I sincerely apologise. If this board is about comraderie then why would he attack because of my login (calling me a caveman) I took what Rhaire said seriously and felt the need to explain. I had no idea of his stature in the world. He attacked, I gave a little back. If there are any hard feelings (even if there aren't) I apologise.

Rhaire please accept an apology from me, please in the future ask the question don't assume my ethnicity simply because my login may resemble a well known terrorists', if you thought it was a tribute name or something like that then you were mistaken. This name was chosen before I even knew who he was. My last name is Lade (I 'bin lade) hahaha

To all those of you who know Rhaire I meant no disrespect.

This whole incident made me laugh :)
When I don't understand someone's handle, I look at their profile and all is well. When John misunderstood, I chuckled. I guess I should have sent him an Email off line.
Please, If you don't like someone, don't post it under car troubles. Write an Email. It is more effective and doesn't bother others.

As for non-registered names which sound differently than spelled, there is no reply from me. Even if he is stranded outside my window with the engine smokin'.

Actually when I saw "binlade" , I thought "been laid". When Rhaire saw it, he thought "Bin Laden". Two different interpretations. "Love" vs. "war".

It may be a reflection of the different political atmospheres we live in. In the US, goverment fear mongering, has got people seeing threats in the shadows. In Canada, government homophilia has people wondering who/what is in the closet.

Anyhow, could be an example of how effective government propoganda can infect the psyche of its citizens.

All: I'm changing my login to Jack Mehoff...
Who Cares? I offend myself sometimes...
Who gives a shit?
Let's all go back to talking about Volvos. Please?

Jack is good friend of mine so stop making fun of his name.

friends to us all :-P

Mike Hunt?
Ned A. Wang?

Too much bandwidth already wasted...

Both folks involved are decent Human Beings and as such will and do make errors upon occasion. This is one of them. Let it be.

Pepe Roni?
Terra Tetshoff?
my bad, I got a.d.d. sorry...

FWIW, I read the posts and thought that Mr. Haire was out of line for his comments directed toward you. But, as you say, it was all a misunderstanding.

(Wasn't aware that we had "rank" on this board....)

I saw this as a simple misunderstanding too. phuk-u is the only one who's post is not acceptable.

Cheers

Hte should be apologizing to you. If he can't keep his outbursts under control then maybe he is too young to be playing on the interweb.

I'm curious as to why this individual posts on this board. There have been several instances where he/she has posted under this claimed name with nothing relating to the discussion of Volvos, but solely to make some snide, irrelevant abusive remark toward the regulars who take the time to share their knowledge, experience and questions. There are some questions posted that seem silly to the experienced mechanic - but that's how we all started out at one time or another. I was taken aback by Binlade's username, and more so by Rhaire's response to it. But politics would be the domain of an opinion forum, and any issues we have with each other are generally resolved here in a civilised manner - as proven in this string. I respectfully suggest that Phuk-U refrain from wasting our time and the site owner's storage space unless there is anything useful or relevant that he/she can contribute.

And so we digress!

I am afraid with your log in you will achieve very little credibilty on the board, perhaps there are other environments where you may gain some respect with that sign in.

Who are you? I don't think idiotic and hypocritical are the right words there buddy (you might want to check the dictionary). It was a simple misunderstanding, he thought I was being a smart ass (with the login) and I thought he was being a smart ass, there is no need for shit like this. Who gave you the right to even enter this discussion?

Sorry, I did not think your screen name was anything other than an attempted play on that of the notorious criminal-idiot-terrorist madman, which, to me would not be too funny (yet). Nothing against Canadians at all, I lived on the border (Canada/US not Pashtun country) for years.
