Hey man,
I understand your upset about it, but it was a joke. You need to lighten up about it. I usually try to keep my mouth shut but i'm even getting tired of hearing you wine about this. Sorry if i'm being a "jerk".

Later on,

Just "roll" with it, and things will go a lot easier. You'll get a hear attack this way.

With a title like "I',m a dumbass" is going to solicit a lot of responses...many that you never expected.

It is like saying "Does it smell in here, or is it just me?"

We should "cut some slack" for poor Superz. It was funny when it happened and Superz realizes that he probably should have phrased his post "differently".

I enjoy "good natured ribbing", but we don't have to make this a "flame war" either.

Hint to Superz, just join in with the laughter and don't take it personal. Yeah, some of the comments got a little mean, but if you react to it, then some people will just push you further to get a bigger reaction: which seems to be happening. If you just laugh at it too, then the post will die the slow death it should.

Super Dave,

Eh, don't worry, be happy.

Nobody, and I mean nobody has me beat for acting dumb.

Why, just the other day, I was...........


Read the POOTERBALL thread - then tell me a small computer problem feels dumb.

I'm tellin' ya, that water was cold and those sharks were viscious !!!!

But at least I got Vader's 'puter all nasty.

Hey !

Ask "Sparksaflyin" about gutting his cat !!!

You'll live - trust me - it's just that well......

You know, it's kinda' like a really drunk chic at a party who wants to prove how much p~cker she can fit down her throat by announcing it on the PA system - then she can't figure out why her chin was stuck to her chest the next day when she woke up.

You live and learn - besides that, you know now that many perfect people are just waiting to pounce on others.

I think I'll pounce on outa' here while the gettin's good.



BOR

superz i'm a little slow as usual, could you post a quote or a link to a thread where i've flamed someone or insulted them? i'm sure your feeling got hurt because you set yourself up to get beat up on in your other thread, but i never said anything to you. this isn't the way for you to resolve any grievences you may have with the moderators. if you want results write the moderator or the adminastrator and don't post on here crying about not being treated fairly. came here have fun, relax and enjoy thirdgen.org the best tech site on the net.

Hey 86TransAmTPI,
I don't know about my times. I don't know a place nearby to check it, but I'm sure my dog can run faster right now. hehe I'm having all kinds of problems like trying to get the back bolt out of my egr valve, vacuum leak or something making my car run like crap. I was crying on another post about my wife's Chrysler Sebring LXI has almost more HP than my T/A. What was GM thinking! Hey got an idea why don't everyone forget about all this and go to my post and help me. Wanting a new engine. Here's the link please I'm dying here.

Perhaps I should say I am sorry for hurting your feelings. Sometimes I do not realize that there are some very sensitive people out there on the web and some of my responces (even if done in a light-hearted and joking manner) can be interpreted in various ways. Perhaps I am just plain mean at times too. If I have insulted you within your last thread and mad you cry, I am truly sorry for that! Would you like some cookies to make you feel all better? And maybe a nice glass of milk? Chin up, now that's mommy's little trooper! Just let it slide the next time you ask a dumb question (more precisely a dumbass title) and recieve 1000 dumb answers...
