Well, I am glad that I pointed out that he was being baited and harassed by other members here, and that it was planned and pre-meditated. TBH I find it frustrating when these people de-rail Garage threads by saying LOUISSSSS this or LOUISSSSS that. They bait him.

Starting a thread about enjoying a GTO is in no way "baiting" LOUISSSSS. No-one mentioned him until he thread-crapped. If anything, it was LOUISSSSS who was doing the baiting with his first post in that thread.

You can try putting LOUISSSSS up on a cross all you like, but you're not going to convince anyone here that he's some sort of martyr in either the thread referenced here, or in the thread referenced in your PM.

I was never talking about a GTO thread; the only thread I was concerned about was the one about my Civic. Did you read the PM for yourself, or have you just read this thread? I will only reveal what the PM I received said if the mods tell me it's ok to do so.

I'm not saying that LOUISSSSS is some sort of martyr; far from it. He hasn't been a model member here whatsoever. The point I have been trying to make is that he has been baited, and I have undeniable proof of this in my PM inbox.

We have read the PM and it has been posted for moderator discussion. As I said earlier, the thread you pointed out had nothing to do with his vacation.

IMO it might have had something to do with it because it shows that people were actively trying to piss him off. He may have been that much more angry with that much shorter a fuse, which resulted in him losing it.

I know he was upset about it; he PM'ed me asking me to tell him what the PM said but I wouldn't tell him. Shortly thereafter he was vacationed.

BTW I would never compare a person to Jesus Christ (Zenmervolt).

Your PM has proof of a single instance of a single poster making a disparaging comment about a well-documented flaw in a Japanese manufacturer's cars and doing so in a manner which intentionally mimicked LOUISSSSS' posting style. It does not constitute any proof of any "active" effort by multiple people, nor does it provide any proof that such actions extended beyond a single thread.

Those are the bare facts of the matter whether you want to hear them or not.

If your buddy JC has a problem with it, he can post here for himself.

I was under the impression that Honda made one of the best 5 speed gearboxes available, along with one of the best manual transmissions produced, especially considering the price. I'm surprised to hear you knocking cars that regularly hit 500,000 miles on a 4 cylinder engine.

You're correct in stating that the PM only proves that one person baited LOUISSSSS, however it is hard to deny the fact that there are other people doing this as well, even calling him out by name in threads that he has not even posted in, and mocking him as well.

If you look at my Civic thread, LOUISSSSS was not involved until he was baited by the member who sent me a PM.

Why do people keep insulting my transmission? I have owned several cars, and my Honda shifts nice. :confused:

If you want to debate the durability records of any automotive company, you may do so in the Garage.

If you look at that thread yourself, you'll see that LOUISSSSS never even responds to the post you mention. You'll also note that, as has been repeatedly stated, LOUISSSSS' vacation was wholly related to his conduct in the GTO thread and had nothing whatsoever to do with the thread you mentioned.

We're doing nothing but going over things that have been covered multiple times already in this thread. Since no new discussion has presented itself, I am closing this thread. It is no longer productive.
