Where's Red? He's missed.

[Tortuga_imp]

Hey folks, I only shared Red's comments on why he left because others asked what was up. I appreciated RM's honesty when I asked why he was leaving (he contacted me to see if I could close out his membership). He simply chose to no longer contribute here, minus any drama like announcing to the forum that he was leaving, looking for sympathy or whatever other reactions people feel they need when posting up such announcements.

Isn't that EXACTLY what he was doing? Going straight to the headmaster, the boss, crying out his grievances in hope of what he got, an obituary and the people he disliked being made to hang their heads in shame for upsetting him?

Surely the big man would do neither, and just stop logging in. It reminds me of these teenagers who have a drama-attack every five minutes threatening to close their MySpace or Facebook accounts when they don't get enough attention/adoration.

Didn't he get a new Yamaha FZ-9? I think so, and I imagine he's spending time on forums for that bike.

He did provide useful content, but frankly I found his condescending attitude toward people who had differing opinions tiring. He was dead wrong on an ECU tuning issue but insisted that us "old folks just didn't get it."

Thinking about it, he was a bit quick to judge and bull headed when challenged. The ECU example escaped me as I don't tend to read much about soldering new chips into my bikes brain or whatever.

I do remember his arrogance on his abilities at braking being far superior to any ABS system which is utter tosh.

Funnily enough Guth was arguing that John McGuinness had stated 'no human is better than ABS' yet now seems to disagree with himself (or his argument).

Seriously, I don't get the poo-pooing about red mist and his hurt feelings and his feeling of being under worshipped. It sounds to me that despite his technical genius he was maybe a little thin-skinned. The internet is full of those types and personally I can't/won't cater to someone's ego. Life's too short, contribute, don't contribute, but take your butt-hurt somewhere else. Cheers!

Ah you're a tough man Damfino! But you're also right. I think he thrived on praise, which wouldn't get me very far on this forum, lol!

No Tortuga, not at all. He left and nothing was announced. I don't expect everyone to miss his presence here. Obviously some do and some don't.

If, on the other hand, you happen to feel like demonstrating the "big man" way to exit a forum, then please be my guest.
