As for your collection of plaid, I'm glad you can recognize my poking fun as humor, that's all it was.
Point is, you maintain ignorance despite your accumulated knowledge. Mods didn't cause this. If he had gears installed last week and his trans failed today, you may not seem to be reeling in such a big ol' Red Herring. I don't have any problems with you, but I know Jamie personally, and I really don't think this is something he could have prevented by being smarter or more practical.
Outside the wealthy, who *can* afford to drop large amounts of cash unexpectedly to make sudden repairs? Nobody, but nobody is going to be happy about that sort of issue. Jamie isn't crying poor, he's probably pretty miffed about having to deal with the expense, but it's not like he's gonna junk it now. We all go to extremes when we're mad, but he said it himself, he has a plan for repairing it now.
Stop trying to be the oddball just because there are a few nutswingers who love the popular guy. I'm speaking reason and just so happens my opinion is alternate to yours. No hard feelings or favoritism involved. None here should fear being called out, when someone vents about something it ought to be obvious as adults that they may be speaking a bit outlandishly due to emotion, it's called venting, and since most of us here seem to be friends, it should be tolerated and taken at less than face value. When people settle down and get serious, then questions of merit, sense, value, practicality, etc, should be brought to light.
You don't have to agree, but nor do you need to play the hardass just because you think your age makes you the sage voice of wisdom.
