WOW....did not know about this.... He and I had more than one go-round as far as online disagreements went so I'll only comment that he was extremely knowledgeable about a vast number of subjects and I respected THAT about him....and he KNEW that. None of the other B.S. matters now any more than it did then.

Yup, and I always gave him a fair shake and props for his glossary of knowledge.
Had to be one of the most strange & unique people I never met... but knew.

Try and be the better person. Unless all this diatribe is in jest, i cannot think of any person i dislike personally in life that would be deserving of this kind of nasty commentary, let alone someone i argued with on the web. Let it go. RIP lumpy.

Well, well, well...
You honestly have no idea how much he harassed me when he was alive.
Randy verified he was an ex cop with issues and one to worry about.
The guy actually said he would kill me if I ever again said anything about drug use...

I guess you noticed my post(s) and now yours disappeared. I couldn't care less.
...never reported the jerk as we were all men back then, I just NEVER commed w/ him again.
Then he posted porn and got banned.

I was explaining to Woodbutcher what happened between us - but all that stuff is gone too.
Never failed to sing his praises or recommend a post of his - his knowledge of stuff knew no bounds.

Then someone started this thread... like he was "Peaceful".

Believe me tinworm, "I let this go" sometime back.

Well hes dead. In the grand scheme of things you win. Being the bigger person involves not dancing on the mans grave like you were.

That stuff being removed was good, as it doesn't cast you or by extension the forum in a good light.

Try and remember the mans name is in the first post. Remember that nothing you say may upset or hurt a deceased person, but that his family may certainly read your comments, and are petty cruel comments really necessary?

If you let it go long ago, then there is no need for that stuff.

The post(s) stayed there for months.
And... you were not even around during that time being referred to / in question.

Good mechanic, good guy, Great, but stupid communicator, bummer he died, hope his family is OK, blah, blah.
And a Wonderful Musician - he will be surely missed there...

I stand by my first post deleted - may he not enjoy afterlife as much as the next guy.
And... like I also said, "I'll see him there".


ps: I have been copying ALL my posts / replies / threads to a text file, having done so on this and an RC forum about 10 years ago. I found ref. mat'l. is helpful when searching for solutions.

No clue what old posts up for months you seem to think we are talking about. Im referring to this thread, and posts you made as recently as yesterday IN this thread, which were removed by the mods for obvious reasons.

The reality here is that your beef with this now deceased former member is irrelevant to how your conduct yourself in a RIP thread.

I get you two had history, but similar to not going to the funeral of someone you disliked and yelling your dislike, posting ugly vindictive comments in an RIP thread is similarly disgraceful.

This is not a defense of lumpy, i personally never had an issue with him but for sure you could have awful personal history between you. Why keep it alive? Why let that spill over into the internet forum version of a memorial? This is what i meant by being the bigger person.

The old adage "if you cannot say anything nice, dont say anything at all" remains true here.

I was referring to posts in this thread, made back in Nov. '22, just prior to & after Woody & Astro's posts.
I had no posts here since then - till I got a notification that you had posted. I quoted it above.
Your post and mine from 3 mos. ago are gone. Just wanted to clear that up.
I had no posts deleted in the last few days. ( that I know of - admin has been weird here lately )

And his BEEF wasn't with a dead person - it was with a VERY LIVE one.
But I ignored him.

Just like you AND me should have just ignored it... Like you said.

You called me ugly, vindictive and disgraceful.


Your post stays on here... Mine is gone.

If the shoe fits. The original posts were exactly as i described.

If that's not how you want to be seen don't post nonsense like that. Simple as that

If you want my honest opinion i thought those posts were entirely despicable, and you should have been ashamed of yourself for typing that out on a public forum, which brings us all down as a community of enthusiasts. Not only does that represent the rest of us to the world, but our failure to police such monstrous behavior also presents us as condoning despicable behavior. I had to ask myself just what kind of a person would post such things about a dead man? Certainly not someone who seems to have the slightest idea of what is and isn't appropriate.

I was happy to send a report and bring it to the attention of the mods. They cannot be everywhere at once, and garbage like that needed to be removed.

EDIT- Upon consideration i also think you will be the first person i put on ignore on this forum in 13 years of membership. I cant think of any benefit to reading any more of your posts.

Thanks for sending the report so that the mods could take care of it, which they obviously did.

Blocking/ignoring is definitely an option, there is only 1 person on here that I have on my block/ignore list and you can probably guess who it is by the fact that if I had seen the posts, it would have been taken care of sooner. I don't condone the behavior, I leave it up to the mods to take care of that particular individual unless I get a report. Obviously Randy got to the report before I did and I support his decisions.

Mark had asked before how to block/ignore, it's quite easy to do, here ya go.

So... it ends up where there is "just one complainant".

Seems to parallel today's unfair actions against any words or display that the smallest percentage group has an issue with.
I should mention "The Transgender Movement" as an example.

Statues of Jefferson and the like have been removed for the same reason. "He was an affront to my sensibilities".
And while my post did not stay up for decades, it was there for all to see for months. No one had an issue.
At least no one was reporting, as it was my opinion about a person that threatened me.

But... unlike you two, I will read things that I don't like and move on.
I do not ignore them, as I like to read opinions.

No one came to my "rescue" when Craig Lumpy Lemke threatened me twice while still alive in two different threads.
And that was without any provocation from anyone.
No one reported it, we just moved on...


And to this day, I am not really sure why tinworm had such an issue.
Maybe because I did not back down or apologize right away.


Shields UP and Blinders On.
