I don't remember it that way, but if that's the way you perceive it, I think I would take my ball and go home too. There were a bunch from racingsaws.com that came over here and spent about a week telling us how they wished they weren't here. Maybe you would fit in better over there.

This post is quite a bit more childish than any I saw in response to your threads.

JHBC · « **Reply #3 on:** January 31, 2011, 12:09:17 pm »

Why would you let it bother you. I don't think anyone is bashing what you've said, If they don't want to use long bars, who cares. It's no reason to throw a fit.

I don't think anybody means to bash anybody, people get off the main topic sometimes, but people have learn to take what they like and leave what they don't like. We all have a tendency to vent sometimes, and don't mean any harm.

I don't know anything about this but I do know you may want to stick around and get to know the guys. This is a good place to be, good info and generally very friendly.

Wow, you think you got beat up here? Wait until you visit the real lands of two stroke smoke. Don't come crying back to us when they smash your crib and you have to use the splinters for splints.

my advice is to grow some skin. i know nothing about your experience here, but i will tell you that on every forum i am a memeber of, if you react to small picks, they will soon be huge sores. ignore it/deflect it and/or give it back, but don't whine.

BTW, use some punctuation.....you know, they look like this . , !?:;. you might be surprised how just sprinkling a few along and along will change the responses you get.

No Way!! Same guy??? Doesn't look good for the home team.

clww · « **Reply #12 on:** January 31, 2011, 02:46:34 pm »

The SAME guy! It was on another thread he started, either "people protest" or "protest is over".
Get some thicker skin! Sometimes the truth hurts, it's called life in the real world. Good luck to you, no matter what size chainsaw you run.

Hmm , imagine that .

I don't think I stepped on the lad .Believe me though I'm more than capable .

However this is a nice friendly forum so why not keep it that way is the way I look at it .The way I see it our protesting friend really couldn't cut the mustard in the true land of two stroke smoke . They'd eat him up and spit him out in little pieces .

Oh by the way I find it amusing that our departing friend found the neccestity to compare his saws to a part of the male anatomy . Perhaps there's a hidden agenda .

Cut4fun · « **Reply #16 on:** January 31, 2011, 07:52:22 pm »

I didnt see where any one bashed him for his saws he called big. I thought all of us use those size saws 880-660 etc. Heck I must of had close to 10 118cc-122cc saw myself at one time.
Got 2 of the little 066 saws right now. Just firewood saws to me and not that big IMO. 460-7900-372 good average sized all around saws.

So you have 1 880 122cc that is considered big IMO.

Al_Smith · « **Reply #17 on:** January 31, 2011, 09:06:31 pm »

If it makes him feel any better I've got a couple that are 123 cc's .

But he should always remember 'tis not the size of the tool but rather how it's used that counts .

Geeze do we dare mention that a few of us have extremely fast 2 cubers to make him feel better .

Oh I have to stop now before those mean pills I took kick in .Carry on .

Al_Smith · « **Reply #24 on:** February 01, 2011, 07:24:47 am »

Well here's the deal . Posters that post certain things that most of us take for granted more times than not are looking for advice . Now if those questions are indeed bonefide the majority of people will give that questionere every amount of help they can .

Now then out of the blue you get some really stupid stuff or a real agressive attitude and those more accustomed to that type of quizing take it as they see it which in most cases is just trolling .Plain and simple . The internet is full of them .

What some of the trollish types seem to forget though is that some of us have seen the exact type nonsense on other forums .They blow in ,blow out .No big deal .

Not sure who you think the bully is with that post. $:-\$

Al_Smith · « **Reply #28 on:** February 01, 2011, 11:06:26 am »

Well I'm not bashfull .So here's the take .Somone comes on a forum all smart alecy and expects people to kiss his a--er foot then makes excuses that people are picking on him . That dog won't hunt .

The internet is full of them and they only have one agenda .Most of them could care less about chainsaws ,forestry or any other subject a certain forum might be on.

On second thought ,another thought .Often times a trollish type is someone that is knowledgable who is just up to orneryness .Believe me I know several .At any rate I certainly wouldn't loose much sleep over it .

On the net only believe about half what you see and 10 percent of what you read on forums ---some times .If it sounds too good to be true most times it isn't .

Quote from: QuintonAlame on January 10, 2011, 01:39:17 pm

First let me thank this forum for letting me in. I been reading and getting info from this site for a few days then decided to join. My issue is everyone is a expert when it comes to chainsaws. My buddy is a person who if you did it he did it better types. His dads electric 14 in craftsman is just as good as a stihl farm boss. Im shure you catch my drift. I own STIHL 880 6ft bar, 660 42in bar, 460 30in bar, 270 16in bar, 170 14in bar, I love stihl saws got the money to throw at them cause they make me money. Everyone that sees my saws ask the price and act like hell froze over. They say I just buying a name. I try to explain. I just landed a job to clear a 100 acre timber. They say ther dads Craftsman saw will do the job as well as any stihl like I said they say stihl is just a name Spend less and go to big box store. Let me know what you think. I want some opinions from people who really know not weekend cutters.

All I can think is some folks just want to complain.

I don't have that 10% view as that would be way pessimistic for me, at least with our membership, probably flip flop for me on the forestry forum, but I think its wise to view all types of information with a grain of salt.

I think the guy that started this may have been a troll of some sort as Al described, but I'm thinking more likely a kid. All of his topics were questionable. The Green Peace thread, the aluminum chainsaw thread, and then the youtube thread.

Saw Dr. · « **Reply #31 on:** February 01, 2011, 12:38:06 pm »

I have been resisting the urge to reply to this thread. I feel that replying to this kind of excrement just perpetuates the problem. That said, I can only sit on the can so long before I have to turn on the fan....

Can the mods please delete or lock this crap? Though the word chainsaw appears several times here, it adds nothing of value to the chainsaw section. maybe it would be better off in the "general board" or gone altogether.

Jeff · « **Reply #32 on:** February 01, 2011, 12:44:58 pm »

It started here, this is where it will stay. Its not like it's goona stick to your shoes. Truth is, the very few times stuff like this happens, odds are its in the chainsaw section.

I could lock it, I could make it disappear or I could leave it to show that we don't appreciate it when this sort of thread occurs. All of life's lessons ain't about smelling roses.

I was just being pessimistically sarcastic .It's much higher than that on any forum . Truth be known probabley 90-95 percent of the peope who post on most sites are straight up then you get that few percent who play games .

Now mind you games are okay for a bit of humor depending on the crowd .However some may not get the humor and get a little peeved about it .Some times it might be best to test the waters before you dive in head first .

I would have deleted this thread, if I was an admin - at least it doesn't belong in the chainsaw forum.

We maybe if I could figure out what a Yooper is .Kind of reminds of the way those polka bands from up around Frankenmuth sounded when they played the German fests in northern Ohio .---well you'd just have to have been there ----

Skewing the subject a tad but there we were ,last of August, first Sept ,hot as the dickens .3000 people in a giant tent ,semi trucks full of beer and enough food to feed a small army .Sounds kind of corny but it was a lot of fun .

Of course I was kind of like an onion in a petunia patch with my western boots and hat with half turkey on it as compaired to most in Bavarian dress but nobody seemed to mind .Least not the ladies from my recollection .

We just "yooped " it up so to speak .

Well seemed to me the one post about the fellow growing a thicker skin then pointing out the fact they do have freedon of choice would have been enough. But then once the fellow is down every one starts crouding around andf kickin him in the head and ribs verbaly.
Ain't saying the OP was right just how I see ya'lls actions to be.

I also have freedon of choice I can type how I see the actions to be, like bullies. Takes the whole group to do the pluminting rather than just one.

alleyyooper , I'm afraid your view of things is pretty narrow and one sided. Clearly you have no idea what it takes to keep this forum fit to be on and how hard I try to keep it fit. I'm disappointed in your perception. Sometimes you have to circle the wagons for protection and to fend off future hostility from just over running you.

When something like this occurs among a close knit group, its not a bully reaction, its like when the bully smacks your brother. The other brothers come together to make sure the bully or none of his friends ever does that again.
