That shows you what you know.  He got severely counseled here in the public forum at
least 5 years ago (at that time I would have agreed with you), and has had a major
attitude change.  He is polite and civil when he is interviewed, and no one around here
has any problem now with his attitude.

I wasn't bragging about anything.  Bragging implies that I am putting someone else down. 
I was simply cheering for them.  Since there are about 900 people on this list, there has
to be one or two other fans, according to the law of averages.  If someone wanted to boo
in response, that's fine (and expected, on this forum), but a tirade of insults isn't
quite what I was expecting.  If you have such a violent negative response to this
subject, there must be something else going on with you about it that I know nothing
about, want to know nothing about, and care nothing about.

I'm pissed off at your attitude, not from listening to your opinion.  Everyone has one of
those, as well as several other singular things....knowwhatImean....?  But...they don't
have to have your kind of attitude...or if they do, they can keep it to themselves.  I
listen to everyone's opinion, since they have a right to express it.   I never dump on
anyone else's, even if it is totally out in left field.  If an opinion expressed might
lead someone to do something wrong or dangerous to his car, I'll warn him about
it....otherwise I usually just leave it alone.  But your little meltdown needed to be
addressed, and I apologize to the rest of the list for having to do it here.   I'm done.
