i have cooled of now
i appreiciate all you coments. i probley let my emotion's get the best of me yesterday. i was in a bad mood at the time any way. had just dealt with a customer on why the expensive reproduction shelby parts for his mustang look and fitted like garbage! and why it was going to cost "x" amount of dollar's extra to make them fit. i came in to the office to unwind and this bit about "yelling" and possibley being a scammer came up. i felt insulted and it bother me alot. believe me i have thick skin , you can't be in the custom car and restoreation buisness for over 20 year's and not have! i am 52 year's old i built and paint my first car when i was 15 . i owned my own shop for over 20 years. maybe i should have spent less time building award winnig car's and more time learning to talk on a computor. as for the one post where i typed only capitalizeing the first letter of each word ,i don't even know how that happen, my caps where still locked. so i will end this by simpley saying not all of us understand or even are aware of your computor rules . to me written word is written word , it has no sound , no range of volume. next time some one type's with the caps on and it bother's you the respond back simply saying in the computor world that means your expressing a loud emotion. don't just come back asking what the heck their yelling at. like me they won't understand. so we will put this behind us . but from now on i type in small letters because if i have to try and remember to hit the shift key everytime i will go insane!!!! :cheers: later larry www.llcustomperformance.com

Thanks for understanding Larry. As a test, you can go join any random message board and make a post with the caps lock on and someone will respond with the same joke. "Why are you yelling" Technically speaking, all caps makes it a bit more difficult to tell when one word ends and the next word starts. Socially speaking, you save the caps lock button for when you really do want to yell. There is a fair amount of lingo and etiquette to be learned. Not because others tell you to do so, but because it helps others to better understand your thoughts and comments.
And you can think of these message boards as online "virtual" car clubs. Just like at any local car club, a fair amount of ribbing is to be expected. Only the ribbing can easily come across the wrong way on a message board. Scott and crew do an excellent job of keeping out the trouble makers. They'll put the smackdown on anyone who is intentionally antagonizing other members. You will need to trust their judgment. If they think a post or poster should be considered offensive, they will vigorously take action. And they did not take action in this case. I tend to agree. Also there is an "Ignore" feature in your User Control Panel. If you find a member to be particularly annoying, you can choose to ignore just that member's posts. Click on the member's I.D., hit "Ignore" and poof!! They're gone. I use it all the time. :rofl: I really dig all of the roof chop photos on your site. You will make a worthwhile addition to "the club". Kick back, open a virtual "cold one" and help others build their cars. Encouragement is as important as technical support. |
Hi Larry,
I understand your position totally, you have every right to be pissed. Even the suggestion I might be a scammer just because I typed in caps would piss me off too. If you leave this site your making a mistake. Lateral-g.net is hands down the best on the internet. Everyone here has been kind and and made me feel at home from day one. Put this small setback behind you and start posting. Remember, this site is a public forum. You wont always agree or like the responses you get but 99% of the time they will be favorable. Rich |
Welcome Larry!
I understand your lack of computer savy, my parent have purchased their first computer and my dad is... wel... let's just say that the thing intimidates the hell out of him! I think you'll like our site. We have a lot of good guys, and even a few grumpy ones! ;) Still, just like yorself, we all have a bad day and take things the wrong way, or even give them in that fashion! Not that I have ever gotten my panties in a wad over nothing before :yes: Well, OK... Maybe I have... Alright, I definitely have! :faint: So, as I said, welcome! Me, I just figure most people are being a smarta$$ unless it becomes obvious they aren't. Makes it a lot easier to deal with the different personalities as well as the "keyboard barrier.":pushbutto Shiny Side Up! Bill |
