Default Kevin Johnson Has Taken His Ball And Gone Home

Look at his post count. Go to his public profile and you will see that he has deleted all of his posts all the way back to his very first one where he asked for someone to donate a block so he could design a scraper. That post now say nothing about its original subject and just says that he and Smantha have met cool people with Porsches. WTF? I thought this was something that had happened in the past with someone else and now the software has changed to not allow it. I guess not. Passive aggresive behavior like this is par for the course with him I see. He once pulled his 928 scraper design off of his site after getting into a pissing match with someone here.

IMO its a shame because there was alot of good 928 engine info in those posts. Wat do you think? Please discuss.

Most if not all of his posts in the crank thread were quoted, so not much lost there.

It is a shame some people cannot take even a small amout of criticism without taking it personal and blowing their lid. People who have the "I'm right 100% be damned of your opinion...." Usually do not last long in a social setting.

Hopefully he will come back and realize that just because we do not all agree 100% with everything he says, doesn't mean we do not appreciate his input.

Good thing he didn't go out in a blaze of glory and get himself banned. Maybe John D can restore his posts.

It seems that he argued himself into a corner and just couldn't stand to be exposed as having faulty logic...

Too bad because had he gone back and reread that old 'Zuffenhausen 928 Line Photos' thread and looked at the assembly line pics more carefully, he would have noticed one of the workers dropping and mixing up a set of piston rod end caps as he was distracted by the photographer, thus vindicating his 'theory'.

The phrase, "Small amount of critisim" is not consistant with this forum
