It is obvious you need to find a good shrink and sort your sexuality issues out. Talk about insecurity. You take the cake. I am sure this isn't the first time someone has suggested this to you either. |

Matt, I guess I was pretty silly to think you actually wanted to discus this. Obviously I was wrong though. Have a good life. |

He is the asshole who started that rumor about me. Now tell me that somebone who makes such an assumption about me, because I am tall for a woman, doesn't have some serious sexual issues. For the record ASSHOLE. I am not a man. I have never had a dick. I am not a sex change, and I am certainly not a "cross dresser". Which is a word I had to look up in the dictionary. By the way. Now how come you know that obscure reference? It sure seems to be insider terminology from what I can gather. Either you 'are' Jeremy Leis or you are one of his immensely homophobic buddies. I think you are Jeremy Leis, and here is the proof that you DO have some serious sexual issues. http://www.dekalbsheriff.com/sexoffenders.asp Just scroll down the SEX OFFENDERS LIST until you find the name Jeremy W. Leis. Hit on the link, and you will his picture, along with his address. Oh, by the way Leis. Your address had better be current and correct. Or you have violated your PAROLE! Intolerant homophobic gossips always have one thing in common. They are OVER compensating, and they are hiding something. **** YOU. YOU CHILD MOLESTER! |

What the hell is going on?
Right from the start I have been amazed at the level of animosity expressed here, toward anyone who points out, there are alternatives to Mopar ATF. I mean it is really over the top! I have been accused of everything, from selling a particular brand of full synthetic ATF, to being a cross dresser! What the hell is going on here? I just came here to give the Mopar guys a heads up. I kept expecting someone who isn't crazy, to speak up and actually say something that made some sort of sense, but no way. In fact it just gets worse. I just did a web search and looked around a bit. I see someone even tried to start a Usenet group about Amsoil. It has been completely silenced by spam though. I also noticed that anyone who speaks positively about non Mopar ATF, in other forums, is treated the same damned way. The very few posts which are not ludicrous rants, filled with ridiculous personal invective, are nothing more than doublespeak usually reserved for political propaganda. The tactics of propaganda remain consistent. Anyone who says there are alternatives to Mopar ATF, is smeared by any means necessary. I am surprised I haven't been accused of being anti American also. The man who developed Amsoil, pioneered both the development and production of, the very first synthetic automotive lubricants. That was long before Mobil 1, or any of the other synthetic oils available today. I really can't imagine why anyone would call snake oil. It doesn't make any sense at all. Consider this. The entire concept of synthetic oil was denounced as snake oil, until BIG OIL got on board with it. So is there a connection between BIG OIL, and all the irrational hate and misinformation involved in this war against Amsoil? I don't know. It is enough to really make me wonder though. |
