Rant on.

i'm personally get very tired of the bad advice given by some folks here who obviously have no idea what they are talking about, and probably don't own a 914 or have never even seen one, much less driven one. You know who you are! I will not name names. Newbies, do a search before you post your questions, and take into consideration that not everyone here is a "guru", including me. I state only facts that I believe are true, recheck my facts before I do a final post, and delete the ones I think might be questionable or make me look like a complete dumbass! I give advice on the stuff I know to be fact, and request knowledge of things I don't know about from those I respect. Other than that, I try to keep my mouth shut and talk about Fat Tire, but you guys have tripped my trigger!!!!!!!!

Bullshit artist beware! I'm gonna bust your balls every chance I get!!!! No Mercy!

Rant off

This "problem" is as old as the Internet itself, and has gotten much worse since 1988, when I first started to waste time on it. The barrier to simply saying what's on your mind, or parroting garbage, is simply too low. The solution now is the same as it was then, if someone is wrong, correct them. Explain why they're wrong. Cite references if you can.

There is nothing more irritating to me than someone shouting "You're wrong!" at me w/o saying what's wrong and offering the right answer. We all learn if someone else publicly corrects a mistake (which can be done politely). Of course, the "right" answer is often wrong in itself, which can start a lively discussion (ahem), which is what this forum and others like it are all about.

And the results still aren't in, since two of the five answers were 9-ish lbs, two others were 13-ish pounds, and the last was 11-ish lbs.

And the first person who stated the 9-ish number (me) owned up to the fact that the number may be completely bogus, even though it agrees with a certified scale. The thing learned here was that weighing things isn't as straightforward as it seems. Full disclosure all around, and if anyone is still offended about that, tough.

What if we do this: when the admins send the new members their password, the message should warn them that if the newbies give advice later determined to be wrong by any member, then the closest member will go to their house and kick their ass.

That should fix things. The last thing we need here is folks feeling free to participate in the discussions without a fully researched and verified opinion.

This is not about an indiviual or a group. It's about those who post without thinking about the consequences of what they post. I would die inside if I posted something that caused someone to fuck up their car.

I hate to bring up my marital "debates", but similar to these experiences
on communicating, without any details you are
just misfiring. Is there any make up sex equivalent on this
BBS??? (only real reason for arguing).

If not ....then what is the purpose of calling out a mystical
evil presence? (member 666)

I've seen your post on OU getting jobbed by SC, and they are filled
with humility, very big on your part.

Keep form, sack up, and provide an example, at least.

I think its only funny to see those stupid advices from people who dont know what they are talking about. They have read this and that from the internet and after that they thinks thay are real gurus.

Luckily I have not seen it so much at this forum. Thats why I like 914Club. Luckily we have so many REAL gurus here shearing they advices.

Yes, I got my first email address in 1988, and was loitering around Usenet back when it was worth the trouble. In that time, the average IQ on the Internet (which started primarily as a research tool for universities and defense contractors) was substantially higher than it is now. I was there helping to keep the average from getting too high.

My wife has me beat, too. She got her first email address in 1984.

As for the quote, who said that originally? It's from a very well known movie.

This kind of reminds me of what I told the wife when we first started going out and have told her several times since.

"I'm too fuching stupid to get hints and I'm not a mind reader. If you've got something to say...say it. No point to getting bent out of shape, when I don't even know that something is pissing you off."

My wife doesn't play stupid mind games and it's the reason we have a good marriage.



That said I hope it wasn't me....

Trivia--the real guy, Kronauer, started trying to pitch his AFRN experiences as a basis for a TV show back in the late 70s or early 80s. At the time, the two most popular TV shows were "M*A*S*H" and "WKRP in Cincinnati", so he figured his pitch was sure to succeed. Boy, was he wrong... Took until the 90s to get made into a movie!

I thought everyone acknowledged that this place is like a hang out, a garage, where everyone is sitting around talking. Most friends will bash on each other for something stupid, like on Aaron because he is gay. Notice I said we bash on Aaron, not bust on him... That's saved for Slits.

If you can't take the shit, hang out with the guys that don't throw it, like on the Bird Board, or buy a 911 and join the little pee pee club. The whole reason I like this place is because it is laid back. You can screw around, no one gets mad.

Okay, and name the movie with this quote originally....

Posted by: SLITS Jan 5 2005, 11:29 AM

Thank you Mark for understanding, but you put it in an open forum, so you were answered in an open forum.

Now back to the subject at hand...........

Each of us has a different experience level and responds to questions based on that level. Most of us have enough common sense to know when advice is "bad".....use that common sense and follow your gut feeling.

If this whole thread is about the "chopsticks" thingy....then the answer about just running the engine has some validity even though I have not personally experienced it. Since combustion temperature is around 1400 - 1600 degrees F, a cocktail stirrer nor chopstick would survive very long. A worst case scenerio would be a hardened depost in the combustion chamber and the phosgene gas emitted as the "plastic" burns.

In turning an engine over, the plastic would be broken into small pieces that should pass out of the combustion chamber, with the worst case scenerio being a piece stuck between the valve and the seat. This could result in the piston hitting the valve, but at the low revolutions, it would serve to bust the plastic rather than bend the valve or crack the piston.

I would, personally, fish it out or disassemble the engine.........

I'm done.......................

Posted by: 9146986 Jan 5 2005, 11:55 AM

You get what you pay for, and free advice is just that.

While I don't totally disagree with you Curt, it is an open forum, so bad advice is just a freely given as good, and unfortunately the bad advice has the same right to be posted as good.

It falls upon the solicitor of any technical advice to consider the source, and the basis for whatever opinion is given. If you take bad advice and lunch your engine, it's your own fault.

We've all done dumb stuff with wrenches in our hand (or nearby). It's what you do after you make a dumb mistake. Ok, you stepped in it, do you clean it up or smear it around everywhere??

If this thread is in reference to what we can all now call "The Chopstick Incident", I recieved a PM more or less blasting me for posting my opinion, regardless of my own technical experience. Good for him! I'm a grown up and I can stand behind my opinions just as much as someone can feel justified helping someone ruin an engine.

This is just my opinion though, and I've been wrong before. Go ahead fire that puppy up and see what happens

I think every day there is a little bit more whining and complaining taking place on this BBS. And every day there is a little bit more push to be more politically correct and nice, etc. Remember the good old days when this place was run by an Asshole and it was "anything goes"? I think there was a lot more technical content back then too.

The strange thing is the "Chopstick Incident" guy has never re-posted to that thread.

So the conundrum has added a mystery to the story! Add some sex (straight) and we can send the script to Hollywood. It is possible that sex has already entered the story line, as the guy may have F'd his engine.

I think that when posting a question/problem you need to give time for replies so you can see what different people come up with and make up your own mind as to what you will do.

Heh...it does get old but never goes away...thanks for looking out for me though funny thing is....people ive never met throw it out there too  :wacko: we (the socal group) throw insults back and forth all in jest. ask howard how many dinosaur jokes i threw at him and slits while at howards place.  :) if you know me...i dont care about the insults  ;) , if you dont....meet me first before joining the bandwagon  :)

Your welcome Aaron

I don't want censorship, just some things do tend to get a bit out of hand.

Part of my attitude comes from an incident in my youth, were a class clown (more like bully) gave me a name that I didn't like. In the end I was the one in trouble with the law.
Luckily it was long before Columbine and we still used fists...and steel toed boots.

The strange thing is the "Chopstick Incident" guy has never re-posted to that thread. So the conundrum has added a mystery to the story! Add some sex (straight) and we can send the script to Hollywood. It is possible that sex has already entered the story line, as the guy may have F'd his engine.

Jerry Seinfeld already hit up Hollywood with a script about nothing George couldn't sell it either

Anyone figure out what this was all about? If it was the chopsticks gimme a friggin break.

When you read something on the internet it isn't like a mandate from God/Buddha/Allah/. Unless of course text magically starts appearing on your screen.

Advice on this board should be taken just like advice from a talk show. Consider all of your options carefully then beat the $hit out of something with a chair!!

OT (on topic) As far as "Bad Advice" I read much more then I post. I have some real life history with the 914. I know many of the club members did not own 914s in the 70's as I did. I am a fan from the beginning. While reading here almost nightly, I will come across a post that I now the answer to the confusion. BUT, one of the knowledgeable club members seems to beet me to it, and post the correct reply. There are a number of very active and knowledgeable members who always participate.

I would not be concerned with bad advise here, the members I am speaking about, and you know who you are, really keep the quality of this site valid. Thanks to them the 914Club places on top for information on my favorite automobile.

With all the links and advice from club members to information, repair and history, the posts after word really drills down the topic to great recommendations.

So, if you research deep into a topic here, in my op-ion you will receive the right advice.

I need to go back to reading so I can try to fine a post that you guys haven't correctly answered yet.
This is addicting, but.......... I love it!
