Petition to ban MikeM

[Tbot101]

Not at all. I don't mind when someone disagrees with me, I only bring up communist China when someone recommends censorship because that's what the Communist party leaders do when someone is critical of their policies. Rather than using facts and reason to neutralize the criticism and keep it from spreading they shut-up the person who is being critical.

I didn't call for any censorship, I just asked you to stop posting your flamboyant BS on a thread revolving my product because you refused to check the legitimacy of the claims.

I still ask you this, the dyno sheet that showed 21WHP gain, is more than 25BHP (crank) so how again are my claims false?

*waiting for the BS reasoning, or waiting to get called a chinese communist*

 

[MikeM.]

Mike Is like the Donald Trump of this forum;

Build a giant wall around my ego and my opinion and call everyone that disagrees a communist!

lol

Nope. It has nothing to do with disagreeing. Only people who call for censorship of open discussion receive the communist China label.

Do you really think I'm gullible enough to think a dyno chart is proof of anything? Your entire argument falls apart right there.

When another participant lamented it would be nice if there was unbiased third party testing, you responded with a link to dyno charts posted by a retailer of your tunes! That's not unbiased and I wasn't born yesterday. But that's what you responded with.

umm the dyno sheet showing 21whp gain was not a retailer it was an unbiased 3rd party.

A dyno chart is not proof of anything? .. okay I give up. you really are stupid.

I figured it would probably be the thread with the most hits lol

Sorry Mike, it's not personal but put nicely...you're an @$$

The forum is supose to be for car enthusiasts and a place to EXCHANGE thoughts abd information regarding common passion/interest.

All I ever see you do is put people down, criticize their choices when it comes to mods and judge.

Please do us all a favor a buy a Honda so we don't have to endure your pitiful comments and remarks 24/7. I might not have tons of cash to mod my ride but i'd sure chip in a 5$ to get u a Honda and out of this forum!

what? Use the block button if he is keeping you up at night.

Honestly, you can't PROVE anything in the hotrod world. That's why winners at some racing events literally have their engines torn down after the race and displacement and parts physically measured and quantified. One might as well say "Prove to me there is a god." or "prove to me there is not a god." The defendant of the stance is always going to lose to the attacker of the stance.

 

[MikeM.]

I'm referring directly to the link you posted to the person lamenting no unbiased testing. The link went directly to a site that retails your tunes.

A dyno chart is not proof of anything? .. okay I give up. you really are stupid.

Wow! No wonder you are so bent - you actually think a dyno chart is proof!

Isn't this the fourth or fifth time you've "given up"? Each time you come back you say the same thing: "But I have dyno charts to prove it". It's repetitive and it gets old. I haven't seen anything to convince me your tunes add 25-35 HP simply by filling up with 91 octane.

Mike.

If you just allowed some of the others to have an opinion, this wouldn't happen. You have a way of berating your adversary rather than reasoning and it comes across as aggressive and belittling. You seem to have a good knowledge of the CX-5/vehicle engineering but you don't need to feel threatened when somebody contradicts with an alternative suggestion.

Should you be banned? Naw, as long as the hostility is kept in check. Enjoy the dialogue rather than attack it.

Agreed.

And as far as the info given by anyone on this forum, or any other forum, I try to remember what my uncle told me many years ago: "Don't believe anything you hear, and only half of what you see".

Well put anchorman, and essentially what I was trying to convey. MikeM takes up a lot of space sometimes. I don't think he's a bad person though, as exemplified by the way he handled this nasty affair mostly with poise up to now.

CX5-QC on the other hand, I think bullying and trying to gang up on someone might be much better grounds for banning...

Gladly i think this thread has backfired big time on him.

Wow! If I ALLOWED others to have an opinion? (rlaugh)


You credit me with far too many powers. I cannot (nor do I want to) prevent ANYONE from having an opinion! That's not possible or desirable. I WANT and encourage people to form their own opinion. But if you conclude the moon landings were faked in a Hollywood studio, I reserve the right to point out why that is not so and shake my head in disbelief that you could come to such a silly conclusion based on the available facts. But, no, I can't prevent you from believing that, all I can do is explain why I don't believe it. You're gonna believe whatever you believe.

In any case, if I ALLOWED others to have an opinion, what is this "thing" that wouldn't have happened? You speak as if something bad has occurred. (dunno)

I confess, despite the close ties in history and language, I am often baffled by perspectives put forth by Brits (and your recent comment is a good example). I think I relate more to the Italians, French and Germans who are more likely to let you know what they really think (and expect the same from you) rather than tip-toeing through the tulips.

This...100%. Personally I ignore Mikes posts completely, simply because of this reason. It completely negates anything positive that may sneak into his replies otherwise.

Is this justification for being banned...only the moderators can say...if there are any.

Mike sometimes gives valid advice. Sometime outlandish approach to explain something. Many times just for the heck of saying something, anything is almost every thread, no matter what. Bottom-line is: his life is this forum. I don't think he has anything else to do, sits at home or wherever and explores this forum. He gets a sadistic pleasure of pushing the button of others by trying to antagonize them. Although his knowledge is obtained by trolling the Internet and reading about Mazda/CX5 ; he tries to portray he is the THE PINNACLE when it comes to CX5, no one should dare to question him, contradict him. Although its apparent all his knowledge is from Internet and is basically very, very shallow. The only area where he has some teeth is concerning winter, snow driving. Other than that everything else is basically re-hash, antagonizing, self promoting stuff which can safely be ignored with no damage or no effect to anyone.

I'm going to post the same response in this thread as I did in the infamous GB thread because it applies here as well...

Perhaps this is a good time to remind EVERYONE that we have been around for nearly 15 YEARS and we do have RULES that have been and will be ENFORCED.

For the sake of this fine Community...PLEASE READ, REMEMBER AND FOLLOW the following Mazdas247 Rules & Guidelines.

Especially in this case these RULES AND GUIDELINES...

IV. User Conduct and Decency Standards

1. Be respectful of others at all times. The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform for the exchange of ideas. Occasionally, there will be conflicts that arise when people voice opinions. Be courteous when disagreeing with others. It is possible to disagree without being insulting.

2. Personal attacks are prohibited. Commonly known as "flaming", personal attacks are posts which are designed to personally berate or insult another member. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit and will not be tolerated. Personal disputes should be settled through the forum’s private messaging system.

3. Be tolerant of new members who are unfamiliar with how the forums are set up or with the search function. Instead of "newbie bashing", politely give them the information they are looking for and point them towards the search button.

4. Profanity in thread titles, signatures, or public profile options is prohibited. While profanity is permitted within the text of a post, try to keep this at a minimum.

5. Pornography is not permitted anywhere on the forums including links to pornography on other websites. Mazdas247 defines pornography as images with exposed genitalia (for images of either sex) or topless images (for female images).

6. Discriminatory remarks and any form of discrimination are prohibited.

7. Make an effort to limit potentially offensive posts or material. There is greater tolerance for potentially offensive posts (obscene jokes, etc.) in the Off Topic and Humor forums. Posts deemed too offensive will be edited, moved to the Dumpster, or deleted.

8. Illegal or "pirated" software or content of any kind must not be accessible via Mazdas247. Any link or connection between this community and illegal software or content is not permitted.

9. Vendor and merchant disputes from customers must be handled privately. Negative reviews for vendors can only be posted after (a) direct communication to the vendor has failed, and (b) you have contacted a forum administrator or super moderator explaining the situation and have gained permission to post a negative review. Personal attacks towards a merchant or vendor authorized to do business on the forums is strictly prohibited. Mazdas247 has a zero tolerance policy towards unwarranted attacks on vendors and merchants (users with the title "Authorized Vendor" or "Authorized Merchant Member" under their username). They are the "lifeline" of the https://www.amazon.com/dp/ (commissions earned). Making unwarranted attacks, or negative reviews without proper permission, against vendors or merchants can result in an immediate and permanent ban without warning.

10. Disputes between vendors and/or merchants must be handled privately or off the forum. All Authorized Vendors and Authorized Merchant Members are required to act professionally at all times, including when resolving any disputes with another vendor or merchant. Mazdas247 has a zero tolerance policy towards attacks by one vendor or merchant to another. Vendors or merchants who do so may have their status revoked without refund.

11. The act of intentionally posting inflammatory threads or replies for no other purpose than inciting or provoking others, also known as "trolling", is strictly prohibited. Mazdas247 has a zero tolerance policy towards trolling, meaning users who engage in such activity can be immediately and permanently banned without warning.

12. Spam is strictly prohibited. Mazdas247 has a zero tolerance policy towards spammers, meaning use of this forum for unapproved advertisement can result in an immediate and permanent ban without warning.

13. Circumventing a temporary or permanent ban is strictly prohibited. Mazdas247 has a zero tolerance policy towards users who re-register additional account(s) to circumvent their ban, meaning those accounts are subject to an immediate and permanent ban without warning.

Also note that we have a WARNING and INFRACTION system which has been and can be put into use.
