sjordan2 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Not to worry, John, at least for my part. Your participation here is one of the highlights of the forum.
Greg Pugh Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Bash you how? What did I miss? Who in the hell would bash John Teresi? He's not only one of the best model builder's out there in my opinion, he's also a super-nice guy! I'm confused!
george 53 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Jus turn the deaf ear,John. Folks are ALWAYS gonna be jealous of your talent. No big thing, it was God given and I've never seen you brag or act like your"All That", so who cares what the whiners think. Some of these guys have forgotten that it's a HOBBY, and YOUR one of the BEST in it. No need to appologise for a talent. Jus keep buildin 'em Bro!!!!!
Boreham Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Hi John, Kitbashing it a common thing in Modeling circles or maybe this is another Jaguar XKE Pro Mod thread either way..... be happy.. Edited July 21, 2011 by Boreham

ffreak Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I for one always look forward to John's posts. I have tremendous respect for him and his tallents and enjoy his models and excellent photography. Keep on keepin on John, we're payin attention !!
crazyjim Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 I either missed it or ignored a bash about one of the finest builders on this forum. It was probably jealously, John. Don't lose sleep over it.
lrlocke01 Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Not to worry, John, at least for my part. Your participation here is one of the highlights of the forum. I'll drink to that! There is a handful of people on here that I love to see WIP and finished models from because they blow me away, and you are one of them John.
Romell R Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Honestly John I don't think you should have to apologize for displaying outstanding builds, but because you are such a good builder you will come under scrutiny at times, people will sit in wait for you to make the slightest mistake and then pounce on you, like you are the worst person in the world. take it all in stride and keep doing what you do best BUILD. Although our relationship isnt what it once was I will stand for your character as a good man and a professional modeller , you excel at both.

Peter Lombardo Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 What do you know, I missed the "bashing" too! At the risk of making a comment on something I did not personally see....this sure sounds like "Treehugger part II". It is for these kinds of juvenile antics that I am limiting my posting lately. I don't know what others think, but I sure miss seeing Dave's inspired builds.....I would sure hate to lose Johns for a similar reason.

Peter, the "demise" of Treehugger Dave here was due in large part to his own actions. He made quite a few posts that basically said "screw you" to the other members here. It was a complicated mess.... but like I said, Dave definitely played a part, and apparently he did so intentionally. If you think Dave was forced out by a gang of bullies, think again.
Guest Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 There are a few good members that have left because of bs like this bashing. It's sad. I think bashers makes the sad selves feel better by it. I missed what transpired here, but I certainly hope the instigators are dealt with. There is no need for it. You are a gentleman and a scholar John!
Harry P. Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 And just to save you guys who missed the fireworks some time, the reason that you missed it is because I deleted it all. I was watching it unfold, and I deleted it right as it was getting really bad.
Romell R Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 Romell........I am very thankful for your kindness .......It seems like a hold a grudge for a long time.......but,I do believe that your are good person..........I am sorry here that you have been dealing with the same kind of issues that I have been dealing with........you have nothing to apologize as well.......I do consider you a Excellent model builder and true Gentlemen.......I hope that we can be friends again.......John In my heart John, you were just a friend that was away for a while I was just waiting on you to get back old buddy. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png' alt=':lol:'> Romell
Harry P. Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 With all due respect, John, I can't understand why you felt the need to bring this up again ... especially if the "bashing" you're referring to happens to be the more critical comments that were posted in your Matador build thread. No, Ken... this was something new and unrelated to John's Matador thread.

Yeah Harry, I know there was provocation on both sides of the "Treehugger" incident and I realize he brought a lot of it on himself with, well, lets just say, "over the top" and "exaggerated" claims in regard to his past endeavors in the vacuum-forming industry, among other probable erroneous claims. I really didn't mean to suggest that these two incedents were out of the same mold. But the fact remains that his builds were very well crafted and very unique, much the same as Johns. It pains me to see how a few "snipers" deprive the rest of us of seeing ALL of the great builds out there. If I recall correctly, much of that debate was centered around the use of the term "Scratch building". It kind of hearkens back to a former Presidents use of the word "is". Maybe the best thing to do is just post pictures of the builds, omit the words and explanations and then none of use will have to backpedal or recant an incorrect use of the English language. Just sayin'.

If I recall correctly, much of that debate was centered around the use of the term "Scratch building". Yes, that was part of it. Apparently a few members called Dave out on his "scratchbuilding" claims, and he was not happy about that. But he could have come clean, admitted he was fudging the truth a little, and all would have been forgotten. But instead, he took a combative attitude, and things quickly degenerated... leading to his ultimate ban. Yeah, it was stupid and childish, not only on Dave's part, but on the part of many of those who were involved... let's hope the members here learned from the "Treehugger Incident" and we don't have to go through that process again.
Eshaver Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 You know , instead of moving furniture from my Mothers house to mine , I should have turned on the computer , made coffee and read all the action . Once again, I missed all the STUFF!!!!!!!!! Hey, I need help here in Richmond as I need to rid muh self of a bunch of furniture ...... REAL CHEEP TOO ! Ed Shaver
Romell R Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 ... let's hope the members here learned from the "Treehugger Incident" and we don't have to go through that process again. That was truly a dark time in MCM forum history
Dragracer Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 I don't think John has to say I'm Sorry to anybody, as was said before there will always be people just out looking for a mistake to rip you to shreds,I myself made a comment to John on his great Jag build,John mistook my meaning,he fired back a little,I apologized & told him I didn't mean it the way he seemed to take it,he wrote back telling me I had no reason to apologize & that it was just all the bad comments that were coming were just to much 7 he fired back,John is one of my favorite builders on this site along with a few others, to me,he is a great builder & a gentleman who is very willing to help out other builders. Keep on building & posting John, can't wait to see more of your builds!
