POST & THREAD - DELETING

[wyliec]

Just take a break for a while: it'll give you a chance to think things over...

I agree. Even Lamont did it once when he got so upset; he walked away for a few weeks.

Opinions are like belly buttons, we all have one. Some don't like it when theirs isn't taken as gospel and others don't care. Either way they are worth what they cost us and no harm is done either way. The sun will still come up in the east no matter who comes and goes here. Ride more and stress less. Just one more expert opinion at no charge.

Mike, I think you are a great guy. Very knowledgeable. You occasionally are blunt to the point on stuff. That is just your way. Everyone has benefited from your help. Take a break and come back. Nice meeting you at Spyderadventures. I now am ryding something that should do a little better staying up with you guys. Kathy can hang back with Chuck and his wife!!! :yikes::yikes::yikes:

Interesting. ...

Though I don't know what brought this all on I do believe that too many overlook one of the qualifing features of this site. Reguardless of the likes and dislikes or feelings hurt , feeling insulted etc the " Thanks" and "Likes" really tell the true picture of your worth on this site. Granted one may say they got them for a joke, funny picture, trip story etc but still they made someones day, cheered someone up or helped with a problem. Many will say it is only cause they post too much, something I have been slapped up side the head more than a few time, tough, I feel if someone post a thread it should not go unrecognized. Something you often do Mike even in a billy goat gruff way. Your stats are really good and your diy informations has helped many JMO let it be it will help many good folks now and in the future...:spyder:

Mike,

The great thing about this "bored" is it has the "ignore" option. If somone just gets under your skin just ignore that person and then you don't have to see their posts. I must say that I find many of your posts very informative and I enjoy those posts. I also must say that there are times that you appear to be a little over sensitive, and other times when your posts are down right demeaning to others on this board. Ultimately you have to remember this is nothing more than a discussion "bored" everybody is entitled to their own opinion no matter how much it differs from yours. So if you are so inclined have a cocktail and relax, id not just relax, everything is going to be OK!:yes:

He once said he wouldn't do that, in case someone posted something dangerous. He felt it was his responsibility to save everyone from dangerous advice. :banghead:

someone on another bike forum once said, NEVER POST ADVICE FOR SOMEONE. they said the reason is, heaven forbid you suggested something to be done on someones bike, this resulted in a accident, or major problem. COULD YOU BE HELD LIBEL and sued over your advice. so if it is something technical, i never help. but if it something simple, or something i did myself and it worked, then i will offer a suggestion

Maybe, but I have been doing it for over ten years on ADVRider, tens of thousands of posts. The prevailing wisdom is, it is your bike, you made the change, if you got hurt, it is your fault. Common sense is a powerful thing to have or not have.

I agree completely, Jim, and would never blame someone else's advice for something I chose to take on, but....

there are LAWYERS out there who see things slightly differently.....

Mike, I know I am one of the newer ones here, but I have found you to be extremely helpful when asked a question. It would be a shame to lose all of the information you have provided. I truly hope this does not mean you are going away.

I have found that anything that is read can have the attitude or inflections of the person reading it applied to it. I find this causes many arguments at my work, people read sarcasm, anger, or think someone is being condescending when they are just asking for info or stating facts. If those same things were said or asked in person the true meaning would be understood. I sometimes think this happens on this site also, things are interpreted with the preconceived attitude the person reading it has of someone and not on its face value, it has happened to me.

Couldn't agree more, Fatcycle :thumbup:

Really???

Does anyone know if it's possible to Quickly delete all posts and threads you have ...... similar to what you can do in your PM box ....... Thanks , Mike :thumbup:

All Mike did was as a simple question. I can't help answer your question as I fix computer problems with a framing hammer. :joke:
