Apparently my original post was not clear enough. Although I referenced the most recent locked thread, my post had nothing to do with that thread specifically. Daktah John seems to be the only person in this thread that fully understood my message, so I will clarify it a bit more.
I am getting real tired of the sniping and back biting between a small hand full of members here who for what ever reason cannon/will not leave each other alone. Or those who no matter with the situation just must have the last word. Case in point, in this thread it took Bob telling someone that it was time to quit, and that person in stead of just walking away, had to have the last word. Just saying nothing would have spoken so much louder than that ‘last word’ comment.
Then we have the ‘I told you so croud’, whose comments do nothing but inflame the situation. Totally unnecessary comment, with no other purpose thatn to instigate more conflict.
Maybe a little history of my perspective is on order. The first forum I found when I returned to model railroading and large scale in particular was the now defunct Large Scale Online. I lived there for two years until I found My Large Scale and Large Scale Centeral. I left LSOL for two reasons. First reason was the very topic of this thread. The second, why pay for the same informaton I can garner for free? Over time I migreated to LSC being my primary place for hobby association. I still visit MLS, but don’t post there very often. Over the course of the last couple of years, LSOL has closed it’s doors and MLS has changed hands, both resulting in folks from those sites relocating here. Some of those folks are the reason I migrated here in the first place.
Please take particular note that I have specifically not mentioned names, the intention is not to throw rocks at anyone, but rather bring a perspective to light in the hopes that these folks can, as has been said before, ‘think before they post’.
