Apology to TommyD
At times I come off like an *** on these forums, and I apologize for that. Also Im sorry for the personal insults I made in the heat of the moment. I was banned for some of them and like I told the mods I can guarantee it wont happen again.
Hopefully we can let bygones be bygones.

Maybe this will be the Holday Spirit thread where we all make peace. Its in time for the new year and its good to get these things out of the way.
I've chilled out a bit over time and know where you are coming from. I did it too but wasnt banned. At times now I think I should have been. I think its because while I was strong headed, I was still debating a tech point. Still, I have found myself appologizing and the fact is that there are so many good guys on this forum its hard to find a single one that wont forgive you after an argument. As long as we are still above ground it means we have a chance to make better people out of ourselves.
I dont know you but if youre the type to appologize then its worth forgiving whatever you said. I've talked to Tom before and he is a good guy. I use everyday to find ways to make someone else's life better. I'm no saint but I recognize where work needs to be. I was angry for years after being shot in the chest and it showed for a long time in my posts. It ended a very promising powerlifting career. God had his reasons and making other people miserable wasnt making me feel better; installing FAST manifolds for free does.
Happy Holidays everyone!

I aint scared of you punk! (Spin) But then again I am 7000 miles away right now. Happy Holidays everyone from another one of the jack asses on the forum.
Its nice that you appogized, takes a big man to do that.
Spin, PM me. This place sucks, but I do get to lift heavy things a lot and carry a gun.

While I've already apoligized on a previous thread for my actions in the past, I've got no problem doing it again.
About a month or so ago I got pissed off at some of the negativity on this board, and made a reply on someone's thread. I acted like a drunken sailer in a whisky bar, and was way out of line. I pissed off a few people, and I'm sorry for that. It was just meant to be a joke, but I guess I took it a bit too far.
Sorry to all who were harmed by my actions that night.

Hey, very nice move. I also have to be careful on what I say on this forum, we all do.
I have a rule at work. If I get pissed at work it could cost me my job if I **** off the wrong person. So if I get an email that makes me mad, I will write a reply and then my rule is I have to sit on it overnight before I send it. I figure if it still looks good in the morning I can still send it. Guess what, I have yet to send 1 of those emails out!
We all tend to overact to the written word. It seems so final and sometimes we don't understand what caused the person to write them.

That's a pretty cool move on your part.
BUT, a good argument every once in awhile makes for good reading. We need to stop being so sensitive. This is a vette forum and just a hobby. It is not real life.

Reminds me of a boss I had a few years ago. He said that conflict was always good in an organization. Then one day I disagreed with something he wanted to do and told him. He got really pissed and then I realized that conflict was good for the organization as long as it wasn't with him!

I'd like to apologize for not getting a Corvette sooner.
I'd like to apologize to Terri Schwein, the girl I probably should have married a long time ago. But I am thankful for Kathy cause she is the love of my life.
Merry Christmas Everyone & Have a Great & Happy New Year

Anyway, when the heck were you a jack azz? This is the guy that came to my house (130 miles) just to bring me a transmission jack (that broke in my posession) to help me swap out a clutch.
Santa would bring you presents but he isnt feeling good about that desert ghetto you're in.
Come home safe so we can put in your supercharger. I want to tune yours before I do mine.
I see you have to be 7000 miles away to call me punk, punk.

I don't even know what happened, but, it takes a big heart to reevaluate his own actions and to apologise. We're all fortunate ,as Corvette owners, to qualify and be members of a great forum. 
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
