intrigued :dunno:

 

Does....the.....person.....usually type like .........this .... ?
Did it ........ ramble?

 

As I've said previously nobody should say anything on a forum or by any other electronic means they wouldn't say to someone's face.

 

How rude Paul....

 

good morning all
people ask for information on here to be able to help them in their quest to rectify problems , cjj does excellent guides.....i have been repairing my own cars and a few others for around 30 years now ...i dont know everything and my way of doing things is not to everyone's taste or methods, i work safely, i methodically approach stubborn faults which are not easily identified.....

the point of this thread ....i own an MG TF most problems i comment on are MGF or TF related ....but to the individual that has been around for a few months less than me ....keep your nose out of my comments....i offer advice not solutions and to class my abilty to offer a viable repair or diagnosis is beyond a joke ......obviously their e-mail to me via the outside of the forum ......i am not going to name but needless to say your comments of the verbal dioreha variety need certainly beeping out ........i dont think i have met you.....certainly fortuitous on my part

i will offer my advice ...whether or not it is acted on is the owners prerogative NOT YOURS

Paul - don't take this muppets comments to heart - I have only been on this forum for two months, but I have already used a few of your snippets of advice and they have come in so handy.

I for one will always listen to any advice given from members of this forum - and then I make an informed decision about using that advice - it does hack me off when forum members come on to someones post and make disparaging comments, or even just try to rip the member apart. If you do not know for definate, these forums are excellent for help, but there are a few that get some kind of twisted fun from trying to bring people down.

Paul - just keep the advice coming - I for one will listen!

 

Agree with the above post.

Odd someone would be compelled to send emails like that outside the forum but it takes all kinds I suppose.

At least emails are easily blocked.

 

You keep handing out the advice Paul :broon:

 

Well thats a bugger. How sad is that?

 

Paul,

As said above, do not waste your time on people that do not deserve that by their behavior. Just ignore them. too many members left this forum because of this kind of people.

Do not let them win. Not worth it... Keep up the good work

 

I take it all with apinch of salt now Paul.

Advice is all we can give, but by doing that we do make ourselves a target for some crap sometimes.

 

You are more restrained than I'd be. If that happened to me, I would copy and paste the entire email on here for all to see, along with the name of the muppet - then if I believe the abuse and language too offensive, possible legal action.

The only problem with the internet is that you run into people you absolutely would not care to know in the real world.

I agree ^^^^^^^^

Then we could all email them with our thoughts.

I guess they emailed you rather than comment on a post of yours for the whole world to see??
That way we'd all know who the coward was.

( awaits email )

 

No need for that sort of thing. I woukd report it to the Mods on here though so if there is any more silliness, there is a record and previous to be considered in sanctions if they are appropriate

 

I'm quite shocked by this really, I've only met you in person the once at the FRL and without sounding too bad ( ) you are a thoroughly nice bloke and your thoughts and opinions on here are normally a good read. I do agree that naming and shaming is a bad idea but hopefully they will read this thread and think about what they are doing.
This site is a brilliant tool for everyone to throw in ideas and help others

 

Just ignore the braindead comments Paul, He/She is obviously jealous of your knowledge. If it wasn't for you and others who provided Hints Tips And Advice, people would have been stung with huge repair and fixing bills, I for one have found these shared "How To's" a god send. Only recently CJJ offered me a hint what to look for on my recent breakdown and sure enough it was spot on. So keep it up :broon:

 

Hopefully this post will have scared the muppet off!

 

Very strange to act like you describe - what's the point?

Ignore them Paul

I had one over a year ago... Said I'd ruined a perfectly good MG..

Mind they had a point

 

Really wish I hadn't clicked that link. Lol

 

There's no excuse for anyone sending out abusive emails to any users.

I may disagree with some people's advice based on my own experience, but we all have a different experience, and your advice may be better than my own.

Paul, keep on giving out advice, don't let them scare you off.

 

hi all
as said to Chris the admin....i am not naming that is just me ....takes a lot to put me off so i will be around dishing out BAD advice......:itschy:

i think i may have put something that didnt quite agree, and he was on a bad day (well that rules out the female side of the forum)....
i opened this thread up just as bit of a wake up call to him as he has given advice to a few members .......
cheers guys and i am still going to be around .....got to get this v6 started and finished yet:naughty: i suppose i will get all those comments Allan about ruining a MG

I believe in a second chance for all, after all we all have something in common our pride and joys MG`s

:woo::woo::woo:

Hi Paul, sorry to hear about this mate Is this what you get for trying to help people. Over the past two years i have learnt so much from people on this forum and i'm very grateful.

I too recently had a few quite nasty emails which dropped into my website inbox, accusing me of showing off and posting none meaningful posts.. I wont name and shame as their time will come, but these days i think 7 or 8 times before i post anything !!!!

Personally i feel some people just want to pic fights on the threads and i didnt sign up for that.. I have met some fantastic people on here, some of who will be friends for life...

I think CJJ posted "its so hard to diagnose problems on a forum" I agree with him, but at least he does his best and so do a lot of other people...

Thats my take
Peace & Love To The Real People
John

 

You are doing a V6 MG? That would be worth seeing - and hearing

 

Hey Paul,

I have this very day completed a 'How To' ish type guide that I thought might be of use on here but this sort behaviour makes me think whether or not it's worth it?

I will probably still go ahead and post because I want to share my experience that will hopefully help others as others (including yourself) have helped me over the past two years.

It's a real shame this sort of things occurs, particularly to the likes of yourself who genuinely want impart knowledge and help wherever possible. The problem of being in the spotlight is as Clive has said, and sadly, you can get shot at!

I know it won't deter you and so it shouldn't as the forum is better place with you amongst it!!

 

Everyone here is an adult and as such you should know when to take advice, ignore it or what not. No one is responsible for any mistakes you do out of a guide, and as said, this is your own way of doing things.

And as I keep saying, if anyone has any problems with what I say or do, get on the plane and tell me in person. Too many keyboard warriors over here.

 

I fear its getting worse Danny

 

Bulling, intimidation etc, some of the pitfalls of social media im afraid.

But . . . social media can also work in your favor. Use this forum to your advantage by continuing to offer advice which will annoy the hell out of the coward.

 

...continuing to offer advice which will annoy the hell out of the coward.

I really do like the Spirit... of this forum... and forum members!!

 

That's truly pathetic. Please keep passing on the benefit of your advice. Otherwise numpties like me would be truly lost! What compels somebody to do that anyway?

 

Paul,
Like you, I offer advice to people on this forum if I think I can help in any way.
I also seach the forum for help and the wealth of 'How To's' is incredible.
We all learn about these cars from our own experiences and the experiences of others such as yourself.

Keep posting!

I for one, learn from every post on here!
