Why 20" wheels

Yes I wrote that. This is an attack how exactly?

I'm not calling it anything. I'm asking why you thought I was attacking you when I wrote it. Oh, I assure you, I do know WTF I'm talking about, but, I find this to back and forth to be much more interesting.

Yes I wrote that. And?

Other than the comment you misunderstood as some sort of an attack on you, I said nothing specifically about 'race cars' either. In relation to my comment above. I have no issues with context, but, based on your replies, it's possible you might...

I can provide sources which backup what I actually wrote, but, I find this back and forth to be far more interesting. You seem to be confusing extend the life of with performance, when, I didn't use that word. But, no matter. I'm still giving you the chance to use a search engine before I spoil the fun and force you to move goal posts, as you did in a previous discussion we had.

It's clear, you're not a fan of the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. :) I use the signature because I find it to be amusing, but, your sense of humour and taste is obviously different than my own.

And I said, and will say again, when you have any credible study, anything for us to look at, that supports that the type of paint used on brake rotors, calipers, etc can make a material difference in extending the life of the brake components due to the difference in the paint's heat dissipation, let us know. The context of the thread, when you jumped on me, was Micky's 20" wheels on a passenger car. That's when I said that painting calipers and the like was for appearance. But, heh, I'm reasonable. You extended it to include race cars, so show us the evidence that the paint makes a difference there.

Still waiting for a study or *anything* credible to back up your claim. Crickets.......

It implies that I don't know WTF I'm talking about. Speaking of not knowing WTF you're talking about, have you found a study,

Still waiting.

And I've asked about 4 times now for a study, a cite, anything credible to back up that claim. Until you have something, I call BS. Crickets.......

You sure did, you just re-quoted it again. And if you said nothing about race cars, you want to double down that the type of paint on street car brake components makes a difference in the longevity due to better heat dissipation? You really want to do that? It's obviously an order of magnitude more into the BS zone.

In

Sure you can, that's why none have been forthcoming. ROFL.

but, I find

Trolls typically do.

You seem to be

I asked for a reference, any credible reference to show that the type of paint makes any material difference in performance or longevity due to better heat dissipation. So far....... crickets.

No erroneous conclusions here. But I find it interesting how you are unable to back up your claim. If what you claimed was true and you provided some simple links to back it up, all this would have been avoided. So, where is the supporting evidence? Crickets......

Are you sure? As, you assumed I was referencing paint color, previously.

That would require me to hold your hand. I'm not presently, willing to do that. Not just yet.

How does it imply any such thing?

Are you still unable to use a search engine?

What would be considered credible references to you, specifically?

Define what's credible in your eyes, please. I ask because, well, I don't want you to try and move the goalposts, as you tried doing the last time we had any 'serious' discussion. Rather, an attempt at one.

I'm waiting on further clarification from you.

You think I'm a troll, then?

No, but you're obviously unable to understand that the one making the claim is the one that's responsible for providing the proof. I could claim I saw extraterrestrials at McDonalds and then tell you it's up to you to Google to prove it. See how that works? You claim you're new to the newsgroup, want to participate. Well, I've been here a long time and can tell you that your approach is not one that's welcome or gets you any respect. You're having problems here not only with me, but with Philo and now Uncle. Plus you've apparently dragged an existing following in here of others too.

Just put up what you have so everyone can see it and evaluate it. The fact that you can't, speaks for itself. No point in discussing what's credible, what's not when you have ZILCH.

Until you do, I'm done with you, no point in screwing around with a troll.

I especially liked the "knee braces" part... it's "so you"! [g]

I agree with you. So...

MID:

Your proof of that claim is where? I didn't write anything about paint color, you just made that assumption. You might even try to disagree that the source(s) I have aren't talking about paint as you define paint, so, again, I'm asking you, specifically, what you consider to be a credible source and/or sources. Before, I post them.

It's no claim. I am new here. Although, I didn't say I was here to participate. That's just an assumption you're making at this point. Despite the fact I have taken interest in some threads, it's not my primary reason for being here.

I'd have to take what you say as far as my approach with a large salt shaker. I've noticed various individuals here continue referring to you as a troll and have filtered you as a result. I'm not looking for a welcome party, or respect from anyone posting here. As I wrote above, participation is NOT my primary reason for being here.

Going by your understanding, I might have an issue with a total of three of you, then. That's still a small number. I use the word might because I have no real issues with Uncle, and, afaik, the issues Philo and I had were the result of being mislead by his 'friend' concerning our mutual skillsets and knowledge.

Nope. They've been here for a bit longer than myself actually. You have it almost reversed, except that I wasn't 'dragged' here, I came of my own free will.

Should I be using crayons, or, have you figured out why i'm here now?

I asked you, specifically you, a very simple question.

You know what they say about assumptions, right?

You use the word troll incorrectly to describe me. I'm not one. But, I do find your comment hillarious on the face of it. If it helps.
