Sleepy, I am not going to argue with him or the other poster who continues to say that I lie on the board. Keep it up and I go to Chris, Champ. Your post is a written communication that fits all of the criteria below:

"Collectively known as defamation, libel and slander are civil wrongs that harm a reputation; decrease respect, regard, or confidence; or induce disparaging, hostile, or disagreeable opinions or feelings against an individual or entity. The injury to one's good name or reputation is affected through written or spoken words or visual images. The laws governing these torts are identical.

To recover in a libel or slander suit, the plaintiff must show evidence of four elements: that the defendant conveyed a defamatory message; that the material was published, meaning that it was conveyed to someone other than the plaintiff; that the plaintiff could be identified as the person referred to in the defamatory material; and that the plaintiff suffered some injury to his or her reputation as a result of the communication.

To prove that the material was defamatory, the plaintiff must show that at least one other person who saw or heard it understood it as having defamatory meaning. It is necessary to show not that all who heard or read the statement understood it to be defamatory, but only that one person other than the plaintiff did so. Therefore, even if the defendant contends that the communication was a joke, if one person other than the plaintiff took it seriously, the communication is considered defamatory."

I am asking you to refrain from future comments like the one you posted which
were untrue

i sure relate to the posts made by goatwgn. i've been a tech since 1996 when i graduated from high school. i then bought the shop that i worked at in 2002. guess what brand of vehicle myself and all my techs hate working on. ya it's fords. Well except for the alternators on the 4.6 and 5.4. they are pretty easy to get to.
I've never experienced such a **#* up on a vehicle until the 2005 and up ford 5.4 spark plug problem. letting a customer know that you might have to pull the heads on their new truck to get the spark plugs out. what a joke. on a chevy truck it takes half an hour to change the plugs. i have all the tools to pull the broken plugs out but there has been a few where those stupid things will not pull out of there. but i don't care. it's money in my pocket.

There is many times where i am sure some engineer and his buddies had a laugh designing something. They will be sitting there looking at what they have designed and built and then laugh, saying good luck to the retard that gets to fix that when it breaks...

Tom....

I think your post could be an appropriate response for me to use for what you just did to me....

I posted that you have trouble responding appropriately to the truth (and posted your own words that documented it), and now you're calling me a liar.

Don't worry Tom, I won't cry to the mods about your constant attempts to defame me...
