How to amuse yourself at someone else's expense - Ford Forums - Mustang Forum, Ford Trucks, Ford Focus and Ford Cars

The background: I post on the EA forum, which has a member called ben who tends to antagonise other members with his confidently expressed views and occasional personal attacks which can descend into magnificent sh!tfights. His technical knowledge is not always regarded by other members as being entirely reliable and is sometimes challenged. We were having a lengthy debate about ben's views regarding starting an EA/B without a key, part of which involved wiring the ECU relay. ben ultimately gave quite specific instructions on how it was done. Then another member made a comment elsewhere about not being willing to risk destroying his ECU by trying it, and I thought wouldn't it be funny if ben thought someone had tried it and stuffed their ECU, and then the devil stepped in and, as EA 238, I started the topic

ben - jumping ECU - two cars now ruined - you fvcking idiot

So do I (aka FordRaptor - you probably guessed).
Just a warning, don't go mixing forums or the next thing that will happen is that ben will be over hear - maybe he & pritesh would hit it off. Sorry pritesh:s6:

Same thing happened with that v8h0tr0d looney from Yahoo-Falcon forums. Now we can't get rid of him.

Just goes to prove - more isn't necessarily better!

Mate, there is no way I am going to encourage ben to go anywhere else. I actually don't mind him, but a lot of the others allow him to wind them up. He's sort of fun to have around, although he can get tiremsome.

You have no idea how much I enjoyed myself with that thread. I'm just worried that ben might sue me for nervous shock!
