Free porting on 1st set of edelbrock heads

Ah yes, another big contributor to nothing useful on 3 Buick bulletin boards.

Anybody care for a vote on banning BuickBuddy for the 3rd or 4th time?

 

Every board out there has trouble makers. Nothing to add but controversy. You have my vote to ban anyone who hurts the buick community by soiling the waters for constructive information gathering. I would ban anyone who...

* pits one vendor against another
* attacks another board member that is not at the race track
* is deamed disruptive to the community in general

We are here for the love of our buick rides and power plants. I don't want to here things like this guy is better so lets high jack the other guys thread.

Me and my little circle of buick powered buddies have a real interest in exactly what Jim discovers while doing these heads. We have a V8 regal which could use a cheap pair of good flowing heads. Working against a thread as inportant as this one, which gives us facts about a new product for the first time, hurts all of us.

If your post does not add to the value of the thread please reconsider posting.

 

Don't feel alone there Jim........

I think afew of the comments on this thread are "tasteless retorick". The Buick community beats up on it's own, tears itself apart, and lays all it's eggs in one basket much too often. I have learned over the last year that "you can't make everyone happy"........ Especially online!
Jim puts this information up to help others make a smarter decision when building an engine, and gets spat on. This is total bullsheet, and some of you know it! I am sick of the politics and antics! Some of you need to think before you post! :af:
If you are not going to post something constructive on someone else's thread, go make a thread of your own. I don't see a whole lot of other guys offering up this information.

 

I think the tone of Bruno's post said more than the actual words he typed.

 

Jim,

Don't let one :moonu: from "Hicksville" N.Y. get to you, you are far more appreciated here than you know. :TU:

 

Oh, here we go. Your wise :moonu: comment is not contributing to this thread. Keep your smart mouth to yourself and let's get back on track.

LOL! You guys.............. :laugh: ou: Come on now, i've known more than my shares worth of people leave this board due to controversy like this, I did leave for quite some time, a few months at least, until I got my Buick 350 engine running, then I came back just for the useful info. And I shouldn't have to be the first one to tell you that, ranting is not considered useful info. :Smarty: Bruno should be able to voice his opinion, as should anyone else be able to do. Alas, Jim Burek should also be allowed to post his results w/out having someone bring him down. As well, anyone who's been around for a while knows that arguing over something is not going to get you anywhere. I have learned my lesson from arguing, especially on a bulletin board. The funny thing is, I see this kind of thing happen all the time, and then when the very exact same people who are arguing meet each other in person, at a Buick event, the power tour, or anywhere else, become the best of friends! Now, with that being said, and a true testimony to ponder, let us all move on. I hope Jim does not leave the board, and I hope that we all can just get along. I don't know about you all, but I know that I have been taught one thing: "If you don't have anything good to say, you're better off not saying anything at all." :TU:

What a joke this board is. A guy can't even do something for free for the community without having some smart ass open his stupid mouth and put a negative spin on the original post. I'll finish this post up, but don't expect much more from me. Just consider me disenchanted with the Buick community. Jim Burek[/QUOTE]


Jim has contributed much to this board over the past several years and I would hate to see him feel has if his efforts weren't appreciated. I wanted him to know that there are people here do appreciate what he does for ALL of us.

Larry brought up a good point about peoples tone. Perhaps Bruno's comments were meant to be tongue-in-cheek, but this post was not the proper place to make such comments. My first post was indeed derogatory, and it was meant to be. I angers me to see people who make valuable contributions here run off by a few know-it-all's. The rest of us suffer because of it!

 

Did Mr. Bruno come off as a no it all, no he did not. He expressed his opinion and he's entiteled to do so in the U.S.A.

So what right do you have to call someone an ass and a know it all because you don't agree with his opinion.
Just shut your mouth unless you have something to contribute to the thread.

I think Darren owes Mr.Bruno an apology!

Please read Jim's comments. I simply think it would be a shame for him to give up on this board, just like Dave from Dave's Small Body HEI's, a guy I know you respect. I didn't start this mess and only posted after Jim made the post quoted above. The know-it-all comment wasn't directed at Bruno per se.

I simply feel that Jim should know that there are people who appreciated his efforts. :TU:

 

Come on Larry........ it doesn't have to be said directly to be a slam on one's integrity.

Why not let Bruno clarify what his meaning was. It sure reads like a very disrespectful comment, and I have tried to read it as not. If I am wrong, then let Bruno come in here let us know what HIS true meaning was.
Why do you guys think there are no vendors on here giving out 'free" tips? This place is very cut throat on it's very limited vendors. You BBB guys don't know how lucky you have it! 3 fricken vendors for Alum heads??!!
We , as a group, need to quit the vendor bashing........ I've seen it over and over on the boards. It's very counter productive! o No:

 

:grin:

I hope that Greg, TA, AM&P, TSP, Kenne-Bell, Carmen Faso, Tom Telesco, and anyone else can contribute information that is interesting to read without getting intentionally put down with no constructive debate in mind.

The kind of treatment that Jim has gotten on this thread has alot to do with why one of the above-listed vendors does not post here much. You might be surprised which one.
