I think you are just trying to confuse me.

That first quote was in reference to posting the work on the Internet as a public service. Does a mechanic really need to make a post on Reddit saying, "Watch out for people routing your exhaust under the car into fuel lines!" or "This is something you shouldn't do!" Sure it is entertaining to see how poorly people mess things up, but it's not like this practice is rampant or it's some sort of factory defect where the exhaust falls off halfway under the car and spews into the fuel lines.
I'm torn. I believe men need to act like men. Not tattletales. But as a former strength coach, if an employee of mine took an unflattering (using crappy beginners squat form for instance) and posted it in the same manner with the same intentions, I'd fire him for sure.
That stuff could cost me money/clients.
That's what I have to say about that. I've been physically assaulted by shiny happy people like this before (Seriously, I had a guy jump me once because I called him a fag on the internet. I didn't. I called him a transvestite with dirty shoes. I have the transcripts somewhere.) I don't care if dude was right or not to shame e-tard over his truck, the fact that the goober had such a tiny e-penis and such a huge ego that he could take a bit of ribbing from the internet- ON A TRUCK THAT HE WAS SELLING ANYHOW, was berkeleying stupid. If I had the means, I'd offer the mechanic a job myself, and paste this shiny happy people truck as a pic on my front doort of the clients I don't want. I'm tired of this litigious bullE36 M3 society. Man up and take your berkeleying lumps. Plus, the truck is a deathtrap waiting to happen. If that thing fireball'd in front of me, I'd be a little pissed off, and I'd follow the jackass to the burn unit just so I could pour salt in the wounds.
/rant.
Did I make a wrong turn into Tundratalk?
Oh yeah...it's Saturday night. Weird E36 M3 seems to happen.

Sorry. E36 M3 like that angries up the blood. Back to your regularly scheduled.....something.
Our forefathers and the Greatest Generation et al are face-palming due to such wussification: getting someone fired for getting his feelings hurt, my God!
As ashamed as I feel about getting "into it" on the internet with some faceless troll, it happened.
I convinced him that he'd never say "those things" to me if we were face to face and it ended with him (being a cop) genuinely asking me to share a beer in I ever found myself in New York.
See? Even the most stupid situations (internet fights) can be handled in a manly, respectable way.
It wouldn't be the first time I left a forum for my own sanity (and that of the other members).
See I'm the one that usually ends up getting banned, ice been told I'm excessively good at trolling. My standing record is 80k people in one ban. (I pissed off a Mazda 6 forum so bad for making their speed6 guys look like morons by not understanding basic flow dynamics and why my ms3 made more power at less psi on a ported I'm) they got so mad at Me they IP banned all of my former employer..... United healthcare.
I take pictures sometimes but I try to refrain from posting them online. Mostly they just get sent to other service riders via text lol
I can't believe we are so far onto this thread. The mechanic should never have posted identifiable pictures on the internet. As a former shop owner, I sympathize with the boss firing him. Doing something that can reflect on the shop and potentially cost future business is not acceptable under any circumstance. I agree that the exhaust was downright dangerous, but this was not the way to handle things.
They make Truck Nuts. Can we get this guy a Truck Vagina?
