[DML] Re: Keeping a Sour Exchange Alive

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't want to discuss anything. This person keeps pestering me that because I posted a video that included *3 SECONDS* of a toy DeLorean on a toy tow truck, people are going to assume that Marc's car is a POS.

Man up. If you are going to deviate from the stock design, you had better be prepared for people to draw all sorts of conclusions about your endeavor, negative as well as positive. Trust me: people have been giving me shit about my car ever since 2004. 

Here's a novel idea: if you don't want someone to draw attention to your car, then don't start a flame war (which I remind yet again did not offend me -- I played along) by mentioning his car/endeavors *FIRST*. If you want to remain anonymous, keep your mouth shut.

I never thought of Marc as a spineless waif who would wither into dust as soon as someone made fun of his car. If he is in fact self assured and confident, then this controversy was over before it ever started. You could go so far as to criticize his car to his face, and he would just shrug his shoulders and say "tough -- if you don't like it, don't look at it. "
