Pistol Pete this one is for you...
Hello Pete...
First I just wanted to mention that the timing of your heated posts is within two days of the anniversary of Chuck Maddox passing. Chuck was a close friend of mine. So with that said you are dealing with someone who is already offended by your posts and is biased against you.
Now lets go back to the locked thread on the 3313....
You had a single paragraph sentence..
"Today, in 2010, Maddox comes across as a troll. His views are today irrelevant. "
It is pretty easy to say that just about all of Chuck's work is still relevant and valuable to the world of watch collecting. That is why a group of people took the time to preserve it at www.chronomaddox.com His opinion on the 33xx movement at the time was spot on as Ruckdee pointed out. The Chronomaddox is a snapshot of Chuck's work frozen as he left it two years ago. If Chuck was still around he would have updated as he has done with other articles in the past.
Your comment that he comes across as a troll is totally off the mark. If anyone comes off as a troll it is you. A troll on a forum is someone who "stirs" the pot up and wastes energy of the entire community. You have done a very good job of that Pete.
As I continue to read thru the thread you still keep bring up Chuck in less then a fair light ....
".... In the old outdated Maddox school of thinking, ..."
Ruckdee gave you some good advise ...
"You mentioned banning. I don't think any moderator would ban you for discussing the technical matters. Personal attacks against other members may necessitate actions though."
But your reply to him .....
"I couldn't agree more that banning is justified when disagreements become personal attacks against members. I think you need to be reminded that Maddox is neither a member or a person any more....."
I now understand that you think since Chuck is gone your comments and actions are acceptable . Pete let me be blunt and say that your comments and actions are not acceptable here on the Omega forum.
On a side note your comments about The Speedmaster and its intricacies I find to mostly be ungrounded and not accurate. But I will not take up anytime responding to them.
Pete if you want to participate on this forum you will need to clean up your act. If you don't want to clean up your act please do not post here.
