I dunno, I'm kind of taking it as a lesson in humility.
I agree with DAN_M, in the regard that individuals have become too sensitive for their own good. People become so bloated with their own sense of self worth that it takes a toll on those around them.

For example, I was dealing with a customer where their Quality manager was of similar description (I don't know either of you, so I'm not going to bash).
He was the type of Q-Tech that would measure a part, and no matter how it was measured he was right, until you had so much evidence and wasted time and inspection that it would have been easier to remake a couple thousand parts. (For example, a hole with ± .005 loc tolerance was rejected for being .0006 out of tolerance, and the engineers have an internal .010" tolerance on that location. But he measured it past .005, so it had to be out).

This particular mentality is cancer.
If the part is bad, it's bad, that's the way it is. But if it's "technically" bad, but in reality (fit form & function) it's good enough then accept it.

Personally, sure, it was harsh, but what do you expect?
It's a forum. We are not here to be professional. We are here to post about CMM's and PC-DMIS. Some of us are here to learn, some to fortify their knowledge, some because they used to do that and now just float around for posterity.

The point is, who the **** cares?

This is the internet. You can't expect everyone to like you. If someone is being disrespectful on the internet, and you are legitimately taking offense to it, that's a whole seperate issue.

I heard a quote, I tend to like.
If you go through the day, and some guy is an a-hole, well, he's an ***.
But if you go through the day and everybody is an a-hole, well, you're an *******.

EDIT: I'm not hear to take sides. I don't care about the tiff, I don't care who was right or who was wrong. But everyone's bashing the guy for being disrespectful, standing up for UKCMM while being unable to take either side due to an inherent lack of information, e.g. the entire other side.
I really just get bored and thought it would make my day.

EDIT 2: It has

The thread went to OFF topics while I was writing it !
I think I'm innocent !
Hey Dan, when you read, don't forget to read also ""

"It's a professional forum"
Bah, please.
Professionals arent allowed to have a little fun?

Thank you can i get an amen and a hallejulia?!

Your're a good man Jefman

and by the way, i have received many life lessons in humility.

this isnt a situation where i am choosing to exercise said knowledge.

some capricious little nark reported me on a website because he's super cool and professional. and i called him out so he deletes his comments & hides behind his glass of tea and doesnt respond. #loser

if i get banned oh well. it was truly nice knowing all of you fine people. except for UKCMM

he was the kid picked last in gym class so he had to go and tell the principle how it made him feel =(

DAN_M this is why I decided to comment. You really just stated your mind. He decided to flag it, but he was in his rights to do so.
You are also in your rights to publicly bash him.
I am in my rights to publicly watch and eat popcorn

amen to that brother =) enjoy your popcorn

I moved it off topic. Whatever you typed can't be any worse than when this place was the stomping grounds of me and friends from the dark side so keep on keeping on.
