reverse rack
What are you mumbling in and on about, Tom? Why are you talking about second wash arms and plate sizes? That has nothing to do with the past conversation d. If you are trying to say. Reverse racks were not tested with pans in the lower rack, so??? Why would it matter? It utilized a wash arm for washing the upper rack. It handles pots and pans equally well in both racks.
Yes, I have a reverse rack now and have had several in the past, I know exactly what they can hold, ha. They do hold more than other dishwashers of the same era. Many of our members have commented on that as well. What's all this about your Tubberware pitcher? I am sorry if it did not fit in your reverse rack. What's the point? Are you saying Maytag engineers should have consulted you about your Rubbermaid pitcher before they designed their dishwashers? Dishwasher capacity is not rated by Tupperware pitchers. The only things I have that don't fit my reverse rack are large cookie sheets. They didn't fit in my vintage KA either. That's life. I am not disputing any of your measurements. For two reasons, I believe you, and it has nothing to do with what we have been talking about.
You have historically always jumped in when John and I had a dispute as if he was capable of handling the situation. Others have noticed you seem to be his little twin and seem to back up everything he says even his fabrications. I really don't need to be telling you this because you know it and so does everyone else.
If your last post was not done in defense of John, then I say that's great as plenty of your others are.
John brings on his own "attacks" not only from me, but others. He apparently seems to think he is the indisputable "king" of the site and can't handle being corrected when he lies or exaggerates based on his biases. People get tired of it. There are many people on this site who have superior knowledge and abilities than John. John has a lot of experiences but they are often overshadowed by his exaggerations and continual global generalizations that simply are not true. He is continually negative about any appliances or brands that he doesn't like and he continually attacks people if they say something against one of his favorites.
If you dare bruise his ego by complimenting an appliance that is not one of his favorites (as in Whirlpool, usually) his ego gets bruised and and he denigrates that person's comments.
I don't dislike John as a person, nor do I dislike you. I actually learn a lot from both of you. I do dislike members who are disrespectful of others and who continually be negative and argumentative for no other purpose than ego or trying to show superiority. You have one of the lowest emotional maturation levels of anyone one this site and are child-like in your thought processes. You view the world through biased generations and globalizations, instead of through reality. You view the world through biased colored glasses, as they say. So you are going to see things the way you want to and interpret them in a way that is consistent with those internal biased. You and John share that trait but he is a more emotionally mature person than you are, at least in some ways.
OK, have we insulted each other enough, or do you want another round?
This is not what this site is about. Way too often, I see opinions being represented as facts, when they they are not. That is John's number one speciality. If see people denigrating members, hurting them, lying or insulting others or when I see self-absorbed people using this site for nothing but ego building, yes I sometimes step in and say something. Not nearly as often as I should. Everyone should be cognizant of counterproductive behavior and step in.
We are here to share, learn and help each other. I hate to see people have their posts shot down because someone thinks they are the only aone allowed to have an opinion or their opinion is the only right one.
I realize it's difficult when we have so many varied personalities, certainly there are bound to be some conflicts. Emotional baggage, egos and insecurities should be checked at the door, however, so we can share and learn and do what this site is intended for...enjoying and maintaining our vintage appliances.
