    First, slow down. I'm not trying to throw stones. In a pinch, I've done my fair share of sketchy shit. Instead, I'm just trying to provide food for thought.

    Second, I can appreciate someone sharing their cool project; however, your practices are dangerous and set a poor example for the community.

    It takes one injury to change your entire life. It's not "waiting for optimal conditions". It's basic PPE.

    This community is labeled for enthusiasts. If you not one, why you here?

    Man that’s not the point.

    You posted yourself working on a car. That’s great. Someone gave you some advice for working safer and being a better example for the community - but you threw a fit and insulted them. You subsequently insulted the community.

    Like if you had just laughed it off like “yeah I know I’ll do better next time” or something instead of being all butthurt and lashing out, maybe the community would have reacted better?

    "yeah I know I'll do better next time"? Really? I never asked for advice; I'll tell off whoever I'd like. I do what I want on my own time with whatever safety precautions I like buddy.

    You missed the point. You could have literally typed those words, continued to do whatever you wanted to do in whatever safety conditions you choose and nobody would have remembered you.

    Instead, you chose to throw a tantrum and make yourself memorable. Alternatively, you could have not posted and continued to do whatever you’d like and nobody would comment because nobody would know.

    I'm not typing these words to be remembered, I'm just aggravated that uneducated nuisances decided to try and give me tips on how to operate in my free time. I'm completely confident in my abilities and if I die because of that, hell yeah. Next time I won't post in this ass community because it's just a bunch of individuals who don't do anything but post pics and articles about cars.
