I'm just saving you sounding like a dumb ass talking the way you are about hill country roads. Say you have some great roads to drive and leave it at that.
Please point out where I said anything about Texas roads that made me sound like a dumb ass. For the record, I am grown up.
OK, so just a dip ****. Hill Country roads are nothing like the Ozarks and Ozarks nothing like the Hill Country. Hill Country roads are worth a 4 hour drive from DFW and Ozarks a 6 hour drive. Heck, Cali roads are worth a 24 hour drive.
Enough of you. This was your last misstep. FYI for all you others I just didn't jump on TexasMike for this no big deal, he has a history of being a dip**** and causing trouble on the forums. Bye bye.
Gotta pipe in here Rob, a ban seems a little harsh. IMO, Mike was only stating his opinions about roads based on pictures and videos. They don't look special to him. So what? 6 hours IS a long drive for fun roads, especially if you have the hill country 30 minutes away. Again, his opinion. He's entitled. He even admits there are better roads out there. But it's hard to tell anything from a video on the internet. I don't see any blatant attacks here. Hopefully it was more than just this. I'm not trying to get in the middle of anything, just offering my outside perspective.
Thanks for you opinion Jim, but it doesn't matter. Mike has had a bug in his arse since the Maranelloman days, he knows nothing about me, but continues to be a prick. As I said, this is no big deal, but it was the final straw. Pull that crap with me, no problem, keep pulling the crap with me I'll kick your ass (figuratively).
We might listen, just not admit it. FYI, I haven't had any problems with Mike for a year and he's been a good user. Mark is closer to him and they're talking offline.
Banned him permanently? Oh now that was just a bit extreme. Mike was a great contributor to this website. Hate to see him go over something as trivial as a Whos roads are better? conversation. Even if he was a bug up your ass, that was being a bit ridiculous.
Maybe you could reconsider Rob. As Wes said and john, Mike is a great guy, he has contributed a lot to this website, including numerous photos that everyone enjoys. Did you choose this ban because he has been a bug personally, or because he has been a pain or problem to everyone at Fchat? He's a good guy, I think all the good things that he has contributed to this site overcomes the tension between yall two. John
Sounds like perhaps something was taken the wrong way? Perhaps a misscomunication? I have personally known Mike for a year or so now, he is a great guy. Mike hope to see you on the 24th for the next Hill Country Drive...and anyone else who wants to join up.
No, its all personal, nothing else to it, but thats my right. If not in cyberspace this would have been all over by now, either he wouldnt have said what he has or if he did, then I would have been in his face and he would have backed down or if not, then there would have been a rumble and we would be best friends now.
When did this happen? Man. Now, I'm just afraid i'll blurt (more like typert) something wrong. I liked Mike's posts of his nice photos. Well, who am I to complain, another "noob" on the forum. Just make it temporary, Rob.
Welcome to TX, Easy. Here's some real 22-2400 foot "hills". I looked in to a welcome thread and found this? Really puts TX in a great light. Hi Jim, John, Wes, John, Dr., Rob, Tillman, Mark if you see this. [Mike added a hell of a lot more than some folks (dip**** lawyer for one). Dave MM is a good guy and you know it, Rob. He wasn't banned IIRC, he left. Mark, Wes, and I know Mike well, he was honorable when an issue came up with me. My opinion doesn't matter.

Just because you are a good user 95% of the time, doesn't mean you have open season on the other 5%, although it is taken into consideration. You know this better than anyone. Mark talked to Mike and Mike was going to contact me, I haven't heard from him. Who said Dave wasn't a good person? He was just a bad user, but there are hundreds of those, including yourself sometimes and even me. Some people bad more than others but most people bad sometimes. Who said Dave was banned? Stop making **** up or trying to change history that I think Dave was a bad person and I banned him. Dave had been banned several times, but that's not the final reason he left. One thing is certain, FerrariChat.com is much for the better without you, MM, and Art bickering. You guys brought the entire community down for a personal matter.
It's my fault that Mike hasn't contacted you yet.... I had been talking things over with him and then I got extremely busy in the last week and a half getting ready/returning to the US and wasn't able to get back with him. I'm in Oregon right now but will get back with Mike hopefully later today.
Can Mark or someone cull this thread? Seems subscribed forum best for this stuff after the dust settles, and it is rude to Easyrider. I felt I had to respond to the "making **** up" accusation by the forum owner, otherwise I'd be done with this trainwreck. Not me, not you, you said Mike was a prick since Maranelloman days, I was trying to clarify the implication MM was as well. Again, neither of us, just clarifying since Mike banned. Call me a "dip****"for the effort. Um, have you tried decaff? I didn't "make **** up", actually I said you know him, he's a good guy, he left, wasn't banned. Yep. We're the only 2 with a problem with Art. No doubt. And he still whines about PDX banning him. FYI, MM's problem was a different time and place than my problem with him. You guys banned him from P&R as well, if you recall, so guess our "bickering" wasn't the only problem, as I don't go to P&R. I pretty much ignored him, still do until this BS trickled over to another forum and he started whining about being banned in a thread discussing Mike. I am really stunned you reacted how you did, where you did, and remain defensive. Someone elsewhere suggested Mia is sleep depriving you, I understand that. You're OK by me, we both annoy one another at times, but both of us have personal integrity. Art doesn't IMO. So don't accuse me of "making **** up" or Art will tell you your meds need adjusting. <-inside smilie, non-obligatory. Hope your family is well.

Sorry if I misread you that I was saying Dave was a bad person or that we banned him. Dont ever bring my daughter into this. This goes back well into the years when we were just practicing for Mia. You are lucky I have developed a thicker skin and a decreasing need to be defensive. You are still the same old same old in my books for the good and bad. You know where I stand. Make comments like above again and you will see the old Rob. There are some things I still won't take **** about.
Check EF for whomever mentioned your daughter and sleep deprivation. They were defending your actions. Go kick their ass if you wish. I won't defend you or anyone else here again. I have no idea what you're talking about, I was very supportive and glad for you starting a family, we traded quite a few PM/EM's over it. As I wrote you then, kids are the greatest thing that will ever happen to you. MY family was brought in here (Zman, Chambers) and not a damn thing happened. Same old same old indeed, except I didn't threaten anyone then or now. You were defensive both now and then, even when it was my family. Sorry I bothered with any of this, it was your fight with TX Mike in someone else's thread, not mine.
