I don't know but for Lauda is still a person that catches a lot of spammers and did helped the forum on many ways, with continuously searching spammers/scammers and whatsoever then of-course you will be a hated person by a lot of members as well and many will try to stop that person and....
So I think he/she earned a lot of credit by helping out, I do remember having a question and being answered prompt (don't remember the matter instantly, but it was fast) Then again if the red-feedback was only on that merit post that was saying something over highly respected members then I would say thats over the line.... Imo I would say its fair to remove the red and maybe make a neutral in which you say something but red-feedback isn't at its place (for me).
You sound like an abused house wife telling us how much her man has changed for the better as she holds an ice pack to her eye.
I dont know how to say this sir and I would pick my words carefully but there just are no other words like you are a d*ck that behaves himself under very much circumstances as a total d*ck!
I wouldnt distrust you for a trade or whatsoever but I do dislike your approach to many other members.....
With words I know I doesnt have to cross swords with you cause that a losing situation for even when I would be right its still exhausting and would end in a loss probably though I just know on behavior toward another member, other persons I will outclass you any day.
you don't have to be derogatory to everyone at any time.... you are a Legendary old timer, behave as one.... It will lead you to better places.
Even Lauda didnt agree with me telling you had a point, though he didnt disrespect my sayings as you always do for who know which reasons.
I am a dick. Other people might describe me as blunt and direct. I am well aware I rub some people the wrong way, and I frankly am not that concerned about it. What I am more concerned about is people not abusing the systems here to pursue vendettas against others for doing little more than rubbing them the wrong way.
My comment was not intended to be derogatory but rather elucidating to the pattern you are exhibiting as it is indeed a common one. If this offends you that is unfortunate, but dancing around the truth often allows it to be obfuscated. You seem to be the type of person who would tolerate long term abuse if you could avoid conflict, I am not. I would rather have an all out conflict and get it over with and have long term peace. This forum has a pathological obsession with conflict avoidance. Conflict often serves many positive purposes, the trick is figuring out the difference between the purposeful and the futile. There is no point to class if it means sacrificing your values. Violating your own principles for the sake of avoiding conflict is not classy at all.
