Okay, check it out, Odie. You've been here long enough to know that:
A) If you are going to jump into the middle of a fight, you don't run into the middle of the brawl, throw a few sucker punches, and then run over to your running pickup truck sitting nearby and speed away while the fight is still going on.
B) The quality of content of one's posts are more important than the join date of the person making the post.
For the record, I do not know
@Manamana and I DO KNOW Odie very well. Maybe that is why I am saying what I am saying here instead of PM'ing it. The responses above are bullshit responses that are no better than a source making catty little remarks in their own defense.
Manamana took the time to address your points one by one, and did so respectfully. And your responses to him are that you see too much "blah blah blah" to respond, and you also basically tell him he is not worthy of a response from you? Seriously?!
Come on Odie, not cool! And this is coming from someone (me) who does think you're cool. I can only imagine that if a less popular/less active member posted this that they'd be getting torched by now.
To be real clear, this has nothing to do with the source in this thread. I am not running 24's gear and won't be (I just have better sources, that's why). It has everything to do with how poorly constructed and disrespectful your responses to Manamana were. Your responses look like you didn't have an answer for the posts, so instead of trying to address it, you simply chose to avoid it and make it about the poster instead. Not saying this is the case, but it looks that way.
You (Odie) have a lot of influence here. To offer up this kind of response(s) is just a bad, bad look for you brother. As some of the more experienced guys around here, we can do better than this.
