...As to my being abusive of Hondaman , I was not, read the original post. I was pissed off at the situation however as would any one who had to remove and disassemble their engine again....
As I am eminently unqualified to help out in areas this deeply technical in nature, I will help out in areas of politeness, consideration and respect. As suggested, I reread your original post and then reread it again.
A thread titled "Not Happy Hondaman" simply implies, although apparently not to you, that you are not happy with Hondaman. Evidence, my man. You may well note that in its short lifetime, this thread has attracted nearly 1,300 views (that's 3,016.8 in metric). Many folks have seen the title and asked themselves, "Self, why would
anyone be unhappy with Hondaman? How can this be?"
Again, I'm not the technical guy; however, I might have gone for the more neutral title of, "Problem with Rocker Shaft Bolt Removal" or "Engine Rebuild: Rocker Shaft Destruction." Then again, as a less experienced hand, I tend to first consider that mebbe I did something wrong. But that's just me.
As to your second wrongness, you might read your post again. If you were merely angry at having to rebuild the engine, I am a bit confused as to why you would ask Hondaman to forgive you. We have lots of respect for Hondaman here. As awesome as he is, we do not come to him for absolution of our general sins. Well, at least I haven't yet.
Pony up an apology to Hondaman. I had held off on posting until you dodged your opportunity to apologize. Even if you are convinced that you did not slight Hondaman, consider well that one apologizes not only for a slight intended, but also for a slight reasonably perceived.
