Omega General Help Rudeness
« on: 23 February 2009, 15:54:00 »
Why is it that you can try to help those who post "help" questions based on the problem described and the technical terms used, only to find yourself feeling afterwards "why did I even bother to try and help?? >:( >:(

I have seen this happen to other members and I have just encountered it with a guy who wanted help with his "cam cover", only to find he didn't mean that and then proceeded to criticize ME for the advice given!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(  So unnecessary!!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!  It makes me wonder why we bother, when I was only trying to help!! >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Being honest Lizzie I see your point but I read it asthough the Guy had missed the "Belt" bit off....
Also alot of people still remember them as "Rocker Covers" as they grow up knowing them as such.

I wouldn't take it personally mate.

To fair to Ruud, I didnt get the impression that he was being rude to you Lizzie.  Well not from what I could see anyway. :-)

Hmmm -- don't know about that Richard --- I had visions of an old age mechanic talking down to a female driver !!!  Little does he know that Lizzie ( among other members of the fairer sex) could run rings around him!!!!

Whilst I am (generally) not in any way prone to 'over' sensitivity; I MOST certainly did read the reply to Lizzie`s helpful post as both rude, condescending and patronising; certainly NOT in the spirit of OOF and not appreciative at all. >:(

Marks DTM also (politely) pointed out that the poster was in error on the issue. ::)

Whilst I haven't seen said post, I wouldn't take it personally if I were you Lizzie.

As has been said, you've shown yourself to be perfectly competent around your mig. You freely offered your advice when asked but without being propmted, he can take it or leave it.

Arrogant or not, its his loss :y

i'm with you lizzie on this 1
ive just had a read at the thread
he started going on about leaving the cam cover off while driving which lizzie is right to say oil would shoot out which is true
he did not put cam belt cover till after lizzie told him about oil shooting every where

and he started talking down at lizzie

i agree totaly with lizzie and he should be made to apoligise to lizzie
as at the end of the day he started the thread wrong and lizzie went on the action on what he started the thread then for him to change it and not even say
"sorry i meant to say cam belt cover sorry"

very easy that to type the word SORRY

cheer up lizzie if he is a decent person that will except he is in the wrong will type those 5 letters and say sorry

Never mind Lizzie... We all know that women know nothing about cars :D :D :D

But in all seriousness, I think he was a little OTT! Perhaps he's having a bad day and will apologise later on. Don't take it to heart... It was sound advice for the question asked! :y :y :y :y

I'm with you Lizzie.  His terminology was wrong and confusing. No big deal in itself, but given that you had obviously tried to help him, I thought his subsequent tone was unnecessary.

However I think it is best ignored.  I had a similar thing a couple of weeks ago  - its just not worth getting stressed about.

Cheers,
Ian

I think its a bit to much male pride and instead of admitting he got it wrong he has tried to dig himself out but made things worse ::)
