It is interesting that this thread was derailed by SB staff and turned into a circus and a stage for the SB staff to pound their chests about how wonderful, caring and loving people they think they are. If this time wasting nonsense happened somewhere else on SB by people who aren't staff, it would have been moderated quickly. What hypocrisy!
To be honest, I'm surprised to hear this from you
 
I hope that you aren't taking yourself seriously here or think that you are funny or wise.

Serious as a heart attack
 
Actually, you haven't.

I have made it but you don't get it. At any rate, enough of this nonsense. If you don't get it, too bad. You want to find something to argue about, good luck to you.

Exactly. And the mods made their point by highjacking the thead and taking it off topic. Which would be bad enough if they hadn't overwhelmed the thread with so much really, really bad humor. Oh, heavens. That explains so much.
 
You can take the thread back to its original premise, if you'd like to do so.

In fact, please do.
 
Ya know, , I am a "newer" member. With that in mind, I remember what it was like here some years ago. I posted a bit, but was intimidated just a touch...

Years went by, and I learned a lot. From the easy going folks, and also from the "gruff" folks.

There are a number of folks here on the forum that I think quite highly of. T Bone, Johnny C, Wookie, The Chairman, Sam Miller, and a host of others. I had a series of PM's with northernone.

In my early days, I was "moderated" a time or two. And I deserved it.

I can't speak for anyone else, but at one time this board was pretty brutal. Over the years things have changed, as they always do. I don't post a lot, anyone can see that. I don't have the highest dive count. But I strive to be better, always.

Sometimes, I believe, we all need to take a step back. Remember that we are all divers, however diverse that term may be. Are the mods always right? Of course not. Are WE always right? Same answer, in my mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is not required that we like each other. Hell, it aint required that we respect each other. But, in my Hillbilly mind, things are so much nicer if we at least LISTEN to each other with an open mind.

All it takes is the first step.....
