Seriously. Do you think that racking up posts as fast as you can type gets you clout around here? Most of what I've read from you thus far is nonsense. Sometimes less is more, bro.
Sorry to butt in with that.
I understand. I'm not claiming to have clout around here,but everyone else thinks they do! Being a member of a forum for a long time seems to give others a feeling of superiority. At least,that's the way I've seen it! I'm not disagreeing with you,but everyone else seems to think that a member that's been on here for a while is the be all,end all of information,just because they know a little more about a certain subject that everyone else! In Ginos' case I was only ribbing! The fiasco that I was referring to was trooper master being banned,and all the shinanighans that surrounded it! TM got himself banned because of his own actions! Please don't take this personally,as I'm not attacking anyone in particular with this post! It's impossible to prove anything over the internet,as you don't always know who is on the other end of its' connection providing such information. Especially without knowing the source of it! There are those that will believe whatever a trusted source tells them,even if it's wrong! I.E. newspaper,magazine retractions,and lawsuits for false information - even on the internet! One such incident is even in a thread here on the RPF. Unfortunately,people will believe whatever they wish,even if it's WRONG! I've seen a lot of mudslinging here on the RPF,and I know I've kicked a lot of sand,and have had it kicked back at me. There's a lot of non-sense on T.V.,and I watch a LOT of it! This unfortuantely works it's way into the public concience,and people believe it,just because it's on T.V.! Now it's made its' way onto the internet! With the annonymity of a faceless sea of people - it's hard to know who's who! This is a constant problem,and I've had a few members here clue me into what's going on around here. There are a few that ruined a good thing on the RPF,and there are
still quite a few that ruining it now with the constant bickering back,and forth about who's right,or who's wrong about a certain subject! These ARE members that have been on here for YEARS! I'm not going to name anyone,but we ALL have our good days,and bad days. I'm no exception. I've already had this conversation with another member here about this very subject,and now I really feel unwelcomed in a community of THOUSANDS of people here that are
SUPPOSED to be sharing experience,and ideas on how to make things that otherwise wouldn't exist! It's only a hobby type forum,and it's a privelage to be here - not a right! Anyone can join(except banned members),and it's free to do so right now,but how many would pay to keep their membership if it wasn't? Many peolple here feel compelled to stand up for their friends,or people that they respect openly -THIS is what is ruining the forum! Please people,send a P.M. t othe member(s)whos' post(s) you find offensive! If anyone feels so,please,P.M.me,andI'll either edit it,or remove all offensive comments! Please forgive the hijack! I just want to clear the air of all the sand I've kicked up here!:$
lol
