41chevy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 And they even tolerate us Canadians..eh..!!BC MackJust the friendliest, most helpful and best people with a great sense of humor. Off brands? heck I drove a 1963 Corvan for almost 30 years (wish I could find another), my thought is anything old is gold and that make the owner part of the group.Hey BC MACK you know Red Green??

Popular Post other dog Posted January 12, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2014 As a guy who doesn't have the mechanical expertise that alot on here do...I really appreciate all the help I have been offered over the past few years of being a member. It does really seem like a family, even though I am a listener mostly..I had been away for awhile last year...and have a question....what happened to ROB.....who used to always mention "Mama" and in my opinion had probably the most posts and answers on here....I can only hope the answer isn't bad.......RustyRob is still alive and well to my knowledge, haven't talked to him in a while though. He was indeed most helpful to everyone, and had a lot of knowledge about a lot of things and didn't mind sharing it. I think he kind of got fed up with some things, he posted a joke- a joke- aimed at another member once and got a lot of flak for it, and was accused of "gratuitous cursing" by another member because of one post he made, the same member that accused me of having a "man crush" on him when I said something in his defense. Rob was well liked by everyone else, and still missed. 4 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

other dog Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I agree with BMT being a great forum, I want to thank Barry and the moderators for making this what it has become. It seems to me this forum has doubled in active members since I first joined and I think that is mainly due to the freedoms we are allowed. I think most of us are of a mind that our freedoms shall not be infringed and in keeping with this view our use of our right to freedom of speech is rarely infringed by the BMT moderators. I as before appreciate the knowledge of BMT members, I know that I have learned a lot from questions and answers posted and m grateful to have done so. I hope this forum is kept alive and that I can give back a fraction of the knowledge to others as Im able.Absolutely, there's a lot of "like thinkers" here.

hicrop10 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I think that Barry and the fellows at Watts are doing super job.I belong to antique equipment forum and they have ban some people from using the bb.I like the fact that everyone controls the wording of the responces,and I think that is due to the fact that we all are a pack of nuts that just love Mack trucks.If you are looking for an answer to a problem with your truck you have come to the right place.

fxfymn Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 This forum is the best. bar none. Thanks to Barry and all of the members who treat each other with respect while at the same time accepting differing points of view. Great information, enlightening discussions, folks who would do almost anything to help you out, and some damn funny responses. No one belittles you for the occasional mind fart that gets posted.What more could you ask for? Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

Popular Post Barry Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't know how this all started but I can say that I don't have time to sit down figure this mess out. What I do know is that I hope everyone works out their differences before I have to start issuing forum bans! I have removed Rob from Moderator mainly because of absence and now because of the vested interest issues outlined above.For years, BMT has grown to be a community of like minded Mack Truck Fans but lately, I have been seeing a lot of hostility, sarcasm and down right rudeness. The rules designed to protect the forums from trolling are already in place so we will start using them to weed out all those involved in trolling and instigation of the forum from here on out! 4 Quote Barry - Watt's Truck Center Parts Manager and BMT Webmaster...1-888-304-MACK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bigdogtrucker Posted January 13, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wow...This has been a great forum with very little whip cracking overall and seems to have run well for a long time.But to see an attack,threats like that over someone saying an honest opinion and for a "like" is damn silly and childish... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Vinny's opinion of ''the incident'' is the only one that really matters here. If every one starts choosing up sides it will only end up ruining the great place we have here and than. . . I'll have to annoy my wife and grand kids. . .
