Interestingly, you CAN actually ignore certain posters. It's very easy and all it requires a button click in that person's profile. Yet, oddly, nobody seems to do it with Publius.

And, nobody cares whether or not he likes Lionel or you like Lionel or I like Lionel. The point of a forum is the aggregation of lots and lots of opinions and experiences. So that when you ask which tube to use on your HED Jet+ Disc with Conti Force tire there is someone that can provide you with a good answer that's at least somewhat grounded in data AND anecdotal experience AND maybe even they used that combo at the same race as you...! Useful.

Sometimes it seems like people that post stuff like this are going and participating in the Golf Mk6 forums if you only drive a Prius.

Further, I LIKE Lionel. I like that he wears his virtual heart on his virtual sleeve and that he makes mistakes (sometimes through no fault of his own and sometimes it's his fault) and I appreciate his dedication to improvement and admire his massive engine that can, frequently, make up for those mistakes. But even though I am a fan of LS, I don't dislike (or even disagree with, sometimes) PV's posts regarding Lionel or even others who don't necessarily like him (I suppose it's not a like or dislike thing, it's just a...thing).
