</font><font color="blue" class="small">( To all those that take offense to my statements should go back and read the responses and show me one person that owns a Kioti that advised him to not accept the bad repair, there is none, it is the truth and if the truth offends you then so be it. )</font>
What offends me is that what you're saying here is NOT the truth. Show me ONE Kioti owner that said, and I quote, "You should just accept the loader repair the way it is." Or one that even said he should accept it at all. Not one person made any statement that he should accept it. One said well at least it's straight, another said well it looks sturdy, but none said you should accept it and not try to get a new loader.
The tone of most of the responses was, well, at least it's sturdier than it was. That people didn't insist he try to get a new loader is very different from saying they told him to accept it. Saying that members are thin-skinned because they responded the way they did was just harassment, and there was no evidence of your having been tounge-in-cheek.
I suppose different people read these posts differently, but no Kioti owners in this thread have advocated that Joe accept this repair. And even if they did, they have a right to their opinions and it's not up to you to judge, just give your opinion on what YOU think Joe should do without insulting others.
We've all been guilty of that at times, and it's never right or good, and I include myself.
