Paragraphs are your friends.

In English class yes but on the Internet I could care less. If it bothers you revise and submit.

Fine. I submit this:

If you can't get your point across because it's too ******* hard to read, then don't post the ******* ****.

Love,

TWN

I was just speculating the other day why members don't want to post on a thread or start a new one. That was not hard to read.

Your attitude is a perfect example of why they might not want to. Not everyone does things as you do. We are all different.

Can't we all just get along without the attitudes?

Agreed. Man, what's the problem? If it's too hard to read, just don't read. I had a Professor once that took a grade off for every misplaced comma. We gotta worry about dat here?

Minus 10 points. It's going in your permanent record, too.

See!!! Paragraphs!!! :yahoo: Albiet a little short, but paragraphs. What a difference!!!!!!!! :yahoo:

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! You spelled "albeit" wrong!!! You HEATHEN!!! How dare you post here!!!! You are going to Hell for sure. The Demon Post Police will jump your shi....for sure now. I'll sit back and enjoy.

 

[wfooshee]

Wow...this is the only forum I belong to where you give someone **** and you're dumped on for real.
Go ahead remove my account if that makes you feel better.

This would be considered trivial on the HD forum and any other I belong to however here seems to be a major item. I just hope the rest of the forum members get in line and conform to your standards before you need to do something to their account as well.

Thanks for demonstrating your true attitude. That alone is an education for someone who thought this was a friendly place.

By the way, is crapping all over someone's thread normal around here as well?

I hope this is clear enough for you to read.

Thanks for the lesson. Carry on.

Browse around a bit and see how many 17-line posts you find without any line breaks. It's a simple matter of readability. When I first hit the thread, I saw that first post and immediately reached for the back button, but then I saw TWN's response, and read on down.

Only THEN did I actually make the effort to wade through the first post and try to read it.

Your'e not the first one to get a pile for something, and you won't be the last. Hang around, learn that it's all in fun, and then participate with the next guy!

As for your actual topic, I've seen people try it a lot. I've also seen people own up to it, as in "I thought I could handle it, but I couldn't, here's the stuff, get it back together for me."

For myself, I've usually got a pretty good idea before starting whether I can do the job or not.

 

[Scab]

HOLY CRAP!!!!!! You spelled "albeit" wrong!!! You HEATHEN!!! How dare you post here!!!! You are going to Hell for sure. The Demon Post Police will jump your shi....for sure now. I'll sit back and enjoy.

Ten more points. I strongly encourage you to get a grip on the spelling. These point deductions are off of your final average.

Of course this, too, will be noted in your permanent record. I cannot over-emphasize the importance of this matter. Permanent records are, well, permanent.

Oh, and don't be concerned about the mis-spelled "albeit." We are slashing his tires as we speak.

 

[madmike2]

Dude, if you don't see the humor in that, please put me on ignore. Thanks.

Most of us don't have to put you on "Ignore"....we just do it out of habit.

Radical, don't get your panties in a wad, the "Santa Barbarian" happens to possess a particularly twisted and warped sense of humor. Somehow we like him anyway :wubsmiley: ...or maybe we like Patty and tolerate her choice of mate. :unknw:

NO. If you cannot spell it and use it in a proper sentence, you may NOT have a sip.

You're not on ignore yet. I actually appreciate most of what you contribute here, but sometimes....

Whoops. WRONG answer. It's one thing to be ignorant of paragraphs, but to be lazy and not bother on this forum is lame. :angry2:

R...e....s..i..s..t...i...n...g urge to do something to your account.

....OK.....I'm calmed down a bit. I'll ignore you for now, but will put you on my secret watch list. Hopefully, you'll come around and we won't have to find a reason to dogpile the **** out of you. :blink:

Wow...this is the only forum I belong to where you give someone **** and you're dumped on for real.

The HD forum doesn't have dogpiles? ..never ending dogpiles?

Check out this thread:

EDIT: I can't believe that I read the whole damn thing, but it was worth it just for the entertainment.

Thank you for the paragraphs. Really. :clapping:

How many do your own wrenching?

- - - The only time that I allowed a Yamaha Dealer to work on my bike {to do something that I could do myself} was after I brought my 97 Royal Star. I took it back to them to sync the carbs for 65.00 and got a chance to watch them do it.

Since then, I NEVER take my bike to the dealer to repair anything unless it's something that I cannot do myself or unless it's something that's covered under warranty. That's why I only buy Yamaha bikes with 5-year unlimited warrantys.

As for the dealer in question and the replacement parts for the guys bike, I think that said dealer is bending over backwards and that If I were them and said guy did not accept my offer of dealers cost only, I would show him tha door.

 

[smitty141]

I work on other peoples bikes all the time. Thats how I learn to work on my own stuff without screwing something up..

Smitty :yahoo:

 

[twowheelnut]

I think people who wrench on their stuff and **** it all up and then blame the dealer or anyone that has touched the bike just to get a freebie or at least shift blame suck morphidite ****, same goes for those who never touch anything on their bike but have all sorts of advise, suggestions, or outright hard opinions and what and how to do things of the mechanical vein they are next in line for said **** suck. No one has ever touched 'ol Frank boy since day one 'cept for the TPS recall and they almost managed to mess that up, but overall was an ok experience, but not one which proved to me that anyone out there is any more qualified to work on my boy than I. I also dislike people who think communication skillz are best left at grammar school and that typing on the internet doesn't count as if people trying to read their stuff have some innate abilities on the pc that they don't have when reading grannies xmas letter with the walmart perfume smell and boozy flow and odd gaps that tell one that grannies next letter will probably be from Valium Meadows Home for the Soon To Be Departing, though this isn't meant as a slam on anyone in particular unless some n00b wants to get a hair up his keester, but like my ol' Uncle TDub likes to say don't post the ******' ****. Yeah.

:lmaosmiley: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

You summa *****! I just spewed beer all over my monitor! :rofl:

 

[twowheelnut]

Agreed. Man, what's the problem? If it's too hard to read, just don't read. I had a Professor once that took a grade off for every misplaced comma. We gotta worry about dat here?

Actually, I haven't read it through yet and I prolly won't until it gets corrected. Your perfesser busy?

Radical, don't get your panties in a wad, the "Santa Barbarian" happens to possess a particularly twisted and warped sense of humor. Somehow we like him anyway :wubsmiley: ...or maybe we like Patty and tolerate her choice of mate. :unknw:

I :wub: you too, Mikey!

"If you can't get your point across because it's too ******* hard to read, then don't post the ******* ****."
That attitude and a short fuse.

Hey, I made a suggestion. If he had followed that, all of these ******** responses wouldn't be here - including mine. As for the fuse thing? I had a smile on my face as I typed, kinda like this: :happysmiley:

"Dude, if you don't see the humor in that, please put me on ignore. Thanks."

You're not on ignore yet. I actually appreciate most of what you contribute here, but sometimes....

Good. Stick around and know that those little smiley things usually negate the negativity, man.

Man, are we bored today...I got beer spilled everywhere and my gut hurts...haven't laughed that hard in while

:haha: :haha:

 

[HYCLE]

when things don't work out blame the bike, the dealer, your Mother. Some guys wrench on their own and don't have a clue so pull things apart and then when reassembling them screw things up by not knowing the specs or just not knowing how it came apart or just flat out damage the part by not knowing how to take the part off. Be honest...I was at the dealer today listening to a guy try to tell the dealer that they screwed up in the Fall when the bike was serviced (oil change) and they scratched up the side of plastic but he hadn't noticed until now...he also stated that how he noticed was when he went to put on a cruise control unit. He insisted the dealer pay for the damanged side panel. He raised hell and the dealer just said he'd give him the standard discount to replace it but not new for free. Guy says that if that's all they'll do, they have him over a barrel but he'll never buy from them again. I call ******** as I saw the part and if that had been done to my bike I would have noticed it right away as it was really damaged. I think he did it when attempting to install the cruise control although I guess anything is possible. In the dealers defense on one of my bikes they slightly chipped my gas tank told me about it and replaced it. Anyone else ever see this kind of BS when the guy doesn't take responsiblity for his mistake and wants to blame someone else? I think you can almost smell it as the story always stinks.

Since I work on cars for a living, I see this all the time. Some of the time you have to keep from laughing in the customers face.

A good one was the guy that blamed us for his dash lights not working. So I went out to his car and showed him the dash light dimmer control, he never knew it was there.

Another time we got blamed for the customers radio not working after his car was towed in with a dead battery. Oh the radio worked but all his preset stations were gone.

On a Subaru there is a switch on the steering column that turns on parking lights. So the guy brings the car in for the battery keeps going dead and we find the switch turned on. Gee he didn't know it did that.

You broke my antenna on my Mercedes. NO, that is the garage mode that only lets the antenna go up half way. If you push this button on the dash ,with the picture of the antenna ,it will go all the way up.

I've owned this car for 5 years, I bought it new, and since you charged my Air Conditioner I can't get hot air to come out of the dash vents.

Ever since you fixed that bad front wheel bearing the muffler sounds louder.

Ever since you worked on my Saab the convertable top won't work. "Did you have the hand brake on"? The top will not work if the car is moving so it has a saftey switch connected to the handbrake.

Today I replace an alternator on a Ford Taurus that needed more than $3000 of other repairs. He declined further repairs and I can't fault him for that.

When he picked up the car he drove it right back and wanted to know what we did wrong because it was smoking under the car. We advised him to go over the recommendations he declined. He will find an estimate for the massive oil leaks on to the exhaust pipe. I overheard the service writer explain this to him not 10 min. earlier.

Oh Well. 35 years working for the same company has its advantages. If something breaks, we try to replace it before the car gets picked up and then tell the customer about it too.

Uhm....while I didn't check it thoroughly...Friday is supposed to be capitalized.

Forum rulz state that capitalization of Friday is optional when used on Tuesdays, but only for the purpose of a proper dog piling.
