Re: That's it I'm out of here...
I've been AWOL from the Forum for a while and missed whatever turned Mr.Macsimizer off and self-opted out, BUT I note the reaction to his farewell post is unanamous in urging him to reconsider and remain, EXCEPT for the Forum Command statements like "..we are better off without you" and " ... looking for attention and approval that you are are better than the rest of us."
Like the U.S. Army, Ford-Diesel.com is an organization with a diverse membership of people with varying social, financial, educational, talent, skills, competence etc. traits. An Army Commander has no choice of who he gets to command , but he is trained to and expected to provide leadership regardless of who he leads. A big factor in effective leadership is public relations. So Macsimizer is having a bad-hair day, telling him to go ahead and go is equivalent to telling the distraught guy standing on top the building ready to end it all to "Go ahead and jump, the world's no good". Leadership means leading, not pushing.
Just about everyone thinks they are "better than the rest of us" on some subjects, and I have no doubt Macsimizer is a lot better at diesels than I am or ever will be. I suggest the Head Shed lighten up on Trooper Macsimizer - we might need his expertise one of these days.
