All right. Now hear this.

I'm not even over reacting, you guys commenting are jumping to see who can be the first to criticize.
Knock it off.


Commentary that isn't a sledgehammer of HEY STUPID is still fine. I actually dig talking to most of you. Some, are getting a bit prickly.


For the most recent example:
This is Syracuse NY, not New York City...
https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryPorn/comments/9bj14s/the_new_york_central_streamliner_mercury_passes/
New York City Hall is what I wrote.
It's what the source material says.
 chill - the - hell - out.

For the 2nd example:
Wouldn't it have taken less time to just edit the text to delete the word "jet" instead of explaining that the error is not your fault because you copied the verbiage from elsewhere? Less confrontational too. :)


hey Mike.... look at the screen in front of you carefully. Up top. see that URL? That means you're on my playground. I get to explain things how I like. Oh, it's not the way you think I should? really? Do you think I woke up this morning to please you? Hey Mike? Shut the fuck up. Now.

For the 3rd example, and yes, these are all JUST THIS MORNING:

I'm not trying to be a troll, I just want to keep the record straight on these Manning based cars. There are a number of people making false claims that unfortunately hurt the value of the real ones and impede the search for the missing remaining ones.



Ok... so - make a website, and "keep the record straight on these Manning based cars" That's your mission. Not mine. I find, I photograph, I post. I don't give a flying fuck about the "value of the real ones" that's for rich wealthy people who don't give a shit about life, they are focused with laser precision on getting money from flipping and selling and buying and flipping and selling. 
 I do not buy, sell, flip, or wake up worrying about the value of the cars other people own, sell, buy, or invest in.
 There are a number of people making false claims? Lawyer up. Tell them. In fact, go beat the shit out of them for having the audacity to falsely effect the market value. Know why? Because that is between you, and them. Not me. Did I claim this, that, or the other? NO. Joel? You showed up with a complaint on the wrong day about hurting the value, and the bank accounts, of rich people. Impeding the search? Seriously, calm the fuck down. Who has the FBI searching for these? Ok? Chill. Out.

I don't know what pushes your buttons, but you guys are getting too fucking critical lately.

It's passed the point of being cute.

I'm not proof reading enough for you? Not catching the source material making mistakes and fixing them before you see "jet fuel" in a B 25?


3 of you had to jump on that like it's a competition to proof read and correct me.

Take all that pent up little puppy eagerness and hyper energy - and send it to someone who needs it.


I'm running out of cheery happy feeling over here, because you guys are fucking killing it every god damn day.

Every fucking day you are making me a little bit more god damn tired of being nice.


Knock it the fuck off. I don't want apologies, I don't want excuses, I want a cessation of hostilities from your side of the blog. ENOUGH. Shut it.



I'm just not here to be a fucking punching bag for typos, mistakes, errors, and source material screw ups.

Most of what you read is patched together from source material that wrote it up first or best. I read it, grab that stuff that I can stitch together to make a better story than several of the places I get content from, and I do that to craft a more complete and thorough story that gets the full picture across on my site than my contemporaries - so that I'll have done my best, and brought the better version of the story to whoever comes along to read it here.

That's why most of my longer articles have many links to all the places I borrowed from.

If you can't say something nice - then don't say (       ) get it? Nothing. There is nothing between
 the ( ) marks. That's an example of all I need to hear about mistakes.


I thought I covered this before. No one subscribed, there were no signatures on a mailing list, no registration, and your input was never required. You can hold onto the bitching, I'm sure I have all I need or will be helped by already.

I'll say this again, as some of you may not be long term readers... I'm doing this blog for fun. For me. I actually ENJOY finding this stuff, and SHAAARRING it.

The next MFer that bitches is going to get me coming through this computer screen and breaking his fingers on his keyboard. Capisce?


in the time I dealt with bitchy bullshit this morning I could have found something cool, funny, or amazing.

Everyone who usually enjoys whatever nonsense I amuse myself with? You all get to take those whiny ones out back and straighten them out. Don't let them back in until they get right in the head.

For all you guys who are "oooh, my feelings are hurt, I was only trying to help!"
Go away, don't come back, the exit sign is lit up over the door so you can find your way OUT

    1. Thanks, you don't need to comment more. Commenting only matters if the person doing it feels compelled to for a good reason. Like a smile, it only matters if it's genuinely spontaneous.
      You're welcome.

    1. Thank you, but it's not just the typo and grammar trolls. It's far more, every damn day. Telling me stuff I know, that everyone knows, and that I've posted about, as if I'm a moron. Like the above example 1, or http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2018/10/darlene-is-super-nice-and-sent-me.html?showComment=1538745242542#c2008101101928531767

  4. My own rule is that I'll comment on a post if I think I can add some information or a relevant viewpoint. Quibbling over minor errors or slagging off someone who publishes a blog for free? - hmm, not so much.
    By the way, Jesse, don't forget you owe me a beer when I get across the pond.

    2. it's more than minor errors, and it's just non stop. Someone this morning thought I needed to be told about the origins of the semi trailer. Not the first company to make them (already posted about) but that I was using the term wrong, and that a trailer has wheels front and back and a semi trailer only has them on the back, hence - semi, for being hauled by a tractor truck... OMFG... like I'm not thoroughly informed on the trailers, trucking, semis, 18 wheelers, where trucking started, how it evolved from road trains, etc etc etc. That was this morning, a day after this post telling people to knock it off.

  5. Occasionally, it's nice to just say thanks as well.
    Thanks Jesse.

G'day Jesse,well it seems you are being hounded by the ever growing band of total dickheads that have never accomplished a bloody thing in their lives;apart from putting others down and trying to bring us down to their level of mediocrity and politics of envy !Just remember that old Latin phrase Mate....Nil Bastardio Carborundum. translation....Never let the bastards grind you down. Keep up your superlative blog man,I love it and have been looking for lots of years now. Sincere thanks from down under. Rob Gilbert Adelaide,South Australia.
