can we just party now????

 

then we'll settle it like my grandpa used to do between me and my brother whenever we visited: get out the old boxing gloves, tie some rope around a couple hitch posts in his back yard, and let us fight it out! that'll show who's better than who! lol

 

Hey I think its RUDE that you would want to exclude new people to this forum like myself. Hey why don't you quit your *****ing. You have lost ALL respect from me!

 

They were not talking to you, it was in general, so post up and you won't be a newbie. Just remember they all started out with 0 post as well

 

I know that I have posted some topics on here that probably could have been found by doing a search, but in my opinion, I like having a answer that pertains to my question specifically, instead of a generalization. And I'm more than happy to help anyone out with a question that they may have, if I have the knowledge/experience to do so. This is still the best cherokee forum out there.

 

I'm sorry that you only read the first few posts before you responded...

I started this thread to help defend the "newbies"!

If you would of read though ALL of the posts, you may of got a better feel of where i intended this thread to go.

This was my post on the 3rd page...

WOW... the people here ROCK!!!
As the OP, i wasn't trying to point fingers at anybody.
Yes, John your post did "set me off" just a bit. And yes, i think my post was ruder. For that i apologize to you ALL!!!

The thing that's been really been ticking me off lately is the the general treatment of the Newbies.

I really don't think that i can add anything else to this thread that hasn't already been said.


Many, many thanks to all that posted!!!



BTW- Just for the record, 99% of my posts will still end with...

Hope this helps!



So there!!!

 

Sitting at a computer instead of being able to actually talk to someone face to face is going to create communication problems. Always has, always will.

You can't read mannerisms, tone of voice, facial expressions, or body language. These are all as important to communicating with someone as the actual words being spoken.

Sadly what a person types (myself included) may be intended as a simple unambiguous response can be perceived by the reader as a harsh innuendo or a blatant rant in opposition to ones beliefs or opinions.

It's the INTERNET people, take it on faith that no matter how you phrase a comment, reply, or suggestion....someone, somewhere is going to be offended.

 

Well I haven't been around that long but I've never had a problem. Everytime I've asked a question its been nothing but helpful answers. Have saved a lot of money talking with you folks. Love the forum and all the jeeps. Keep it yall.

 

I find this offensive!
To backup FrankZ's statement, had I just gone with my first line, you would have no idea I was laughing as I typed it in and that is was in fact a joke.

 

maybe some bad apples. But mostly everyone on CF have help me alot and I've helped back. Thanks CF

Great site , and I for one try real hard to leave helpful informed answers at least 98% of the time.

 

X2. Some people don't realize that the issue behind this thread has been resolved. Others can and will take offense to any statement made that doesn't concur with their particular opinion, whatever it may be. Just as our choices in modifying our vehicles, or not, is a strictly personal one and can't possibly please or apply to all members our choices in how we deal with other people is also a personal decision/choice. It shows a lot about your character. IMO

You take offence quite often.

 

just my.02 on the whole search thing and the newer guys ( like myself) asking again. i have used the search a bunch of times and i will say 7/10 times i can find EXACTLY what im looking for, sometimes i find half the answer and sometimes i find nothing at all. yea it takes some searching, but its worth it. sometimes its important to ask about certain things, like i wouldnt take a write up about door removal from like 2 years ago haha, someone always finds a better or easier way to do it. besides that ill ask dumb/repetitive questions if im in a rush.

 

This is why you should just post up if you have questions, searches are great, but sometimes it is just as good to ask a question again. Things change, and someone else might be having the same problem.
