Stihl quality = bad

[BarkBuster20]

now if you will just priv msg that to zombiechopper, he will make sure to be insensitive to your racial minority issue. hes making a list. I knew we shouldnt have insulted his family and been racist...:hmm3grin2orange:

 

[Zombiechopper]

Yeah what the hell are you bringing down sydrome into this for? thats rediculous.

Well, the word 'retarded' is not used in polite conversation here. Using that word would be on par with the many racial slurs that no one would dare not use because we know better, and we know that one's race does not affect ones intelligence.

Say that word around someone with family that get hurt by the word and you will get a strong reaction. It's like saying, "man you are so dumb, it's like you are as dumb as someone with a genetic condition that lets them be taken advantage of and ridiculed by society".

Something comparable would be to say, " you are as dumb as a (blank)" - fill in the racial slur of your choice. Not very nice way to describe another human being either way. Neither person can help being who they are nor should they want or need to. Using the word 'retarded' as an insult is hugely painful to those born with many different kinds of medical problems.

You think someone with Down's syndrome can't possibly be on and read Arboristsite? THINK AGAIN.

The word retarded has many meanings, my timing on my truck was retarded just last week in fact.

I never thought I'd be explaining to grown men why a mentally handicapped person reading the word 'retarded' thrown around as an insult would be upset by it but I guess I had to spell it all out. That's a sad thing. I have stronger words for how I feel about some of you but I'll leave it at that.

On a side note, what's Oregon weather like this time of year? I've had seven inches of rain since last monday with 90+ temps and 80% RH.

BTW, Sure hope Flatie gets his saw taken care of in a timely manner.

the third post I think.

I hope you read that article about the word, regardless of what you think of me. Then realize there are people here directly affected by it.

Bud I really dont think you understand how many 211's are out there without any problems. If I was you I'd bring yours back to the dealer and demand a new one. I think youll find you just got a bad one but whatever.

I actually had pretty much the same issue with my 211 the day I bought it. I tried to remove the bar nut, and the bar stud came with it. No big deal I separated the two and put some Loctite on the stud and it hasn't given me any issues since, and I do like the saw for what it is. With that said, yes Stihl over charges for these cheaply made saws that aren't that much better than a $100 Poulan, stamped rod and all.

opcorn:

Second every brand be it, stihl husky ford doge chevy IH John deere, etc. has had a bad product every now and then becuae the QC Inspector fell asleep. You don't judge an entire brand becuase of one fluke

i've never owned a 211, but most of the stihl homeowner saws are very formidable saws imo.

IMHO, the OP has a right to be upset about this failure. However, I didn't even bother to read past the first post, because of the way it was presented. I'm only posting now due to curiousity about what drove it to be 7 pages long. The OP was nothing less than a short sighted rant. It's pretty obvious that he got a bad saw. I just got a bad 550XP from Husqvarna. Does that make it a bad saw? Hardly! Most of you know that I'm no fan of Stihl homeowner saws. I won't own one. There are better options out there. But, to go off on the brand as the OP did is simply short sighted. Even the homeowner saws fill their roles quite well. If this were a common problem, we of all people would know about it. It's not. Take your saw back and get another one, plain and simple.
