Mark was being Mark, but in a forum where he is not.... Tolerated as much.

And technically, I am not sure this is temporary, as John himself posted and was NONE too happy.

I agree that he rarely if ever dropped into the gutter and resorted to name calling (to his credit), but the guy was impossible to have a reasonable back and forth debate/discussion with. I'm not sure this is reason enough for a banning, but I could see how it would get old with some over time.

probably because he got into it with VR...(rennlist small business sponsor)..and instead of VR fighting back...got reported...John D had a bad day..MK got banned..... We get to roast MK, while he's not around....for a little while longer


(thats how I read it..through the fog of deleted posts and innuendo)...

MK is a competitor. He will compete until he is too tired to continue, and as an athlete, that would take a *very* long time. As an athlete, I understand his demeanor well. While a lot of his information was correct, he was prone to making sweeping generalizations that overreached his facts and invalidated his comments. Getting him to see this would take at least 5 forum pages of back-forth posts.

That said, I'm not exactly sure why John D. got so angry with him. I have seen almost all of MK's posts on this list over the years, and hardly ever did he make posts that were derogatory, contained personal attacks/insults, or explicitly broke any rules. Maybe he crossed the line with some recent posts that were deleted though...

Oh, and venturis increase air velocity but decrease mass flow

Say what you want, but his posts were booooooring, always the same dribble. Amsoil, what a crock. Glad he's gone.













J/K, love watching the racing vids and the Holbert car. Hope he'll be back soon.

John D mentioned something about being fed up with his posts since 1998. That's a while to be fed up - and requires unbelievable patience if its ticking you off.

And what about gearing. Is it really that important?
Somebody order some parts so this man can get back to business.

He probably has a special keyboard in the gym with extra strong springs, so he can build up finger strength and stamina

While is seldom agreed with Mark, I actually enjoyed most of his posts.
And as I said before in this thread, he never dropped to name calling, and for that after some of the things that have been said about him, and too him, you got to respect that..

I do any way.

What ever happened to the proposed race between MK and VR?

I didn't know MK, but I like that he held up the 928 flag high by racing one.

I wish that had gone down. A bunch of us Texas guys were all ready to jump in the cars and drive to Colorado to watch it.

So should we start a poll and see how many want him back? (not that we get to decide)

When you look up the word 'pedantic' you get a picture of Kibort.
