God! I don't know, but if you got WD-40 on skin that thin....


Milt, I undestand ya to a point, but life isn't just serious, it's funny!

It's all about sarcasm, and delivery, everything else is just filler.

The Post That Would Not Die
 

When I posted a exaggerated picture of the rake on my car I got Starsky & Hutch stripped tomato busted on me, I thought it was funny. The more conversation a posts generates good or bad the better. I posted a really pathetic Miami Vice Abortion & was accused of shameless promotion. Again I thought it hilarious. I would say Pierre's first post is pretty damn funny, & I hope he can to. :D

OK,

Let's all gather 'round the campfire for a hearty rendition of "Kumbayah".

Now that this is moved to off-topic, we can really let the horse out. Pierre got the short end of the polite stick. Poor guy struggles to ask a question in apparently his second language and he gets a bunch of flack. If he is in fact, French or French Canadian or from another French speaking country, I'm sure that the *humor* was misplaced with him. This whole deal has spread to the 914Club BBS as well. I know I've made a mountain out of this, but I won't apologize for it.

PierreL, while your son may have had good intentions, (spraying the fender) . . . to get it off, it must be cut off. Now if you had said front fender, well yes, removal may be aided by WD-40 on the bolts. But the rear fender; it's welded on.


uh?

what?


Oh!

. . .nevermind.SmileWavy

It seems that after my initial response to Pierres' question, the ravenous hordes took off and ran.

I question everything. If I get an instruction from a superior I question it. If you tell me something is blue Ill ask are you sure.

Pierre posted a question. I answered it. I recommended he wash the car and wax the car.

I learned about WD40 more years ago than I like to admit. Perhaps I take for granted some things that are just obvious to me may not be known by all. Im glad someone posted info from the WD website

My response was generated by my feeling that its really no big deal to get some WD on your paint, Like others I use it to clean the track snot from my cars.

Was my response rude? hardly.........sarcastic? perhaps....

Is removing WD40 from an SC off topic? not at all....

And finally I have lived and worked in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. To imply that I may not be sensitive or aware of others language barriers or customs is just plain wrong.

what do I know..

why the heck am I defending myself? First amendment et al.

I was probably the worst offender...assuming that he was French and would surrender at the drop of the can.....but hey that's me....always has been. Don't worry about it, Tim.

I don't have an exscuse, I was born sarcastic. :p

Im not worried at all. Actually kind of surprised.

wow i can't belive i missed this thread :D

pierre will be back........maybe we should pm him......

I love you guys! This is the best thread I have seen in a long time. Everybody has shown their sense of humor so well....except Pierre of course. Hope we don't see in the news that he hung himself in his garage!

That's pretty funny in itself. But you noticed that up untill now, I wasn't laughing. Maybe I'm the odd duck here. Someone asked what "Renn" meant. Honestly, wasn't that a stupider question? Much easier to do a search on. No one blinked an eye. I don't get it (obviously).

Re: Renn
 

The difference is; this thread went off the deap-end when Pierre (with just a few posts behind him) posted; "TimT I fell your post is neddlessly rude."

. . .. talk about "neddlessly rude."

It's funny; a guy with a french name, feigning offence, directed at the guy (TimT) hesitantly helping him.

MikeZ nailed it. --hilarious stuff!

There are no stupid questions.

Why is that?

Exactly.

Oh, wait; slowdown . . . What was the middle part?

Is this post ned-less? I suppose I haven't seen a Ned post yet. For that matter, it is rather Ruth-less too.

"I've only got half a key [sic]. I split it with the sound man..."

I read Pierre's 5 posts. He is a total freshman with Porsches. He came to the board with ligitimate questions that were on topic. The BBS is called the "911 Technical" board, right? Well, his 4th post wasn't all that technical and his 5th was his last. All I have said from the beginning is that is just wrong that he got no respect for asking a question out of apparently genuine, albeit ignorant, concern. Just a minute or so ago, the same thing happened to me. Bunch of members waiting in the wings to take a shot. Screw 'em. I need a vacation.
