Default Where's KUBE, lately?

I've seen several 1940-related posts this week, but Kube has not chimed-in. DD

This was Kube's last straw: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125672
He had been warned time and again.
A lesson to all. Be nice or you're gone.

Too bad. He had a wealth of knowledge to share from vast experience. If you wanted it perfect mechanically he was the man to see. That source of knowledge will be missed.

KUBE is a very talented and knowledgeable restorer/builder of old Fords. He was, however, just not the nicest person with many people over the years. I'll miss his expertise, but not his attitude.

This is ridiculous. Mike Kubarth is one of the most knowledgeable and respected members of the early ford V8 community. He's the author of the V8 club's 1940 book, for heaven's sake. And, he's a gentleman. If he's banned from the site this whole thing is busted.

I agree but it prooves that this is and has always been mostly a social site. Just like high school, some say Kube was a bully,if that is the case Henry you are definitely the "hall monitor"

There must have been more to it than what he wrote in Old Henry's post.

Seems to me that's what he was pointing out . FWIW I'm with him on the not liking the long winded fuzzy-wuzzy endless ramblings that seem to be taking this place over . I don't do " facebook " or any of that BS . Info sites are what interest me - not BS central . David J

The sharing of historical knowledge, technical expertise, etc. is what makes this site a valuable resource. Resorting to vulgarities in your responses is not! For those of you who appreciate KUBE, I understand he is still posting on the EFV8 Club web site.

There was. He had written the same to me in PM's and emails on this and the Early Ford V8 site until the monitors blocked such directly to me so he then put it on the public site. That was the last straw.

I have no hard feelings. As I said, he had a lot of good information to offer and such will be missed. I will look for him on the EFV8 site.

Damn, Kube must of had a bad couple of days. I know him and he has always been a nice guy. I guess there are two different worlds, real and internet.

I have no doubt that Kube is a very nice guy and that in person he and I would get along nicely. But, there's something about the anonymity of the internet that makes one feel safe to hurl a grenade over a wall on top of someone that you only know bugs you for some reason when you don't really know how nice a guy they really are if you really knew them.

I hope to meet Kube in person some day and get to know him better.

OK. Henry and Kube got in an argument. I doubt all the blame lies on one side.

Can we get over it and get back to normal?

We will all be poorer not having Mike's expertise.

When SouthUrn got banned from the HAMB it was for a week*. If Kube's banning is similar he will be back. He is a knowledgeable guy, and if he is able to come back that would be good. It may serve as a reminder though, to all of us, that no-one has the right to write bad things about other members. We all need to understand that other peoples skill levels and work methods may be different than our own, and that is not something to use to belittle the other.

Whatever happens, the sun will still come up in the morning.

Mart.

* It may have been a month, I'm not quite sure.
