It seems pretty clear to me Cowymo that you have more than a few problems associated with anger-management and self-esteem; in addition to some well-documented and self-admitted lapses in judgement and self-control. Not only do your actions on the road make this abundantly clear, so also do your posts in this forum.

To suggest that we are all like you and simply give in to our aggressive impulses at every perceived slight is pure self-serving lunacy. Yes, the world would be a peaceful place if we all practised the self-control you seem to lack -- but it only takes a few bad apples to spoil the barrel; and you are clearly part of the problem, and not part of the solution.

To further suggest that your actions on the road are somehow normal and justifiable because others have chosen to modify their vehicles is also void of any intellectual reasoning. It makes no sense and the more you try to ram that thinking down our throats the worse you look for it.

I deduce from your posts that you fancy yourself some sort of 'honourable road warrior' never backing down from a challenge no matter how high the odds against you: the high-priced Mercedes versus your "stock" Focus. Your actions however are those of a coward - and I really hope you ask me to "prove it" because I do have a lot more to say on the subject.

And finally I will offer you my conditional apology. It may not have been viewed by many because the thread was locked, but I did respond to your post about the street racing incident and I did on many occassions use the epithet "eff-asterisk-asterisk-asterisk-cee-kay;" which I believe at one point you claimed was as offensive to you as the word it represents.

So here's my offer. As an honourable man I promise to never again use that word or any effigy of it, if you promise not to street race again. Frankly I didn't see the connection you were making, but if this is what it takes to get you to be a sensible driver, than I have no choice but to do it. When you get back let me know if we have a deal.

Oh ... one final note: I do strongly suggest that you refrain from questioning the admin's abilities with the language - his skills are vastly superior to yours. What's more, virtually every one of your posts have been juicy targets for some pretty funny criticism, but we all managed to find the discipline to keep it to ourselves - I suggest you do the same.
