And in 90% of his 900 posts to this point he refers in some way to the "crap window regulators" which no one can forget that he has had to deal with.

Question is, if he isn't contributing positively to this forum, why do we want him to remain here? If I wanted to join a BMW bashing forum I'd join Consumer Reports, we actually like our vehicles here, and like to plan preventative maintenance schedules, and keep our vehicles and not just come on here to complain.

No, I call people buffoons when they accuse me of posting something
years ago, that I had nothing to do with, that allegedly identified me
as some youngster. That's likely part of the problem, some can't
keep people separated, and start jumbling stuff from years ago
all together. The other obvious problem here is that some of you
BMW fanatics consider it "bashing" because I once in a while I
call their crap window regulators or expansion tanks, or maybe
CV boots, crap.

And as usual, now the calls to censor and silence me start.
How typical. Here's a novel idea. All I did was call that expansion
tank "crap". And that was after another poster, with shop experience,
echoed what I had said about them failing prematurely in response
to a question that someone else posted. All you fanatics had to do
was let that go. BTW, I'm not here calling for you to be silenced.
And contrary to what you just posted, it's not all that I do, I'm
a regular poster here whether you like it or not and it's only
occasionally that I have something negative to say about parts.
Funny thing too, isn't it? I don't see you calling for censorship for
people that say Chinese parts are crap, aftermarket parts are crap,
but Woooh!, if anyone dares to say that one part that BMW uses
is crap, well then you just can't take that. Grow up.
