Why is it that...

i didnt edit your sig if that is what you were implying… i enjoy being in people’s sigs for good or bad. I love how people seem to think i am editing their threads or sigs or whatever when we have an arguement. Max assumed that, i get the impression you assumed that and then there is all kinds of other people that assume that when the reality is that i dont yet understand VB well enough to even do that stuff yet anyways. and when i do, i still wont.

People get mad at me because they got banned even though i didnt even know about it. (tim)

it is interesting how people feel compelled to put my name in their sigs for things i have said or done, again, be it good or bad, i take it as a compliment.

however, you certainly are over-reacting. Mark calling asians cheap is pretty much 100% equal to my saying all asian people suck.

in fact, what he said was clearly worse because it could more easily be taken seriously on account of the wording. being cheap is a reasonable complaint, saying that people suck is quite obviously in jest.

that said, i find it incredible that people seem to think i am insulted by being associated with ‘cheap’ parts. more than half the stuff i sell is brand name… Koyo, Stance, Garret, Tanabe… heck i’ve done more than $10k in branded gear so far in 07… a bit more than i do in knock-off stuff… the ratio isnt even that close.

because of that it is clearly an ill founded attempt to insult. were it better crafted in such a way that there was larger element of truth or a genuine cause for concern i would probably take more consideration.

the weird thing here is that this thread still isnt even all that far off topic since we are on the topic of asians and cheapness…

i’ve gotta say…no matter how small the argument…bing compiles a pretty fuggin compelling rebuttle.
