast us for "being IGNORANT". For simply not knowing the facts, you rub it in our collective faces.
That is rude, bullying and just plain WRONG.
I know what you will say next, even... "yet another post where he is all fixated on me..." or, "wow, nothing about the topic at hand..." and you might be right... but it's time for YOU to back off, ok?
Take a big fat chill pill and observe how you treat people here.
To quote LT4red:
That doesn't make him wrong
I am not the only one who has tired of your constant badgering and belittlement.
Sounds to me like CentralCoaster isn't very happy, either:
Until you decide to grow up and behave like a regular member of society, I am taking an extended vacation... I cannot deal with you right now, anymore.
If driving me away was your goal, you partially succeeded. The rest belongs to Cuisinartvette for attempting to backstab me in the first place. It will take a long time for me to forget that little stunt. If I ever do.

Excuse me? Backstabbing? You expect me to cover for your antics which arent even posts to help out! More like they are attempts to draw attention to yourself, period/ Bougus the hero; the guru;the know it all. And here you are again causing more drama than a nail salon !Its all about you, huh?
I suggest you get over it, no one's buying what your'e selling.
I don't cosign
The only problem you really have with CFI is he has more knowledge which hurts your inflated ego. This is a Corvette Forum, not a popularity contest. You know what you need to be doing....

If you honestly think my ego is that inflated... then you don't know me at all.
I am NOT scared by those who know more than I do... I embrace knowledge... I want to learn more... I just don't like being treated like I made some grand mistake and need to be punished for it.
I am so very hurt and disappointed. You behaviour stuns me to no end... and to think, I called you a friend... damn.

Whatever, Bogus 
If you expect me to go along with this, then your'e not someone I want to know anyway. Get off this dude's thread already, I'm not responding anymore.
Let me offer this: Look in the mirror next time you point fingers-Who's there?
This is an embarrassment to the Forum

I don't understand you, or where you are coming from.
I am not the ogre you make me out to be. If that is what you see, the so be it. Later, and don't let the door hit you on your *** on the way out.
Calling this thread an embarrassment to this forum is utterly obsurd. And you know it. It's been needed for some time...
I just don't know where your loyalties lie anymore... I don't.
Goodbye.

We all come to this Forum because we share an interest. Some of us have more knowledge than others...But nobody knows it all about the C4 or any other subject for that matter. CFI-EFI I think you should tone down your responses....Be more of a mentor for those that don't have your knowledge. There are a lot of Forum members who may or may not have the technical manuals on their Vette and even if they do, they may have difficulty tracing the circuitry in the schematics or the steps in the trouble shooting charts. A nudge in the right direction can do wonders for a Forum member.....Where-as a sledge hammer to the side of the skull may leave them disillusioned, frustrated, angry and confused...All on a day their Vette isn't showing them much compassion either. Maybe you don't realize how you come across when you reply to some of the threads....Everyone appreciates your knowledge and participation....Just pull the throttles back a bit. I for one don't want to see Bogus or anyone else take a vacation from this Forum. He just verbalized what a good number of other Forum members were thinking.

this thread hurts. there are some really good guys here, having at it. i hope this gets resolved somehow
mean remarks have nothing to do with a technical discussion. i had a teacher a long time ago who was very knowledgable and intelligent but he was terribly harsh. it killed the learning experience.
i'm going to have another beer, and make a toast to the great guys here, who hit a bump in the road
