Same Old BS

Tonight is the first time I have been to this forum for nearly a year. I quit coming here because I go sick and tired of two or three arguing all the time. They know who I'm talking about. If someone started a good informative thread, these dumb a$$e$ would hijack it every time. With such a good website for the AC's I was hoping they would be banned but I see the owners have continue to allow them to stay. I think I will come back a time or two but I'm not really expecting any change. I know one person doesn't matter but one plus one equal many if enough feel as I do.

I don't have any questions but, no offense, if I did this would not be the place I would come for the answer. A majority of the ones on here are great guys who are pulling and trying to do a little better. They will learn soon that most of the information shared on a forum such as this is from pullers and/or engine builders, who just as they are, trying to learn. I started pulling in 1974 and have pulled on and off until about 7 years ago. My knowledge of pulling is limited compared to a lot of others but I have been down the track many times. I have always tried to help anyone but I'm not foolish enough to post on a forum things that helped me but in turn might not help someone else, or even possibly hurt their chances of winning. But I do enjoy reading the forums, but do not enjoy all the arguing and bickering back and forth. However, I do have a option to visit or not visit this site or any other site if I so wish. Good luck to you and all the pullers and spectators on this forum. Remember that 99% of the information you will receive here is worth just what it cost you.

I very rarely put in my 2 cents in this section, but I have learned over the years that forums such as this which discuss topics of high emotion are not generally productive. Better that you get the contact info of the guys you trust and email or call and have private conversations within your 'circle'. A public forum is just that and any bonehead can interject and send the entire topic into a tailspin and turn people against each other whether intentional or unintentional. I'm sure there are some civilized tractor pulling forums but they are very few and far between, the whole culture and attitude of tractor pulling doesn't lend itself to civilized and productive PUBLIC discussion.

Well said Bill_Mn

I think we all got fed up with the idiocy of some of the back and forth bs about pulling and engine building.

I find the best way to handle this is ignore the threads. By commenting on the idiocy, we are just adding fuel to the fire.
