dark side? abs friendly

Wow. :(

Firstly, @HOLLEY ROCKET MAN , I blame you for this. If you wanted to know about tyre pressure that's the question you should have asked, not some silly thing to do with ABS; it just got people confused. :rolleyes:
Secondly, apologies to anyone who felt or feels manipulated by me. I know I'm no TC or Mitch but I'm actually not trying to be.
Thirdly, thanks Nolton for attributing a skill and importance to me that I didn't realise I had.
Fourthly, I would never call Nolton a liar and don't see where or how he could get the idea that I did. I can see that I misunderstood his question though and feel I should at least get some credit for answering it in good faith. Thanks @1olbull, @warp9.9 and @TriumPhil BTW.
Fifth, if anyone can point to the place in this thread where I turned it into an argument I'd be really grateful.

By the way @HOLLEY ROCKET MAN I am joking.....;)
Using your own words...

I just don't know because it sure looks like the thread was about a dark side and how it might effect or not effect the ABS system. Not how much more or less contact patch, grip, or ability to run thru the twisties, not how the road ruts will effect the wallering of the bike Then Richard was asked about how he would think it effects it and I am assuming he is pretty good at math as that was stated when he was asked for his opinion. So he went into his opinions mathematically. Myself I figure Richard must be a machinist or engineer as it would seem he understands SFPM quite well. This is something a Precision Grinding machinist is always calculating (something I am well versed on from years behind grinders. Anyway some how after he present factors that might change to much to predict how the ABS system would react sh_t went sour. I can see where running a DS tire under inflated would present problems figuring how much the SFPM would change when leaned over as its hard to predict how much the tire will sag thus changing the SFPM tracked by the ABS software thru the wheel sensor not to mention there are two for it to track. As I am writing this I can see some more variables that would mess with the monitoring of the wheel sensors even with a MC tire on so since his honest opinion and presentations of reasons things would change mathematically was not received well on the thread I see now reason to go any further as it would be like talking to a concrete block ony the block would not make any Smart Arse statements :)

Anyway Justin it sure looked to me like he was trying to answer what you asked before Hanso might have got a little persnickety with his postings.

I guess I need to learn to realize its a Dark side question as as usual to many people will show up with their large wooden spoons to stir the crap until it reached its proper consistency which no matter how you look at it its still just crap!!!!!!!
 
After receiving some PM from some members here I looked over the conversations between Richard an I.

There may be some misunderstandings between us both.

My question was specifically about a formula for weight to psi for car tires.

Richard attempted to explain to me the abs question which does not involve me, I don't have abs.
His response was very similar to something that I have read somewhere but can't find now. Similar enough that I felt that he had copied it. I can't find it now so I apologies for the plagiarism accusation.
In post 46 I attempted to poke at Richard with the "combative" comment. I did not mean to provoke anger. I was hoping for a sarcastic response in return. Nothing more!!
This comment was followed by a "*** off" and attack on my intelligence, #56, that I felt was way out of line.
Then in 59 I felt that I was being called a lier. That hit a nerve with me where I became unusually rude in post 67,68 & 69.
Looking back at those 3 post I feel that my comments were unnecessarily harsh and I am embarrassed with my rude behavior.
So now publicly apologize to Richard and all others for my behavior.
I'm still at a loss as to why my comment in 46 was taken as an attack.
I will be more careful to note my intent in any comments that could be taken out of context, by using the appropriate smilie face.
@CanberraR3
You do not have to respond to this in any way. Your opinion about me is yours and mine are mine. I do not harbor any hate for you. I will remain confused about your frame of thought and I will be very cautious how I respond to you.

For all of those that felt that this went in the wrong direction, you are correct. Both Richard and I seem to have misunderstood each other. I apologize to all of you for my "combative" behavior.
 
It never occurred to me that you were accusing me of copying my initial response, which I'd put a lot of thought into.

I appreciate your apology.

I too am sorry. I'm sorry that I tried to help you and I'm sorry that I allowed myself to be provoked.
