Sorry Suzie but I do not see anywhere that you were rediculed
You started 2 threads for the same problem which normally would have the techs asking you to remove one of them
In both cases you were given honest strait forward answers
Kohler Courage 19 crankcase mounts
Rivets #1 asked for the mower details , the exact same way he always does
Me # 2 gave you generic information on engine mounting bolts , where to find the information Rivets asked for and how to get better replies by finding out corret names
You never responded to either of us
Your scond thread
Engine Mount bolt broken off
Me # 1 gave reasonably detailed generic instructions on removing broken bolts, the way I do it
you # 2 a plain ( and appreciated ) thank you .
I do not see anywhere that you were treated in a humilitating or demeaning mannar
I for one take some extra time when responding to posts from people who are not commensurate with mowers and /or mower terminology and this is regardless of the gender of the poster .
I ran a courier business with 400 customers of which 350 were either a single woman ( food writers / styists / photographers ) or run by women and this came about because I treated them like humans with respect so they recommended me word of mouth.
FWIW I am married to a true femanist ( not a bra buring exhibitionist ) and I am well aware of the demeaning attitudes many men take towards women so I take extra care to explain what I do & why I do it to them, if they ask for it .
So to have you accuse me of treating you badly because of your gender is quite insulting.
Even more so as you choose to do it in some one elses thread , not in your own.
You know wat your problems are because it is staring you in the face
We have noting to work with but letters on a screen so regularly need to ask people to clarify what exatly they want to know which is all your were asked to do
