That goes both ways Randy. I would never call your work crap like you did last night, and using false info at that. And that's not because I've been impressed with every saw you built. Not every saw we build is a ringer, and I know that. But that doesn't mean that I don't respect you and you work.

Basically, you're telling me that I'm not allowed to give my opinion, unless you agree with it. All I did last night was state my opinion. And I called it as much. You didn't like it because you're afraid it'll cost you income. Instead of simply disagreeing and stating your opinion, you chose to lash out with false personal attacks. You have no idea how much work I've sent your way! I'm sure it's in the thousands. If anyone hurt your income, you did so last night.

And this where I have an issue with you and your posts. It's the same every single time......

You post these bold statements and then when someone disagrees and sets out to get even a slight retraction from you they are then perceived (by you) as attacking you personally. I've been here long enough to remember many of these events. I'm not going into detail because I'm not bashing you (you just think I am) or your work. I would just once like to see you say that perhaps you may have overstepped in an assessment in this forum without someone having to drag it from you while you kick and scream.

BTW......I ain't mad at you. I would love to see you do some soul searching here though.

Brad, it'd do you good to read what Randy wrote here again...

I have respect for what you do with saws most of the time. But two of your build threads had me scratching my head. The ms261 build was one of the most confusing threads I've followed, ever! The 550xp build was not as bad, but still.

Would it hurt too bad to admit you are sometimes wrong,
or still in the lower part of the learning curve, with regards a new model?
 
Brad? May I ask you a personal question? Why do you hide your online status from the other forum members?

I did fly off the handle a bit last night. I should have chosen my words more carefully.

See how that works? I admitted that I made a mistake.


It frustrates me greatly that you are so closed minded and just keep on the same path until someone blocks the road on you. Again, you either have completely missed the point I'm trying to make here or are too self absorbed to see it.

I know you have sent a lot of work my way. I assumed you did that because you knew I would do the best work I could and that the customer would be happy with it. If you think I've changed my work habits then by all means please tell everyone to steer clear of me and my work. But if it's just that I hurt your ego........well then that would again show how self serving you can be.

I have admitted my mistakes and faults many times. Yes, I'm very much in the learning curve on the 550. However, I'm still of the opinion that most of the gains to be found in a 550, with what we know right now, is in a MM. Why am I not allowed to voice my opinion?

Randy, I thank you for that! I still don't see where I did anything more than state my opinion on the current state of affairs of the 550. The OP asked for opinions, and I stated mine. Nothing more, nothing less.

It's probably just the way you come across in the words you type. Bet it would be very different in person.

Might be better to say; The most gains I can find in the 550 are with a MM. Others may or may not be getting more gains than I am able to from porting.

Confusion was just the impression I was left with. I could be wrong though... :msp_mellow:

Perhaps it was hard to follow. I don't know. However, that was a case where i put my neck on the line and share with the work as i tried to figure out how to make that model respond in a way that i found respectable. I went through several stages in that build. In the end, i came up with a solution that makes that model the what we know it can be today.

I'm not goin back and read it again, and I'll give it to you for jumping on a new model first.
It very well could have been all the BS added there by others. :msp_smile:

That's basically what i said:confused:

If it was or not. You are still missing the complete point of this conversation.

You thanked me for admitting that I should have chosen my words more carefully but neglected to a acknowledge the rest of the post.

Have you ever though about a 12 step program? It's a program of self evaluation and self disclosure.
