Everyone with oil temp issues

After I posted Nissan's official position, he made a post expressing his relief that Nissan would be 'taking some action'. Modshack said what the heck are you talking about, Nissan isn't paying for anything, and avitech clarified that he wasn't trying to say that Nissan is paying for anything -- only that they've provided a part number, and it is for that which he is grateful. Okay, everything's constructive and civil to this point. No name calling, no insults. But then Ricky Bobby comes along and says 'Hey do you even have a Z? Aren't you the guy who won't go over 80? You don't need an oil cooler!' (I'm paraphrasing.) That's when it goes downhill, with Antennahead poking fun by giving him the "Mr. < 80" name. So then avitech gets defensive and stands up for himself by calling him a troll. Now, to be clear, I'm not saying I agree with him calling Antennahead a troll. I'm just trying to recognize that he (avitech) was trying to behave when someone dredged up his past posts to make fun of him. This is what I mean by cutting him some slack. Has he said some dumb crap in the past? Sure. But let's leave the past in the past. Let's not dredge it up every time he tries to start over and post something civil in a thread.

But hey, take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt, cuz I'm loaded up on hydrocodone today after my surgery yesterday.
