Dude If you look at the dates you will see your a bit late on your telling me what I already saw. have you been sniffing the Knex glue or doing some other drugs

uhm maybe tellin fungus "ok" would be satisfactory. instead of him helping you out, and you not saying jack.  im 14 you jerk.

so your 14 do you always use your voice when your hanging out with your buds at arcade or skate park or do see the the body language and know that speaking is unneeded, fungus can see that I come here a lot thus he should know I saw his posting nothing more needed to say . I asked he answered end of story ! vary simple ! Now if you used your brain you can see by my name and use the Math I am 45. last I knew they still thought math in school and use story problems ! my ID is a short story Name and Age . I am not a jerk you just cant see forest cause of the tree in front of you !

 Sorry if I am re-aggravating things, but I would expect someone of the (ripe old ;-)) and of 45 to have more maturity and to set an example to the younglins. Your name does not make it obvious as to what your age is.

Calm down, be a little more polite and mature in future.

If I have misinterpreted this argument/discussion please will someone inform me, I can never generally detect tone of voice or body language via binary transmission.

The ratings you see are the result of users rating the Instructables. Nothing to do with admin.

The knex 'ibles are kinda prejudiced against if you ask me, or they all suck and none of them had a high enough rating to get on this page xD
I don't care either way. I like K'nex but I think are too many other cool stuff that over ride knex.
Dec 24, 2009. 12:57 PMwenpherd says:
Omg, why does every comment have somthing to do with knex? who cares?
Dec 24, 2009. 4:17 PMGoodhart says:
Not ALL of them do ;-)

Uhh... us knexers do. We are just kids having fun and learning at the same time, so don't go all that with us, we over-power you!
Dec 24, 2009. 5:50 PMwenpherd says:

All right, all right, so i used to play knex to, and they are pretty fun but we seriosly dont need anymore instructables on them.

There is NO end to what you can build with knex, "if you can imagine, you can build it, with knex!"

Think a bit here now Kenex are like Trix  (the cereal you know) there for KIDS and are not much more then toys. This site has much better things then just a bunch of toys.  What would be cool is a category here just for Kenex projects. Yes right up at the top next to Tech.  Just all for Kenex  and then do a year end  thing like ti is for this page . That would be fair to all of us users. Personaly I do not care for the Kenex toys on the same hand I do not knok them eather ,,,we all have ower starts in back yard Engineering.  back in my day it was Linkon Logs and a knok off Lago bricks  on and tinker toys. some of the old timers here had the fancy Erector sets and much cooler stater kits

ahem then why am i playing with them (i'm 13 for yer information. otherwise known as a teenager).also look at this example of adult knexe-ry in his bathroom here. hmmm what now brown cow?!!!!!! as you see they are for anyone it's just that kids are the ones that are highlighted with knex cuz they are the ones who use it the most, u #@#$. now do you see my point this doesn't just go to fred82664, this message goes to all you people who think knex is for *kids*(thought to be inferior,if thats so then why r we making things adults can't! hmmm?)
Jan 1, 2010. 5:52 AMFred82664 says:
This site has a be nice policy so if you want to through a kiddie like TANTRUM this go to  the corner and take a time out to grow up !     or do we need to call your mommy for a spanking need ?  IF YOU HAD MUCH INTELLECTS YOU WOULD SEE THAT I WAS NOT PITTING KENEX DOWN BUT MAKE THERE OWN CATEGORY!  as for last part of your remark  the adults probably could build what ever they wanted with them ,,,but why there just plastic TOYS ! and if it keeps the KID QUIET and gives the a FEELING OF IMPORTANCE AND ACCOMPANIMENT THEN SO BE IT THE LIE WORKS IN THE GOOD !

damn dude just shut the frick up ur acting more like a kid then anyone else on this page god seriously
Dec 28, 2009. 5:12 PMYerboogieman says:
are "Kenex" off-brand Knex or something?
Dec 29, 2009. 2:51 AMFred82664 says:
no it was a typo my fingers are larger then the keys of my key board  some times I hit more then one key at a time and did not catch it before posting it. however it dose not subtract any info from the point of my statement. 
Dec 30, 2009. 6:50 PMJoe Martin says:
The extra "e" you've typed seems quite far away from "n" or "x" on the keyboard.

They must be rather large... ;)
Dec 30, 2009. 10:30 PMFred82664 says:
Whatever  people can be so anal over the most stupid and small things .  It tells me they do not have the intelligence to see the larger picture or the point of the  first comment posted. oh and by the way my fingers are not the only LARGE appendage attached to my body ; )  But that is still  has nothing to do with any thing here.  On my second comment I identified with the mistake on my part then made the amends to the mistake. Witch is more then what most people will ever do !  So mister Joe Martin so perfect why do I not see your name on any ballots for presidential elections or any world boards fixing all the problems the lesser people then your perfectness ? HUMMMM perhaps the truth is your not as perfect as you think your self to being !  But you feel better about your self to bash on someone for such small mistakes

I feel wonderful if you must know.

How are now that you've vented? Good I hope!

The knex kids, obviously!  I used to be into it...

Personally I like the arduino, and other electronic stuff.
