[QUOTE="Miniac, post: 33936, member: 2442"] I'm more than happy to play nice and be friends, and I will happily admit that I am more than capable of drawing the wrong conclusion. Here's how it came across to me: I made a statement, basically one sentence, and inadvertently made reference to an obscure industry standard. Your response related to just that acronym was 3 paragraphs long. Doesn't that seem like a bit much for 4 letters that could have been omitted for all practical purposes? Your second paragraph was clearly critical of that obscure standard, and the third, critical of bearing ratings in general. Three things occur to me. The first is that I don't think that I am the only one on the board that would view this as you being critical of my statement, and by extension, of me. Second, I don't think that anything I said warranted a three paragraph analysis, which makes it seem all the more critical. And third, I would venture to guess that if anyone ever responded to one of your posts in like manner, you would view it as confrontational and inflammatory, and would issue a terse response, or as happened once this past year, close the thread. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know all there is to know about Honda MiniTrails, and I have learned tons over the last year on the board, particularly from you, racerx. I wouldn't even call myself an expert on bearings, though my 9to5 requires me to have a pretty extensive knowledge of them. I don't have a problem with folks who have strong opinions, or that are perfectionistic. I enjoy discussions, even friendly debates, with people who are knowledgeable and passionate about any given subject. But please don't try to convince me that strong opinions, perfectionism, expertise, . . . any of those things, are a justification for the tenor of your response. And if you really want to understand about the "jacked up" price on the $16.94 bearing, it's explained in the descriptions. -kevin [/QUOTE]
