I dont have any problem getting back to the subject at hand.

But lets look at it this way. What if I made post about how ALL computer programmers suck, and how I hated ALL computer programmers because this one guy took a bunch of money from me to diagnose an unplugged monitor (not a true story from my end but, I am sure it happens).

I also fail to see how a statement like "all mechanic suck" is not insulting to someone who might be a mechanic.

I would have to think that the person who made the statement about mechanics sucking would actually be the instigator; rather than I who merely defended my job. He insulted me and he doesnt know me.

Maybe I came across as a little harsh but yourselves in my shoes. Wouldnt you be a little pissed too?
