Where's the "Really impressed with Meguiar's as of late" thread?

Hmmphh...and here I thought we all were going to be taking warm showers together. What a surprise that not everybody likes everybody else, or isn't LIKE everyone else.

Looks like this thread from "off topic" really states how Scott feels about Todd:

Gee that must have taken some time to put together.



What is the point?????



It is rather obvious that not "everyone" was on the Todd Love Train ;)



Personally I believe Autopia is bigger than any ONE member. In the years I have been here I have seen lots of popular members come and go, live goes on the doors won't shut because one person leaves regardless of how well he was regarded.

Scott: 60,000 posts on off-topic and 26,000 here!



When do you have time to work?



haha no doubt that's like 6000+ a year...



Here comes the drama, hopefully this just gets locked. He's gone, done deal. Who cares.

Just check out some old Zaino/wax test threads and that would have been abundantly clear.:nervous:

For multiple user accounts....go figure. I really hope that all of this isn't hinging on Brian Brice's "testimony". Credible source?



For everyone saying that DavidB has proof...he tried to track it back to a phone and was unsuccessful. The rest is hearsay based on a non-credible source that he banned for doing the same thing he is accusing Todd of!
 
Wow, you go on vacation for a couple of days and look what you miss. I enjoyed Todd's posts and if I want to see more, I can go over to the other site. I enjoy Autopia and if I want information from here than I go here. I hated to see what happened to Holden (deserved or undeserved) and I am happing to know that this won't happen to Todd becasue I believe Todd to be a top notch detailer and will probably be very happy where he is now.



I also know that there are some fantastic detailers still on this site and I am sure that there will be more showing up every day.



I believe for DavidB to speak the way he did there must be something to it and this is his site. So he can do whatever the heck he wants. If you don't like it (call congress) but for now, be happy we still live in a free country for atleast the rest of this week.
 
It may be odd of me to state this.....especially since I myself have been banned from numerous forums and twice here, but I had though it best not to get involved in this drama yet here I am.....so let's all take a breath and think deeply upon this event.



Many people make the claim, "There are 2 sides to every story" well that sounds great and all but in reality there are 3 sides, yours, mine and then there is the truth. We are an odd creature in that we relish when others suffer, when others fail because for a moment, however brief it may be, we can then say...."Well at least I'm not like that doof!"



In the case of Holden recently sure the guy goofed and got in over his head but it's not like he committed a felony. He's also young and it could be argued, which I believe to be very valid, that it was the atmosphere many detailing forums generate around certain others that "created" or perhaps set in motion the events that led to the lynch mob regarding his actions, or lack of action. Holden just wanted to be seen in the same light.



I used to post up pictures in the "Click and Bragg" a great deal but I then realized that I was detailing more for the adulation and praise from others (whom I had never even met) even more so than my clients who had not only hired me but also paid me. The name "Click & BRAGG" is dead on because that's what's it's all about. As a society we are in fact Dr. Frankenstein and we love to create these monsters (celebs) so we can then, sooner or later, hunt them down and destroy them.



Many of you people here (and on other forums) have been mentioning stuff about the "attitude" going on and how people are on edge and many attribute that to the state of the economy but in reality I attribute it o EGO'S. I mean think about it....how many "on-line" celebs have been created through these forums? And sooner or later does it not explode and degrade into something like what we see here? Ruffle the feathers of someone, or a certain products militia and it's all out war which is then carried out to other forums. This thread is exhibit "A".



Now here we have another well known detailer who has been accused of doing things which are against the rules of a forum. Now "IF" these accusations be true I must ask the question why are people defending his actions? BUT the keyword here is "IF"......so again "IF" they be true then what type of defense can be argued for his actions? Those who stick up for him do so in vain because guilty is guilty, correct? Again I believe that the majority of people who post on these forums do so for the accolades of others.....there is nothing wrong with that because everyone loves praise from others but it does become an issue when it creates huge egos (myself included). The question then becomes, who is at fault, those posting or those praising?



Now DavidB has stated that he will publicly apologize if he is in fact in error about the ban. I have no reason to doubt that.



:geez

Yes you need to be a registered member over there to view the thread, so I thought I would save folks the time and just post a pic of Scott's post here:

Here are all the posts that Scott made in this thread:













We know that the person that Scott talked to was Brian Brice. Scott said he trusts him even though Mr Brice has been banned from this forum a few times.















At least you would not post it here Scott.











EDIT: Replaced picture and removed "bad word"

Who gives a sht at this point.







It's a wrap.



OMG, I *just* said that out loud and yours was the next post! (I just realized I wrote "OMG;" how fruity)



:tribe:



When is enough, enough? We're grown men and acting like the Audio Visual club dorks from middle school that got pounded on. Maybe some of you were.
 
Ok, at least for now in America we still have choices, we decide what doc to see and what school to go to and what Forum we visit and who we chose to believe. I honestly have a lot less respect for a few after reading this thread. And you what, it's not Todd that lost my respect.
 
I think every single one of you people should stop playing into this high school drama and go back to talking about detailing, after all, isnt that what this forum is about?



**** and move on.
 
I wasted an hour reading this and learned nothing more than I read in a 1 post on another forum. Nothing is definite yet and there's the possibility that shady things were done. I'm in a fraternity with people straight out of HS and this is something they'd keep harping on. Who cares, honestly, who cares...

Is this a record yet?

No, I think the "Favorite Driving Song" or "What Beer Are You Drinking" thread is longer. Or there is always the beaten like a dead horse thread "what wax looks best on black."

What jealousy? I don't compete with Todd and he doesn't compete with me. All I did was basically rehash this thread and what was told to me. DavidB is the one who mentioned the pictures and that was before I had heard anything, I just basically did a cliff notes post.



Read it again, I prefaced my words with "apparently" and "appears".

Should I post some of the stuff y'all say about me on Zaino, I mean Detailer's Club? Can't view there without registering either...



If we all know I talked to Brian, that I guess it isn't a big deal I posted it on another board, does it?



No, I didn't post it here because my post on OT was basically a summary of what I've been told and the content of this now 20 page thread. Show me something in that post that isn't already in this thread.



Just FYI, Todd has slammed me here on Autopia and more than once, so pardon me if I don't feel all warm and fuzzy towards him. That doesn't mean he doesn't put forth good information here and I haven't learned from his threads.



BTW, you are invited to participate in that forum if you wish. Posting rules are much more lax than here, so you can tell me how you really feel if you want.

In the real world, you'd think that would be the right thing to do, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that presumption. DavidB's top dog here and doesn't need to answer to anyone. So be it.....:nixweiss
