I got a rocket from Jim Francis about my MLS post. "Phil, that post was uncalled for!Plus it makes Bob look bad for having people shill for his site on other sites.
Jim"
Phil,
That is a really good one! Especially considering the fine bunch of shills hanging out on Mighty Large Soap!
on the “slather” … hmmmmmmmmmmmmm really. 
Yer such a card, Hansie! Go ahead and use my name…why bounce around it? I’m not as stupid as you sound.
Just nice to see that yer unchanging in your desire to cut people down and not say ANYTHING nice about folks. At least yer consistent in yer ugly posts.
And yer soooooo clever with the acronyms for MLS.
Are you only 4-feet tall?
I prefer the one I saw the other day “Many Lame Skulls”.

It’s one of the rules over at MLS to not make fun of people, but I guess it’s OK if you’re a moderator? Or have you forgotten? I still remember your put down of my thoughts, and quite frankly, it’s one of the reasons I don’t post nearly as much over there. No great loss in your mind, I’m sure.

Oh oh, Dave was right! BTW TC, I have plenty of nice things to say about people and their creations, you just don’t read the fora when and where that happens. That can’t be helped. Aside from that, I call them as I see/perceive them. Consistency is a trait that would look good on some of the MLS crowd. 
Oh, since you inquired how tall I am: 173cm (according to my passport). I like to use the metric measurements, makes me look much taller.
Ah Bruce…no such thing! Bob allows that sort of discourse here and I am only doing what other members here have done. How does THAT make me the pot (or the kettle or whatever?) I said that I will treat the discussions here the same as everyone else…so where there are put-downs and innuendos, I can do the same. All for one and one for all!
I don’t honestly remember to what you are referring as to you and me, Bruce. I don’t remember your “thoughts” or my “put-down”. But then again, can’t I disagree with something someone says? Detail, please, on the “put-down” aspect. Interesting one person has the power to cause another to dump all the other people and information who make up the website. Some about noses to spite faces?
Hansie…68.11 inches…hmmmmm…5 feet and 8 some inches
Let’s see, that makes me 193.04 centimeters.
Let’s see using the Metric System…I’m 195.58 centimeters.

Get out the dictionary:
German saying “Er ist nicht gross, aber er ist halt lang.”
I know, I know… here I go again with the subtle differentiations.
Oh BTW, Google, doesn’t get it; perhaps the wrong heritage.
The software I sometimes use is reasonably close
“He is not tall, he is just long.”
I’d say, close enough for the intent.
Of course my translation would be: “He doesn’t have stature, but he is quite long”
OTOH there are people who get upset with my ability to translate the original intent to a different language, funny thing with language.

Marvin,
Take a number or read the reply to Towneeeeeeeeeee, if I remember correctly you should get the meaning of the original German. Yeah, I know “mean” is at the root of “meaning”
PS the reason I’m so “mean”: since I’m “only average height” (Swiss males born 1945), I compensated with language skills. That happened long before anyone thought of Internet advantages.
Jesus, I cant go away for 3 days without this kind of crap happening again?
Everyone, take 10. Knock it off!
"Bob allows that sort of discourse here and I am only doing what other members here have done. "
What part of Bruce’s post do you think I allow here?

Ja verstehe ich voellig. Die Bedeutung ist zu mir sehr klar.
Can I come out and play if I promise to be good ?
God Almighty , you blokes ,
My computer’s been down for 36 hours , and look what I missed . I haven’t even bothered to read half of it , given the names of some of the authors . Trying to be clever at the end of a long bit of wire is a bit juvenile . You all went through this before , it got you nowhere .
I stopped posting when things started to get out of hand , now you buggers do the same .
Leave it to the children .
Mike , thoroughly disgusted .
PS Just have a little think about who is most likely to gain from people looking for another site to sign up to , I can think of two here . Use your judgement , stay loyal , and you will be the winners in this with a clear conscience .
Down here in South Texas, our reference that can be applied to certain individuals is “He’s all hat and no cattle!” Translate THAT to German and keep the MEANing, Hanzi!
…and in Australia we have a saying:
“Don’t come the raw prawn with me”.
Phil should be able to explain what that means for those that don’t understand Strine.
Actually Bazza Mackenzie said it well.
“Go point Percy at the porcelain”. Into the wind would be a good idea.
You want more? There are hundreds.
Funny how the air gets very foul when certain people visit and drop a load …They are the same ones who wouldn’t be tolerated over on the web page they inhabit, if they dropped the same load there.
What is the point of their visit in the first place.
This is a model railroad forum, and yes it is open to everyone to say their piece…
But…what is the point of wasting band width on such drivel as what we have seen on this thread.
Just thought I'd ask.........What part of knock it off wasnt clear? You people are trying my patience. Ive tried to let the forums police themselves, with as little control as possible, but a handful of people cant leave well enough alone, and insist on stirring things up for the sole purpose of creating havoc.
ENOUGH!
