RARE and Hard to find REAL technical individual

Can we start to invite more technically equip with real knowledge on W221 to facilitate most of our inquiries, although we have a few highly knowledgeable individuals like Diesel Benz, Konigster, the more would mean the better to answer our inquiries and save thousands of dollars a year instead of sending it to the dealerships.

Everyone has their own specialities and experiences :thats why a forum with a wiki that everyone adds to, is a great thing,for everyone to use and to be able to contribute to. I have just got the W221 for 5 months and learned a heck of a lot from here already and also from my own trial and error..
Anyway you are right, would be great to have some guru's onboard for full-time!!
(but they are probably too busy with helpng people ,to always look at the forum and have time to write a proper helpful contribution.)
Hopefully people here keep sharing their experiences and being guided by indeed rare W221 experts.

I dont think anyone would be apt to help you after they learn how disrespectful you are to people just trying to help.

Shifter your too naive you don't even know me at all, i contribute base on MB factory R & D procedures, stop flattering yourself cause you have nothing good to contribute except guessing and playing on chance, you'll be remembered and marked as those who should not be helped.

shifter who are you referring to? you don't even know the essence of this blog, its to nominate individuals who are eligible, the organizers and administrator is upgrading status of those REAL knowledgeable persons to GURU standing and there are a rare few on the W221. and for the members to know who to ask for when they encounter trouble with their W221.

You always sounds rude on this forum. Why so much hate? People are here to contribute as much as they can. Recently we had a new thread started about removing door panels, i helped that person because i knew exactly how to remove it bc i removed them myself. I didnt know how to do it before, Chris helped me, so now i know it. So its about sharing and trying to help each other as much as possible, even if you arent technician or very experienced professional. And speaking of knowledge, you do realize that there arent "S550 AMG". Just my 2 cents

Arlen777 that's your immature and unjustified comment and judgement, i am only rude to liars and ego trippers who deceive and give wrong information to those who are already in trouble with their issue.

To those who have gotten correct information from whoever (experience or not) is well taken, just don;t put risk into the hands of a non mechanic who may want to DIY their car trouble, Unless you know what your talking about i suggest you keep you malnourished thoughts to your self.

Damn i didnt offend you in any way and you react like that? How can you be so angry all the time, you either were bullied all your life or have a big problem with women, so now you angry at everyone and everything. I really feel bad for you and wish you the best, maybe you should take anger management or smth.

P.S. No comment on "S550 AMG"?

Nothing about Arlen's response was either rude or immature. Your reaction however, has been both.

Wow, for someone so easily "offended" by JUDGEMENT, look at your own. Perhaps next time someone is "deceiving" and "give out wrong information", stop and think that they might not know the correct answer and are simply contributing their expertise on the subject. Admittedly, it's annoying to have misinformation float around, however this is a forum, and that's the risk you take when following advice posted here. That being said, maybe next time simply correct their mistake and CONTRIBUTE instead of berating someone trying to help. You'll see that forums work much like anything else in life: you get out what you put in.

I think someone just needs to relax and take a dip in that "cool lagoon" and cool off.

The issue is this, people with real in dealership experience share their thoughts/ findings on issues and this kid cool lagoon shoots them down like the know nothing. Sound familiar? Stop the hating/ disrespect whatever you want to call it.

shifter you still have milk on your lips, and stop flattering yourself, stop calling me kid when you don't even know how old i am, there is no hating on my part just despise individuals like you who only create chaos. Be a man and stand up to your mistake or are you too egoistic and high prided that you can't admit your fault!

Arlen777 sorry yes the cap lock got stuck hahahhahahahahaha

What do you think you're doing by bickering and complaining about forum conduct? Nearly every thread you comment on includes you calling someone a name or telling them to "get out of here" or "take a hike", based purely on your opinion. If you want civility on this forum, I suggest leading by example.

As for now, I suggest calming down and stepping away from the keyboard. Maybe re-evaluate your decision to become a "keyboard warrior". FYI, nobody wins in forum arguments.
