I read back on that thread from August last year…I wouldn’t exactly call that the complete truth. I wouldn’t necessarily call your thread trolling, but you were very precise in how you phrased your posts to elicit strong reaction(s) from the mechanics and others on this site. Frankly, many of the mechanics (even the ones you were subtly attacking) were very polite for quite awhile before the thread completely degraded.
