I was one of those you may think was hard on the pipe bumper guy.
Go back and read his responses. I described an accident I experienced where the pipe bumper on the front of my pickup increased the damage to my truck.
In his response did he address the physics or engineering issues? No he suggested that those who disagreed were too old school to consider a new idea and perhaps even lacking in intelligence.
I don't have a strongly held position on using a bumper for an air tank, but I have been pretty clear that I think pipe bumpers are a foolish idea, and I've tried to clearly articulate exactly why I think so. And I tried to do so without calling the other guy names.
I found his replies offensive and I'm wishing I'd not bothered to read this post, because I'm feeling that offense all over again. I'll be taking a break from the Stovebolt while I cool down.
