Threedogs!

Threedogs gone!

G’day folks,

It has been brought to my attention that John (Threedogs) has decided to leave the forum due to my comments regarding John commenting on every thread.

Yes, I have made comments several times commenting regarding his volume of postings. The following is a copy of both Johns and my forum history;

Threedogs Join Date 25th June 2012

My only criticism of some of Johns post’s (and some others too) are the mechanical/technical post’s.

I'm of the opinion that it's better to leave a thread unanswered if you do not have the appropriate knowledge or don't know the correct answer.

I firmly believe it is better to wait for someone with the knowledgeable or correct answer other than you to answer the thread than posting incorrect or misguided opinions.

There is nothing wrong by letting people know that someone with the appropriate knowledge will be along soon.

John is probably a great and generous man and I did not mean for him to leave this fantastic forum, I only gave constructive criticism.

Farkkk, I am used to constructive criticism, I am always getting my arse kicked during my life’s journey, but I do not surrender or leave my friends if they criticise me, I embrace there honesty and their opinions and try and amend my ways accordingly!

In a nut shell John, I do not have a problem with you introducing yourself to every new member every day or commenting on other threads with knowledge that you personally know.

I am only advising as one forum member has stated, "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt." - Abraham Lincoln

PS, it was not my intention to see you leave. I hope to see you back soon.

Kind regards,

Paul (RLI)

:thumbup:

John I have met you and know you are a good bloke with good intentions but I do agree with Paul.. you dont have to comment on every little thing mate!!!

You have helped plenty of people on here and have a good heart but just pull it back a bit.....

Thanks, mate!

I am just a naughty boy! lol

RLI

John you do have a lot to offer this forum so don't leave just because of what one insensitive nob has said.

PS: Paul don't leave because I called you a nob.:biggrin:

John i have been in your situation here before. I learnt to grow thicker skin and just ignore it and also accept people for who and what they are and look past that and still treat people with the respect that they deserve. As no matter who it is, they have put their time into adding or creating very informative posts. Not saying that you or anyone else hasn't been disrespecting others, as i now just turn a blind eye to this shit and dont bother.
It just ends up making me feel crap and not wanting to help others where i can.
Please dont leave just because of this. I will personally miss your informative and somewhat medicated posts. You have my number, i lost yours so give me a ring anytime mate.

Paul it seems there is more here than you that have upset him, I know I am one.
Been in touch with AB about this thismorning.
I have no thoughts about him contributing here one way or the other. I dont read B_All of his posts.
But others may genuinely look forward to his daily post count.
For those people I would like to see him back.
If this is just a tantrum and attention seeking I withdraw that support.
We have enough going on in our lives without that.
If I have upset you John I apologise.

Seriously no offense macca, I went through the same thing and it does make you feel like shit. But I have no animosity toward anyone for this so I just moved on with my daily grind.

I also think it was the dig at him for welcoming so many people to this forum.then he said "then my time here is done"there where a few that went on a said a few more things nothing nasty but if your having a bad day doesn't matter how people write it on forums your already having a bad day..
to me it's the same as the paper don't like it don't read it.

to those that are trying to right a wrong,good on you.

Hey, at least everyone has a very clean MAF sensor :)

It was great relief to have somebody reply to my first post, thanks.
If you personally don't know the answer to my question. But you know who would. Feel free to let me know where to find what I need.
I take all of RLI posts in the light hearted way they were meant, after meeting him l realise he means no harm and just loves a sh1t stir. Give it back to him as much as he gives you and have a laugh. We need a laugh!!!!

I disagree with what a bloke has to say on a thread.
Surely if we believe that we are helping then so be it.
We can be told differently.
John is not the type of bloke to fill a thread with spam.
We have lost several people that belong to the top of our pile of knowledge and should try everything to keep them here.
Remember it's not just words when it's told to 3000 members.
Rant over.

Except we all should be considered equal?
Because it's going to 3000? People it's important to be correct as possible.
What did you mean by the first I disagree line in the post?

What is the fuss? He is not gone. He was logged in at 1 o'clock this arvo.

Yeah lol. This has happened before, everyone just needs a break sometimes.

We need people like John around, as a forum with no posts is a dead one. Although I dont agree for myself, with posting in every post just because...

It is all due to the different personalities and experiences of the forum regulars, which make this place great.....

it is a bit of a reality check for us all that we need to respect each other, even if we do things differently

Come back TD

I just read it again and I got no idea what it was meant to say.

All I want to say is I wanna feel that I can post anything on any thread without being made out a fool by others on the forum.
I am not trying to single out people by any means.
I shit stir a lot maybe 95% of my posts are shit stirring in one way or another.
I just say what I feel at the time of posting and hate being told , no, your wong, you font know, you can't say and anything else that I don't wanna hear.

We are all blokes, but I have feeling too.
Sensitive feelings at times.
I go up, I go down, sometimes it takes nothing at all to set me in a spin.

I think we need a psychologist.
But make sure she's gorgeous that way I'll go see her, otherwise ................
Wait what was I saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait, I know, when we going wheelin again.
Wombat gotta be the go.
No that's not it.

Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Hmmmmmm, fur inserts in the middle if my leather seat, now I see what your getting at. Good one.

I just find it strange that some people get so offended about a few words on public forum they feel the need 2 leave the forum and in some cases delete all there posts before leaving ( even ones that may help other people ). Yeh a few 100 thousand people ( most you don't personally know anyway ) will see it but who really cares.

Yeh I can understand sometimes we all need to take some time out for one reason or another but no need 2 post it for everyone 2 see, sh!t being a MOD I have coped some not so nice PM's from various long standing members for various reasons, so what, I'm sure all of them I could sit around a campfire with and have a beer with and get on like nothing happened.

Yep, I tend to stay out of the technical threads if I can't give an answer, unless 2 say "sorry can't help but I'm sure someone will be along soon enough" but so what if someone posts and they aren't correct, really they are offering free advise on something they obviously believe is correct, yes hopefully they will be corrected by someone that does now the correct answer. I recall starting 2 threads myself on the GQ ECU and TCU locations believing the info I had 2 give was correct only to be corrected by ET saying I was incorrect in my post, Yep I got it wrong amended my post and thanked ET for the correction and moved on.

Come back back John, I certainly don't care what you post or if your right or wrong

It is hard to type emotion.
That is the number 1 thing that needs to be remembered when on forums..

Oh for f@cks sake 3 pages of shit.......... waaa waaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your right.
For example.
"Your a hick dead"
Can be seriously aggressive
Or funny dig.
But reading it doesn't tell you much except "your a hick dead."

Yes true, but what if that incorrect advise kills someones engine or proves to be fatal?
People get on forums seeking advice and some take it for granted being correct or incorrect. So, if not 100% sure than don't post crap or at least let them know you are not sure

At least preface your post with "I think" or similar.

Yeah, just changed my post while you were posting...LOL

I don't want people to be scared of offering advice on questions either.

After all this is a forum not a nissan bible of 100% correct answers each and every time.

However duty of care should be taken if the answer to the question could cost money, damage the vehicle or worse hurt someone.

If the subject matter is related to the above and you are not 100% sure of your answer or suggestion then mention it and ask for confirmation from others before proceeding.

Many basic and broad questions will have multiple answers too. Suspension set ups and modifcations, etc so please don't let this thread stop people from helping on general questions.

John, look forward to reading your comments mate. Get your ass back here!!!

Keyboard warriors are everywhere generally hiding with pick camp on.

I see this place as it is somewhere to hangout when I am bored or on the dunny. Also people need to take responsibility for their actions and if they ask for advice also talk to a professional as well as back yard mechanics can be some of the dodgiest.

Threedogs come back mate when your ready. Also lads lets all keep it light hearted and of your going to pull the piss at least them know you are by a smiley face or a lol maybe




Effing political correctness gives me the skits sometimes

I occasionally do post "I'm not a mechanic" or "Not 100 % sure" Kris but really this is a forum not a mechanical workshop, if they really wanted 100% correct information they would spend the $$$$$$$$ and take it 2 a mechanic.

Well that's my view on the subject anyway

G'evening Lounge Lizards,

I am now seriously thinking of changing my call sign from RLI to Fonc!(Friend of no _unt!) lol

To you pricks on this forum, you can call me Mr. Fonc! lol

Regards,

RLI

Yep I think its time everyone took off there dresses and moved on. It's his choice if he decides to have a sook and leave, yes he may have some valuable information but that way I see it's his loss if he leaves here.

As threedogs once said "life is to short move on ".

G'evening folks,

One of the main reasons that i have not put anymore of my stories on the forum is because i had 2 PM's when i was in hospital taking offence of my humor. That is why i did not follow up the remaining saga of my hospital stay.

I now realise that certain members on this great forum of our can not handle being criticized. Jack Nicholson made a famous statement in his movie A FEW GOOD MEN when he stated "You can not handle the truth"

I call a spade a spade, whether right or wrong. I will tell you if i do not agree with something that i do not agree with. I will not back-stab anyone by whinging behind their backs. That is me!

PS, we have lost some really good people over the last twelve months, because they have just walked away because they did not want to offend that person (" who was a pain in the arse".)

Regards,

RLI

Bring on the ripping yarns
