dang gordo you crack me up!! LMAO

jimmie, i say if you want an overcontrolling forum that bans people for speaking thier minds...scotts forum has room

as far as your conflict with terry, simply have proof to back what you say, or right or wrong, dont say it. you know hes gonna call you out, so be prepared. sooner or later he will realize you speak with proof and will have no reason to pick at you. or, you will proove yourself to be speaking out of your nether regions and he will enjoy many many more times of pickin at you. i think we are all grown men, deal with it properly or go somewhere hes not. just how id do it, my 2cents

I wish that was true! Unfortunately it never worked. For documentation & proof as you suggest, there's never been a thread on this forum with more documentation & supporting proofs than what I posted regarding surge coils in hydraulics. Please read Terry's replies to that same proof.

Several times in the last few years I've tried to be friendly and amenable with Terry, bygones be bygones etc. Even getting in touch by e-mail and chit-chat there, let's bury the hatchet, Terry, we have a lot in common! Then he gets cranked again over some posts, because they didn't meet his standards. I then got 3 suspicious e-mails all at once from him, the type that require you to click on the e-mail to open, then click to open another e-mail. E-mails themselves weren't worth sending for content, not related to anything of common interest, hmmm......why did he send these?

Next day when I fired up my computer it acted screwy and within a short time was almost unusable. It took me 6 weeks with something like 10-11 different programs to clean out the viruses, including Z-lob. Can't imagine where they came from, hmmmm.....? Didn't have viruses before those e-mails, did have viruses after those e-mails, just about destroyed my computer.

Despite that episode I tried again to have normal relations, but put a block on e-mails from Terry. You can look back in archives and see that I would post, Terry would challenge, again & again regardless of content. Challenges are invariably insulting, not just a matter of disagreement or question.

I've tried every way I know to get along but this is a guy that gets a vendetta going and just can't give it up. Remember the Sheepboy thing, month after month after month after month repeat? You get on Terry's 'LIST' and that's it, he'll ride you every single chance he gets.

I can take some hassling or criticism but the deep insults to my character, reputation, honesty and continuous outright slanders are something I shouldn't have to put up with on a forum. Would you like it if someone took every possible opportunity to entirely destroy your credibility, publicly, nearly every time you post anything on any subject??!!?

See the response from him above? It's an obsession, plain & simple, and it's not coming from me. I've gotten e-mails from folks who bailed on the forum just because of that, fearing they'll get on his list too or tired of his caustic insults.
