Keep trying! But try not to get to frustrated. I wouldn't want you to
take it out on anyone close to you.

Hello, Steve. I've been a lurker for quite some time, and feel
compelled to reply to you. I originally came here searching for
advice. Once here, I have watched the threads with you and Basskisser.
I must say, I think that he is right. I find it quite humorous that
anything that he brings up, beit martial arts, mechanics, even his
work you automatically think you know more than he about those fields.
I'll tell you something. I went to school with a bunch of engineers.
They are by *far* very intelligent people. For you to think that
everything basskisser does, or says is stupid, indeed shows how much
you -don't- know. I would think that if you were as smart as your
egotisticle mind thinks you are, you would know that.

You probably haven't followed the thread from the very beginning then.
And you also just don't "get it." The only reason I'm so hard on
basskisser is because he really does believe he knows everything about
everything. I just love pointing out the flaws in his belief. He
really is an idiot though. But I would leave him alone if he wasn't
such a bully full of bluster and a braggart.

If you did follow the thread from the beginning, he's the first one to
say I was wrong when I said an engine normally burns some oil. He has
such a big ego that he still thinks he's right, even with evidence from
very credible sources against him. He thinks he knows more than GM and
Toyota about engines. What you fail to realize, probably because you
haven't been here very long, is that my calling him stupid and saying
he's wrong about everything is just a parody of him. And he falls for
it all the time, and continues to try and defend his faulty positions
with even more false ones. He's so easy to tease and reacts so
predictably to it that arguing with him is almost like kicking a beaten
dog. But he's the dog that doesn't learn and keeps coming back for
more. Again, I wouldn't play with him so much if he wasn't also such a
braggart.

There are others, like that Joe. He has lightened up on him, I
noticed, because he finally came to grips with the idea that baskisser
was right.

What was basskisser right about? I only read about 1/4 of his posts and
I'd be glad to admit when he's right about something. So far, I haven't
seen it though.

Steve

P.S., basskisser, I know I'm responding to YOU, you idiot. It was
obvious when you said Basskisser was right about something. No one else
in their right mind would say that.

Uh, I'm afraid not, there Steve. I have NO clue who this guy is. But,
at least HE understands that YOU are the braggart, and the one who
thinks he knows everything. Look at your posts, for crying out loud!
EVERYTHING that I've posted, you try to make people think you know
more than I. I've got a degree in engineering, worked in the field for
many years, have my own successful consulting business, and yet you
know more than I about THAT. Take Karate, I've trained HARD, read
every piece of literature I can get my hands on. I have read EVERY
SINGLE book by Ed Parker. I train almost twice the amount as most
people at most dojo's do. Yet you try to act like you know more about
THAT. I've even asked where you've gotten your training, etc. The best
you can come up with is some fluff websites. Yet, somehow, in your
little brain, you think that is enough for you to be an expert. I
really do have sympathy for someone like you that is so stuck on
themselves that they read about something for 10 minutes, and alas,
you are an expert.
