Greg Myers Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Well I see someone finally pissed him off. who's going to be next? There are many great builders on this board and many with a great working knowledge of the subject we model. I'm hard pressed to understand why so many don't look at the advise and wisdom of those people and continually go after them in one way or another. I for one will miss all that Ace-Garageguy, Bill Engwer had to offer. Edited February 2, 2019 by Greg Myers
gbdolfans Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Hi Bill, even though I don't post a lot,I come here at least 1-2 times a day. I always enjoy your comments and opinions. You have a lot of good things to share and I for one am thankful you are here. did someone upset you? If so,they are not worth talking about. They are 1 lug nut short of a set. I have learned a lot from you !! George Bluhm
cobraman Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Bill gone ? If true I will for one miss him. He had helped me many times as well as a great many other people. He had a lot to offer.
Matt Bacon Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I’ll miss him... he certainly knows his stuff. That said, he also liked flying close to the line, baiting the mods, whether he intended to or not, and had more than a few sense of humour failures. I guess someone will be along to tell us whether he finally went too far for the mods, or has taken his bat home because someone crossed HIS line... I’d buy him a beer, if ever we’re in the same neck of the woods. best, M.
MrObsessive Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I was taken aback by his message as it was the first one I saw when I came on the board a couple hours ago. I don't know what happened, but I'll miss his knowledge on car things and models. I've picked up some things from him over the time he was here. Speaking of that, in the nearly 13 years I've been on this board (here almost since the very beginning) I've had to use the 'ignore' feature a couple times for certain ones. I don't suffer fools gladly, but I won't get into a skunk spraying match over what's supposed to be a hobby about plastic cars (or what have you). Sorry this happened........hopefully he can patch things up (or whoever might have did him wrong can do the patching) and come back on the board.
Snake45 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I don't see where he's gone. Looks like someone removed a post or two of his from another thread, but that's all I can find.
Rob Hall Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) I found him to be a toxic individual and had blocked him long ago. The board is better off without him. Good riddance. Edited February 2, 2019 by Rob Hall
Xingu Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Just to stop all of the speculation. It was not a disagreement with another member. Bill broke a forum rule and was given a warning point. He took exception to it, posted he was leaving and sent the mods some "feisty" messages. I do not think he will be back.
cowboy rich Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Well I for one will miss him being here, I know some people had issues with him but I did not, then again I tend to like blunt truthfulness from people who can back it up with proven facts. Hate to see him go.

Greg Myers Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) well there ya go. Tread lightly, I have three "Warning points" and have been on secret double probation a few times. Edited February 2, 2019 by Greg Myers
bismarck Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 He wasn't afraid to call them as he saw them. I guess that's not P/C in today's "enlightened" environment...... . I'll miss him. I might not have agreed with everything he said, BUT I respected him for saying what he thought. For that, he has my respect.
mike 51 Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 (edited) Nothing to do with being PC. He just wouldn't accept the fact he was a guest here and therefore subject to the rules....after all this site is about model cars and not for toxic social commentary.... Edited February 2, 2019 by mike 51

bobthehobbyguy Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 I will miss his vast automotive knowledge.
Greg Myers Posted February 2, 2019 Author Posted February 2, 2019 Here's an example of what we will miss , Small files
iamsuperdan Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Umm...does everyone really think he's gone? Lolz. We haven't banned him, nor have we deleted any of his posts. Nor are we planning to. So like the last time he was warned for crossing the line, he'll go away for a bit, and then he'll be back. Probably. He has a lot of knowledge to share, and it's great when he does. Because even though he can be a little blunt, and a little too direct for some, he knows what he's talking about. But like everyone else, he needs to follow the rules. And just like everyone else, if he can't follow simple rules, then there are consequences. No one around here is above the rules.

landman Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 What exactly did he do? So we don’t do the same.
