I am not quite sure what you mean by that. If you are saying I am trying to railroad LG or anyone out of town you would be mistakenYour line in the sand is beginning to look like a rail road track.

I would have never imagined my comments would be taken that way. I only thought a series of lines drawn in the sand resembles a rail road track.I am not quite sure what you mean by that. If you are saying I am trying to railroad LG or anyone out of town you would be mistaken
I take the railroad analogy as meaning that rather than a single line that shouldn't be crossed there are two with a gap in the middle with questionable boundaries?I am not quite sure what you mean by that. If you are saying I am trying to railroad LG or anyone out of town you would be mistaken
Ah, thanks for clearing that up.I would have never imagined my comments would be taken that way. I only thought a series of lines drawn in the sand resembles a rail road track.
Well yes pretty much. If something is of no concern to me I have have near zero reason to respond to it and to be honest not a lot here ever really peaks my interests in the terms of me feeling insulted or such.@tcmtech
You respond to posts as you see fit and leave the questionable ones to the moderators?
You leave your personal life out of the equation and only answer the ones you deem relevant, ignore the rest.
It's not rocket science?
I do not agree. The majority of the truly negative people I see on this forum are extremely self-indulgent with a good mount of contempt and arrogance thrown in. Their self bestowed god-hood allows them to displace the rules they agreed to, with their own ad hoc meanderings.............Not everyone gets the same out of what they read as everyone else..............
The way I read that, you just agreed with TCM.I do not agree.

If anything, my respect for the moderators in this place has only grown with time. I didn't realize at first how much of your personal time, dedication and, truth being told, hard work, is spent here. And to make things heftier, those efforts are sometimes met with blatant ingratitude.I can pretty much guarantee most of you that if you watched all the behind the scenes stuff you would see plenty of times that we have NOT deleted reported posts because we didn't believe doing so was appropriate, despite having recently deleted other posts by that same member and sometimes despite the general consensus being that the member in question is likely headed for a ban at some point.
How about some blatant gratitude: Over the last few days where everyone here has been subjected to a CRAPSTORM, you moderators have shown nothing but strength, character, and solid good judgment. Nuff said.............. efforts are sometimes met with blatant ingratitude.............
Kinda what I got from it as well but I do openly admit to being an english class flunkie.The way I read that, you just agreed with TCM.
Is it true that I did not receive what you sent?
Good point. No I was not talking about people's generally negative attitudes and the like but yes that plays a big part in how some will read most anything posted. I am more of an optimist so I tend to take things with little insult and when I do perceive there to be such I still give the benefit of the doubt to whether I have read it correctly or to whether the person worded things as clearly or effectively as they could.tmctech is talking about people sensitivities, and I am talking about some peoples negative mind sets. Am I being dense??
Cripes. I must have skin like an armored tank because I haven't seen any of this to be much than the usual light pee drizzle that seems to happen on most every forum once or twice a year.Over the last few days where everyone here has been subjected to a CRAPSTORM,
And it means just what you think it doesblatant ingratitude.
.............If you can't shrug off emotion and ego driven 50 caliber hail fire like like it's a light rain you don't have what it takes to play there.
I have what it takes to be here. tcmtech, I dig your banter. I just do not like the true A.H.s that have slithered into this forum.................It's an electronics forum at the end of the day and can do without all this s**t.
With some I think it's largely an age and lack of hard life experiences thing. I know what little maturity and tack I have learned over the years took a good deal of getting my head busted in by others who knew better than what I thought I knew.I have what it takes to be here. tcmtech, I dig your banter.

It's called "tough love" ... but in this place I'll call it "tough friendship"... to tone it down a bitWith some I think it's largely an age and lack of hard life experiences thing. I know what little maturity and tack I have learned over the years took a good deal of getting my head busted in by others who knew better than what I thought I knew.
Personally that's where I don't like seeing over moderation coming into play. By our own nature sometimes we need to have our peers slap the smug out of us while everyone else watches to help us grow up the right way and come to that understanding of the whats and wheres of our limitations and actions.
