ohlord is the best. he is the reason that i bought another 99 e320 (wagon this time though)! he and gregs210 gave me the confidence to buy a car with 95K miles on it. so ohlord gets a little cantankerous. suck it up and listen to experience! he has personality and i love it....

I still think Greg is idealist.
In my years on the Internet I gain the experience that everything can be a subject to heated dispute. And I am not talking about Chevy/Ford, or gasser/diesel dispute.
On RV forum quite often members fight over the toilet paper brand.
Expecting that human race will change is up to you.
Than coming to technical aspects, I got my mechanical diplomas several decades ago. Coming from different system, country and technical advances I changed my technical principals several times in my life. Some people like to stick to the books. They are the one who still do "Oil change 3000" or "Coolant change every 2 years". I made several technical experiments that prove lot of technical boneheads wrong. Driving with over 30 years COMMERCIAL tire on my motorhome is just one small example.
So I don't mind if a dispute takes heated turn. I learned to ignore any bashing. Knowing that I am right helps
So in my conclusion >>> no matter if there is more or less civilize dispute, it will always bring some knowledge. Just it takes some practice to notice who repeats the books and who talks from real life experience.

I'm not sure all that follows from personalizing such disputes, but I can tell you two things it does: One, it makes new members question if they want to be here, and (2) it makes established members (well, many of them) disgusted.

When the new people, start leaving, this forum..... well let us put this aside and start welcoming people, OK?
